No one likes music?

I don't like it in a general aspect.

Yasunori Mitsuda by FAR. He composed the music for Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Xenosaga: Episode 1 and Soma Bringer. Check it out
























Simply amazing.



Dude, that's too much music.

Seriously, no one's going to bother to listen to all of that and it's annoying to scroll through it. 5 or 6 is OK, but 22? No.



Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita

Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte

Sugu yoko de waratteita

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

I will never leave you

Koji Kondo...And that woman who made the Fire Emblem theme.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

I just noticed....almost every composer I like has a Wii game coming up (except for Hiroki Kikuta):

Shimomura - Xenoblade
Uematsu - The Last Story (probably)
Mitsuda - Arc Rise Fantasia
Sugiyama - Dragon Quest X
Koji Kondo - Super Mario Galaxy 2 or the new Zelda
Yamamoto - Metroid: Other M (probably)



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Martin O'Donnel

I have the every soundtrack he's released, the man is a musical genius.

Iwadare (Lunar, Grandia, Growlanser), Sakuraba (Tales, Star Ocean, Baten Kaitos, Eternal Sonata,...), Shimomura Yoko (Parasite Eve, Super Mario RPG), Ishikawa Jun (Krbyz).



"And yet, I've realized that maybe living a "decent" life means you won't ever have a "good" life."

 

Is there any good non-japanese composer?



Personally I can't stand any of the japanese music in games.

I don't know the names of the composers but I like the music in Halo, Uncharted, and the original Tomb Raiders to name a few.
