How are the police around there? Good, bad, ugly, corrupt?

This seems more propaganda and hype than journalism

That's 95% of all AMAs, you better get used to it. People don't come here to be impartial about their product.

You should also consider that journalist usually sign an NDA, he might not be allowed to answer some of these questions.

G'day, Frank, long time fan.

Back in the SNES/N64 days composers didn't have a lot to work with so they had to express themselves with less. I think this is the reason most classic VGM pieces come from that time period.

From my own experience I have noticed that many modern games don't bother with unique soundtracks and only use the generic orchestrals or metal music we have heard a thousand times before.

Of course exceptions exist. (An End Once and For All, Halo Theme, A Proper Story from Bastion, Ezio's Family from Assassin's Creed)

But these are exceptions. Not the rule.

I guess the question I'm trying to convey here is that, do you think the overall quality of soundtracks has gone down over time?

Fred and Smosh hit a million before him, right? Those were weird days.

Which is your favourite Kingdom Hearts song? I know you've done a boatload of Shimomura covers.

And thanks for introducing me to Nodame Cantabile!
