I've made a number of videos about the music of Final Fantasy, including the genius of The Prelude, how they remade Final Fantasy VII's soundtrack, You're Not Alone from FFIX, and the personal impact of the track Fisherman's Horizon in my life. Here's a playlist with all the Final Fantasy videos I've made:
