This might not qualify as a real question, but since I just bought the scroll for the orchestrion and re-discovered this beautiful, beautiful piece of music: How dare you compose something so wonderful like "Fragments of Forever"?!
I almost started to cry listening to it yesterday and mainly wanted to say "Thanks!/Domo Arigato!" here!

It does remind me a bit of a piece from FFX, but I cant pinpoint which one - so maybe as a real question: How often do you take inspiration from earlier FF-games (or other games)? Beside the obvious re-arrangments for things like Sigma etc. when its clear that the whole raid is a reference.
