You actually think this is good??

I think it sucks....

bahh miss the old SNES/PS1/PS2/N64 days.... then atleast they could do great music.

You should check your ears then, maybe the music in old VG appealed more to you because maybe you cant apreciate harmonies as much as simple melodies, so the problem is you.

It seems like people go more for poppy sounds and "funny" melodies in VG than orchestrated music with good sound quality and well composed as this one.

Yet, for many composers, a well arranged, sophisticated orchestral soundtrack does not come at the expence of a strong melodic presence. Joe Hisaishi has already been mentioned in this thread, and I could list a wealth of others, both within the video game industry and without. Hell, even Wagner himself did not forego melody. So why, exactly, should Hamazu?


And I didnt say there is a reason to let melodies out, I just said people tend to say these songs suck because they cant find the melody in them and prefer cell phone ring tone like music to this.

Reality is that melodies and harmonies in a song make it richer, and I can find both in these. The chocobo theme didnt sound like elevator music and saying the other songs are "meh" or typical orchestrated music is like when people that listen to britney spears say every metal song sounds the same, a guitar and a guy hitting the drums fast.
