Uematsu went to shit after FFX. Koji Kondo may not do much composing nowadays but when he does it's still fantastic.

[Parker Price]

Uemtasu has barely been involved in anything solely since FF9, Kondo makes consistently good tracks but I can't name a single stand out like I can almost 20 with Uematsu

Koichi Sugiyama is so good he refuses to die or quit. The man will live forever.

Uematsu has been the sole composer for a lot of stuff since FF9. He did Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Last Story, and he's made a couple of tracks for Terra Battle and FFXIV. I personally found all of them to have pretty boring soundtracks. Also, how can you not think of a single stand out track from Kondo?

You're probably baiting but I think he made some pretty good tracks for XCX barring the obvious bad ones.

Here's an underdog I've always enjoyed to listen.

Mikhail Anatolyevich Kostylev AKA Lind Erebros is Russian composer who has composed music for The King's Bounty franchise since 2008. He's also got a few albums worth of music based on Tolkien's Silmarillion.

nice mickey ears

[Brody Mitchell]

DQXI's music has been rather disappointing to me, honestly, and it's probably because I liked most of his stuff very much otherwise. Some of the new pieces are OK but others aren't, and when old pieces are revived it's almost as if it came from a different person. I'm starting to think he peaked with VII.

Yuzo Koshiro
At least one of the best
