>Is it just some kind of naive "HURR VIDEO GAME MUSIC IS NOT REAL MUSIC" attitude amongst critics that prevents awards being given to best video game songs?
Pretty much. There's this widespread retarded attitude of "comissioned art cannot be of any value whatsoever" attitude when it comes to people and music and it can be found everywhere, even on this board.

Video game music is often just repetitive background music, though. Sure there's some games with really good and unique scores, but the majority of games have just copy and paste """"epic"""" scores.

That fucking bass.

Persona 3 music was pretty fucking goat, though. P4 is probably the weakest.

>>74341877
The real answer is that most videogame soundtracks, like most film soundtracks, are not exceptional in much of any way.

Shoji Meguro writes good music but it's not paradigm shifting stuff. He's made this music 10 years ago and this is just a more refined version of that same music.

You need to look at music a bit more critically.

This. You have to have really low standards to think that the P5, or any Persona soundtrack for that matter, are groundbreaking in any way. SMT is where it's really at.

>only innovative, groundbreaking msuci receive awards and commercial recognition
Is this some sort of joke I'm just too dumb to understand? Are you simply on too many layers of irony for me to comprehend?

>>74342228
In an ideal world that should be the case. The P5 soundtrack is just fairly competent pop, anyway. It's really nothing special compared to actual releases.

Since we're talking video-game music, here's my all time favorite composer. Fucking Hitoshi Sakimoto. Nothing comes close to his atmosphere.

I mean what awards are you talking about? Oscars are often quite good with their distribution of awards. For instance Grand Budapest Hotel instead of Interstellar.

As far as commercial recognition, you're playing a waifu sim game that has JRPG elements and you're expecting mainstream America to just accept "Oh yeah, this game is regularly telling me I should be fapping to all these women but that's OK!"

well I just listened to the song, OP, and the reason is that its some fucking lame jap jamiroquai shit

this is true, best of the series and one of the best of all time

and yet Kida is barely acknowledged online, you can't look up a profile of their works or anything

It's always those one-off composers who make the most interesting stuff. I'd hope that he actually has some more works out there, but I haven't been able to find shit.

The King's Field soundtrack is also pretty interesting if you've never heard it before. It's a bit like dungeon synth.

always wanted to play a King's Field game but I've been waiting to find a physical copy which at this point seems unlikely to ever happen

song is trash
