I actually prefer Trigger's OST to Cross's |
I've always felt the arrangments from Chrono Cross are just more refined then Chrono Trigger, I love the CT soundtrack and it's one of the best out there, but Xenogears and Chrono Cross are just mindblowingly good. The orchestral arragements for CT are pretty amazing though, I wish Xenogears could have gotten that treatment.
I think Koichi Sugiyama is the better composer. As he influenced them both and produces, in my opinion, the best music for a major RPG series in Japan.
However, just focusing on the two choices for the thread, I couldn't really choose. My default choice would have to say Mitsuda for ultimate enjoyment of his music, but Uematsu has produced far more music. I suppose I have to say Mitsuda however, for his consistency and more awesome work.

Koichi Sugiyama should be considered, it's sad that his work is overlooked the way it is, the Dragon Quest Symphonic Suites are amazing, I still prefer Mitsuda myself though.

Damn rightt.
"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."
When you listen what Uematsu does with the black mages and his most remembered peices in orchestrated version I have to say Uematsu. I liked what Mitsuda did with Chrono trigger but it didnt have the depth of what Uematsu did in all of his works(at least the ones Ive listened)

Nobuo Uematsu is the person who composed the music for the Final Fantasy series (except Final Fantasy 13) as well as Mistwalker's Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. Yasunori Mitsuda is the person who composed the music for Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Xenosaga: Episode 1, Soma Bringer and Sands of Destruction.
For me, it's Yasunori Mitsuda >>>>>>>>> Nobuo Uematsu :) |
you forgotten the FF 12 music...it's also not composed by Nobuo.
This thread is rediculous. Nobuo is the only answer you can give. Not only does his resume destroy others in JRPG's, every game has it's unique style while remaining his mark.
Mitsuda with a really small difference for me.Both of them are awesome!

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.
