I hate how everything that anybody loves is chalked up to nostalgia.
Damn it, could it possibly be that we simply love Uematsu's style? The music he's done before? It's not f'in' nostalgia to prefer a series signature composer over newer ones. It's like when a lead guitarist in your favorite band gets replaced; almost never the same afterwards.
Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.
