To stop Del Murder from bitching about the lack of threads in this sub-froum, I have thought of an interesting thread idea.
If for some odd reason a "real band" had to compose a FF soundtrack, who do you think would be a good choise?
BUT WAIT! BEFORE YOU CHOOSE PLEASE CONSIDER THIS:
I don't want to hear some bland answers like, "OMG mY Chemicol Romancece should do ti cuz thye are so dark and emotionla driven! They would totalie do it rite!"
NO.
And I certianly don't want to hear any crap about how Linkin' Park, or whatever overplayed band would be a good choise because rabid fans are somehow throughly convinced that 1,000 videos to Final Fantasy PlayStation era game FMVs synched to "My December" is cool. Seriously put some thought into this.
At the risk of sounding insane myself, I would have to say Nine Inch Nails. For those of you who know me, I am not saying this just because they are my favorite band. And yes, I know a lot of Nine Inch Nails music could work in darker games like Silent Hill. However, as most NIN fans would tell you, Trent Reznor is one hell of a piano player (I am not sure how to spell the word that sounds like "penis" and I am too lazy to look it up--shut up). Once again, I know most of the piano NIN tracks sound moody, ambient, and generally deperessing, but I really think Trent would have the ability to shift gears and make one hell of an FF track. It wouldn't be the first time that he worked on a video game soundtrack, either (see: Quake).
Your turn.
