Yoko Shimomura did my favorite game soundtrack to date with Legend of Mana, so I voted for her. Nobuo Uematsu takes second for his work in the Final Fantasy series.

There is a bracket, this is the wildcard poll to decide who gets to face off in the final three-way with Uematsu and Kondo

Nekomata Master, probably

Maybe Mitsuda from the ones on the list?

Dels posted...
Masayoshi Soken probably deserves to be mentioned here for FFXIV and all its expansions. Even if it's "only one game".


How much of the music from the expansions did he do? I know FFXIV has a big team of composers at this point.

I don't actually know. I thought I'd generally heard he's responsible for the majority of it, but maybe not.

keiichi okabe being exclusively "the nier guy" in monaca has also struck me as odd at times considering keigo hoashi has done about as many songs in it as him

not to mention more of the major songs in similar soundtracks like yuuki yuuna too

okabe was the music director for it but still

i guess the key difference is that keigo also does other styles in other works and keiichi just doesn't

How are you supposed to tell which people have done which tracks on soundtracks worked on by more than one person? I can't find anything about what differentiates Soken and Keiichi Okabe from the other people on their team.

back in the day he was a pretty great freelance PC-98 composer too, using the NAVA name
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n35uj098EIU

OMG this was one of two VGMC XIII tracks I wasn't able to find anywhere! And the other one, The Darkness Crawling, should be uploaded before long too in Mycro's topic. Not that they're my favorites or anything, but yeah, it's nice to know where to find them. Oh WAIT, there's a third one I can't find... Fairytale Poison and Solitude....oh, well.

But really, I enjoy topics like these because they always introduce me to some new music! I put all of such tracks on a playlist..... too bad most people didn't provide any examples of their composers, but then again, I didn't either.

Except it's kind of combined with other music.
