The Classic FM Hall of Fame, an annual compilation of the 300 most popular classical works decided upon via a public vote, has announced some developments notable to video games.
Glad to see it. The soundtrack for XV is incredible.
As for the XV soundtrack, I recently spent 50 hours playing the game and there’s not one song I can actively remember the theme for. Looking back at all of Nobuo’s works and I recall so many of his themes across games.
I think Uematsu is the absolute GOAT, but XV had a great soundtrack. Not on Uematsu level of memorable, but still very good.
The leitmotif work with Valse di Fantastica/Sunset Waltz/Dewdrops at Dawn always was my favourite, but Ardyn has a nice theme too. Loved when the second version of his theme came in towards the end of the game.
Uematsu greatly deserves any honor he gets.
