Valentine's Day is over. And yet, we've got a love focused Favorite Tunes because you can celebrate a day with that special someone any day of the week/year.
Love Theme (Mother 3) - Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Insert line about how Nintendo won't release Mother 3 here. Despite having never been released outside of Japan (official, anyways) Mother 3 is still known rather well outside of it's home country. The game's main star, Lucas has appeared in the past three Super Smash Bros. game along with several arrangements from his game of origin.
Theme of Love - Final Fantasy IV Celtic Moon
The shift from the NES to the SNES brought some big changes to the Final Fantasy series. Nobou Ueamatsu's compositions for Final Fantasy IV sound nothing short of outstanding. You know you're doing something right when one of your songs becomes part of Japan's school curriculum. Since I posted the original Theme of Love years ago, here's an arranged version from the album Final Fantasy IV Celtic Moon.
Eyes on Me - Final Fantasy VIII (PS)
I remember liking FFVIII quite a bit when I played through it nearly 20 years ago. I'd have to play it again to give a current opinion on it. I do think the music sounds just as great as it down two decades ago. There are actually a few arranged versions of Eyes on Me throughout the game included such as My Mind. The vocals were performed by Faye Wong.
Fallin' Love - EarthBound Beginnings (NES)
More than two decades later, the first EarthBound game was released outside of Japan as EarthBound Beginnings. Being a retro RPG, it is very difficult with a high random encounter rate and without a guide, completing this game can be impossible.
Mipha's Theme - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U, NS)
All hail, our fish waifu! Paya was my first choice for best Breath of the Wild waifu, but then I meat Mipha. One of the four champions and she was clearly crushing on Link. Alas, each of the champions was met with death, which killed her chances of being with Link. From the grave, she assists Link with Mipha's Grace, an auto restore ability that will activate whenever Link is slain.
To the Future - Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals (SNES)
The name of the game may be Lufia II, but the events of this one actually sets up the plot for the first game, making this a prequel. I played the first game, then played this one so if you've never played the Lufia series, start with this one, then move on to Fortress of Doom. If the music doesn't make it too apparent, the ending to this game is quite the tear jerker.
