Oh man, sad to hear but he more than earned his retirement! My favourite pieces by him are probably One winged Angel for FF7 and Answers for FF14.

What a legend. Take some well-deserved time for yourself.

Is it cheap for me to pick "Dancing Mad" from FF6. It's just so epic, and it feels like it so accurately represents Kefka's madness together with the seriousness and impossibility of what our heroes are setting out to do.
