Basically impossible for me to vote for anyone other than Uematsu, however TWEWY soundtrack helped make TWEWY what it is.

Motoi Sakaruba

the piano solo in tales of phantasia has stuck with me till this day


I actually used it for my music project in secondary school

I think sakimoto would get more love if more people had played his games/heard his music.

YASUNORI MITSUDA (Chrono series, Xenogears, Xenosaga series, Shadow Hearts series)​

This imo the most amazing ost's the music in xenogears is just so damn good

This!!!!

Uematsu is the obvious choice here, but there is something to be said about Mitsuda and Shimomora. I love both of them too. But...it's UEMATSU PEOPLE!

Unfortunately , most of his game are niche or bomb in term of sale , even the anime . Out of old composer from Square Soft , He is definitely the most consistent composer in term of quality and expand his style further during those years . Many people surely dont know he can even rock

Nobuo Uematsu

Uematsu by far.

Suikoden is still my favorite JRPG soundtrack of all time though.

I'd have to go Uematsu as well. The others are great but he has the biggest impact on video game music. I'm kind of surprised I can't remember the music from a lot of the other artists. I think the only series I've never played a game in is the seiken densetsu so that was an automatic out.
