See my post above. Also I think you should really broaden your scope (and possibly repertoire) of actual composers of music for JRPGs. There's actually more than just Uematsu (and even the select few that have been named in this thread). Many who work on a host of different mediums from Anime to live action film to even Hollywood productions. Uematsu is not the only one out there and frankly not the best. Just like John Williams is not the only composer for film scores in Hollywood. And yes, I did not choose that example by chance. |
This thread is about Uematsu or Mitsuda. Clearly because FF13 has come under scrutiny ( and because his last 2 games were 360 exclusive ) the majority of FF lovers will obviously say Mitsuda. Even though his game resume is clearly nothing in comparison. Just like when Hironobu Sakaguchi was with Square Enix FF fans could say no wrong about him. They pretty much worshiped the guy. When he left, it's all like oh well he's not that good. LOL. I've been gaming long enough to know that Uematsu is a legend in JRPGs. The same for Sakaguchi ( after all there would be no FF if not for him ). I dont care who else in Japan is or isnt better. But in gaming Uematsu has won more awards than any other Japanese game composer.
