XV won soundtrack of the year

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1334794&highlight=soundtrack+of+the+year

Does this mean they finally stopped considering it "unremarkable?" Memes aside, glad to see Shimomura getting the props she deserves. <3

Shimomura knocked it out of the fucking park, definitely my favorite of any of her work.

FFXV, Persona 5, and Xenoblade Chronicles' OSTs are easily GOAT of any JRPG music for me.

Also kudos to all the other composers involved in XV ost.

The neogaf polling is what I expected the Gamefaqs GOTY list to look like. I'm surprised Pokemon is so low, however. Overtwatch is right were I expected it to be.

I've always loved Shimomura's original KH work, but it always felt like half of those soundtracks were made up of Disney movie covers... I love how XV takes full advantage of the battle, character, and event themes where she really shines. There's a few really awesome non-Shimomura battle themes that still integrate some of her themes, too.

Quite the pleasant surprise.

Well I guess it just goes to show that the vocal minority are indeed just that.

Thought i was finished with discovering awards? Think again.

@Nova the achivement hunter®.

Counted the majority of the list that had FFXV win in multiple various sites, putting it in one of the top 10/20+ best/THE best 2016 title + votes from polls.

Over XV+

Wish there was a dislike button on this site.

You can contact Alex and ask him to add one.

Your karma\likes would've been already in negative values if there was dislike button. Beware of your desires.

Please remain butthurt. It's very funny to watch you be so upset over this game.

Dat savage burn is savage

Well Tabata said it's going to happen if it's not a simple port, now whether that means gameplay will be different in more similar to Nomura's concept like the Leviathan fight, maybe a more advanced titan fight where you fight the entire body, or stuff that had to be dropped on consoles. Thing is yeah it will be at the expense of console owners, but honestly they themselves know this, they know the PC is superior, they know that PC is the better option, and honestly it makes sense if you want more people to double dip, if you have exclusive PC features that aren't possible on consoles.

That's how I interpreted it when I read the translations in the articles you linked.

If they do this, there most definitely will be a large number of people who will double dip.

I already made up my mind I was gonna buy the PC version regardless so it's not an issue for me.

However the rage will be real.

My question is, why would people be angry? Not trying to be a smartass, since I'm genuinely pondering.

They didn't plan on getting the PC version at all but were "forced" to because they want to experience the new content?

Or they don't like that they had to play an "inferior" version on console initially?

For me personally, if the team plan on taking full advantage of the PC specs to make the game much better than the console version, I'm alright with that.

I think it's exciting to look forward to something new, yet familiar, at the same time. It's more rewarding than a direct port (but with obvious visual upgrades of course)

I love consoles but it's pretty well known that they are very restrictive in allowing developers to add as much content as they originally intended.

That´s why native 4K 120+FPS and bazillon more graphical features exist for consumers to double dip, I´m seriously asking where do you get the impression that they will add gameplay exclusive elements to the PC?
