koji kondo takes the crown for "game music" in my book, within the context of a game his music fits the musical genre the best. but uematsu's compositions better bridge the gap between the game and purely listening crowds.
i can play a lot of his stuff on the piano and am thinking of playing one for a recital here at the university. those music profs have probably never heard of him and would probably be thrown for a loop.
