VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Over the last several weeks we've been counting down the top 50 best video game composers of all time, and now finally there are just five left to reveal. To convey how big the difference was between these five composers and everyone else during the voting, the top 5 got more points than the other 86 composers combined. However, the top 5 itself was actually very closely contested, with #5 and #4 being separated by just three points, for example."
Unless they are planning to do something with all that talent, and great IPs what's the point? Square is on the same path as Capcom by not listening to what their fans want.
