A Musical Fantasy
Sound effects, voice acting, and most importantly, a musical score; these are the key components of a game’s audio fidelity. All of these elements must combine well to create the auditory portion of a game and failing to do so successfully can make or break certain titles. Personally, it’s the soundtrack, or musical score, that carries the emotion of a game and allows it to surface, through a cacophony of highs and lows, wailing riffs or orchestral melodies. A game that has a great score is well on it’s way to getting a great score, so to speak.
Today though, I’m here to discuss one standout series in terms of emotional soundtracks; Final Fantasy.
