0:53.2	Yeah, from the beginning, they figured out the theme. And then, so Ishi after Final Fantasy III,
1:01.7	he got his own series that we would know as Secret of Mana eventually. But in America, the first
1:06.6	game was localized as Final Fantasy Adventure and we did a whole podcast about that. But one thing I

2:10.6	Yeah, this version of the theme really has like a siren or something going in the background.
