Favorite Video Game Composers

[Scotty]

The title, really.
I suppose I'll list my favorites.
• Matt Furniss (Especially his work on "Alien 3" (Genesis), "Wolfchild" (Genesis), "Zool" (Genesis), and "T2: The Arcade Game" (Genesis))
• Yuzo Koshiro (Mainly because of "Streets of Rage 1 & 2")
• David Wise (Pretty much everyone at Rare, if I'm being honest)
• Naoki Kodaka
• Tim & Geoff Follin (RIP Geoff.❤)
• Jeroen Tel (His "Robocop 3" (NES) compositions SLAP!)
• Yoko Shimomura (Mainly for "Mario & Luigi". Not entirely familiar with her other works... Although, she APPARENTLY did "Street Fighter 2's" OST as well—which threw me for a loop when I discovered that lol.)

I'm sure once I eventually get into the "Final Fantasy" franchise, Nobuo Uematsu will be on there as well lol.

Masato Nakamura, which is the composer of Sonic 1 and 2, and Nobuo Uematsu.

Since Final Fantasy Tactics is my favorite game of all time, I guess I have to go with Hitoshi Sakimoto.

My favorite composer will always be Shoji Meguro, the man who pretty much has composed a ton of Atlus games but most famously Shin Megami Tensei as far back as Persona 1 and the PS2 era (including the best Smt game Trauma Center :^)). I always listen to his stuff as he has a lot of variety of vibes.

Also Yoko Shimomura is GOATed for her KH OSTs and the use of the violins : P.

Honorable Composers though would be:
-Ryota Kozuka (composer of the more modern era of Smt like Smt V).
-Tetsuya Shibata/Mitsuhiko Takano (Mahvel 2!).
-Toby Fox (funny skeleton man game and the game about delta or something).
-Yuka Tsujiyoko (Fire Emblem as a whole).
-Nobuo Uemastsu (Square games)
-Daisuke Ishiwatari (Guilty Gear and Blazblue).

I absolutely love Yoko Shimomura's work in Parasite Eve, Shoji Meguro and Akira Yamaoka in pretty much everything. Also Kai Rosenkranz's soundtrack for Gothic 3 and Daughter's music from Life is Strange: Before the Storm will forever live in my heart.

Hideki Naganuma (Jet Set Radio. Sonic Rush,)
Michiru Yamane (Castlevania, Skullgirls, Bloodstained)

Sonic Rush's OST is amazing. Especially "What U Need".

Wait, Yamane-san did the music for "Bloodstained"!? That's awesome to hear that they're still around like Koshiro-san.

I love Sonic Rush's OST, I wish Hideki Naganuma got to compose for more Sonic games

And yep, she sure did! Still around and still making awesome music
