    The music was good in BDO, it has always puzzled me how only Final Fantasy gets featured in what I think of as Classic Charts. They seem to have heard of FF and nothing else! Game awards take note but presumably "games" are not classical enough for a classical stations own awards or even just play lists. It may well show just how passionate the FF fans are for voting.

    I'm interested in the concept of music in video games, very generally. It seems very interdisciplinary, as was hinted at in the interview. I'm told music can take a lot of storage, so I'm sure it's also a balancing act between 'how much' and 'what type' for any given title.

    Don't forget the voice acting which may take up just as much space, I would say gaming music is more interdisciplinary than any other type. Film music for example is far more left to the composer with the director just commenting.
