uematsu has written lots of music from my childhood

but stuff like NOCTIS just blows the majority of what he's done out of the water

meh

Shimamura's okay, but I'd probably rank my 50th favorite Uematsu song above my 5th favorite Shimamura song. The Apocalypsis songs are the only ones in FFXV's OST I was particularly into, and they're almost the same song.

Sakuraba probably better than Shimomura too, but his bad stuff is worse than her bad stuff.

His Xenoblade tracks are pretty uninspired.

Sakuraba gets way too much hate. I'd put his best stuff right up there against anyone's. He's just inconsistent, unfortunately.

Ok, yes. To be fair, he has some good shit. But his default is the worst kind of buttrock.

And when he's not on he's, well, consistent.

She was the composer for Street Fighter 2 which is bigger than literally any Final Fantasy game

not to mention Kingdom Hearts

Nah, no way

Uematsu is just super duper eclectic and Shimomura has a very specific style. You can see it even when she's branching really far away from her current instrumentation of choice, with something like her Streets of Rage 4 cut. Uematsu is so flexible you can find something to love with him even if you detest some of his songs. If Shimomura's default misses with you the only thing you're liable to like from her is Guile's Theme, and that was aaaaaages ago. Uematsu's best is also just kind of trascendentally good at whatever mood he's tackling. Stuff like Dragonsong, Answers, Balamb Garden, The Extreme, Dancing Mad...and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Pretty much this.

Shimomura is good at what she does, but Uematsu has a lot more range.

Shimomura is a bit same-y; sure, you might say that about nobuo too, but I disagree

from FFIV - VIII uematsu was basically killing it

Uematsu's big epic tracks are more varied and interesting than Shimomura's, but I think when it comes to a whole game's score, including the more chill background music, Shimomura's style makes for such a comforting and cohesive feel. She rocks the battle themes too so it's not like Uematsu has a clear edge on those.

Also she has the best 30s loop in all of gaming music
