Video Game Music

Roto13 · 11-23-2007, 07:48 AM

This forum is kind of pointless, isn't it? It doesn't get much attention, but because it exists we're not allowed to talk about video game music in the gaming forum. Wouldn't it be just as well to just make it only the Spirits Within forum? Better yet, maybe do away with the Spirits Within forum altogether and have a Final Fantasy Movie/Anime forum (or Squenix Anime Forum if you want to include stuff like the Chrono Trigger OVA) for Final Fantasy Unlimited, Spirits Within, Advent Children, etc.. I always thought separating video game music from everything else to do with video games was kind of weird anyway. :P

Don't you people dare touch my favourite forum

Well, why wouldn't video game music go in The Lounge, then, if that is where people talk about music?

the video game music forum is more deserving of having its own forum than some final fantasy games, many would agree! (although not on which particular games)

The music itself gets more attention than The Spirits Within does. I don't see why it's a problem just to check that forum for any posts relating to music.

My problem is that it restricts music talk to one forum, and keeps that forum away from talking about everything else. Call me crazy, but I don't believe you can isolate music that way. When I talk about the music, I like to discuss how it ties in with the rest of the game, how it works with the plot, the emotional drive it adds to certain points in the game, and the way it accents character development in a game's story. Similarly, when talking about the story I enjoy discussing points where the music ties in well, and anytime I do either of these things I'm always nervous that I'm breaking the rules. I wouldn't want the forum deleted, but I would like to know that there is some flexibility in musical discussion outside of the forum, and a little flexibility of game discussion in the forum, as long as the music is the focus.
