Not talking about less than macro scales so don’t get pedantic about some exception. The early days were limited by silicon tech and memory storage, but those don’t exist any more. So why is it that game music and pop cultural music have not seemingly cross pollinated? Micro genres? Other?

    Listen to Final Fantasy XIV’s music, especially Shadowbringers and Endwalker. That game is a musical with audience participation. Some songs were also performed by a real band of the actual developers, The Primals, and later included in the game.

    Mild spoilers (hide the video and you’ll be fine):

    • Footfalls
    • On blade’s edge
    • Close in the distance
    • Of countless stars
    • Ultima (Primals version)
    • In the balance
    • Dedicated to moonligh
    • Metal: Brute Justice Mode (both in-game and Primals)
    • Locus
    • eScape

    Spoilers (major plot points in video or lyrics):

    • Who brings shadow
    • To the edge
    • Athena, the tireless one
    • Tomorrow and tomorrow (more a cutscene song, but it’s amazing)
