I have a concept for a painstakingly boring stream that no one would ever ask for: I stream my reactions and give intimate insight into how every single track has emotionally moved me for all 4.5 hours of the FFX OST
currently listening to the track that plays while solving the Cloister of Trials thinking about the lonely and wistful hours I spent running back and forth trying to solve the puzzle, wishing I could exit the puzzle, the uneasiness of what will happen if and when I can solve it
I could write an entire thread about the Hymn of the Fayth and its various iterations. Truly some of the most intensely spiritual moments of FFX that lead me to stop in-game to just sit and listen to take it in and think about the story of the Aeon associated with the hymn.
FFX was the last game I played that I felt truly immersed and fully invested in. My first go-round with it was around 2005-ish. I'm not sure if there will ever be another time where I feel so completely transported by a game. A huge chunk of that had to do with the soundtrack.
The FFX OST painted the background for a lush, robust story in a medium that was aesthetically more engaging than any of my books. When I listen now I overwhelmed with a nostalgia for a time when I had the patience, imagination, and enthusiasm to embrace a good story.
