===On composition sections - What to include?=== | |||
{{Xion4ever|time=17:37, 16 June 2020 (UTC)|text=Since we're going to have even more music articles to mess with in the future *cough* Melody of Memories *cough* I'm revisiting the music articles/reopening this thread. As I mentioned in our Discord server, I forget when exactly we discussed it, but I recall us wanting to trim the composition sections? Something along the lines of determining what was truly noteworthy to have in the article. | {{Xion4ever|time=17:37, 16 June 2020 (UTC)|text=Since we're going to have even more music articles to mess with in the future *cough* Melody of Memories *cough* I'm revisiting the music articles/reopening this thread.

{{TheSilentHero|time=17:44, 16 June 2020 (UTC)|text=Maybe we could only cover length, tempo, and instruments used, without going into full detail of what plays when. That way we'd still have some content on these pages, but it shouldn't take too long to add. (I think. I don't know how you figure out something like tempo.)}} | {{TheSilentHero|time=17:44, 16 June 2020 (UTC)|text=Maybe we could only cover length, tempo, and instruments used, without going into full detail of what plays when.

{{Xion4ever|time=18:44, 16 June 2020 (UTC)|text=I agree that length, tempo, and instruments used should at least be the bare minimum we cover. I get the argument on the composition section length though. I'm split because as a music person, I think it's cool to know what all is happening in a piece. However, to a non-music person, it might just seem like a bunch of irrelevant nonsense. Going further, for the music pages I've created, I've done my best to check tempos with a metronome, including any fluctuations due to tempo changes/different versions between different games/etc, and checking with official sheet music where available (Example: the piano collections). That said, a lot of the more descriptive stuff ["fluff"] can be highly subjective...which alone might warrant not using because it's too opinionated/interpretive. Even certain instruments may seem opinionated depending on the person- more rare of an occasion, but it is possible. I recall TNE and I discussing a piece that we felt had two different instruments.}} | {{Xion4ever|time=18:44, 16 June 2020 (UTC)|text=I agree that length, tempo, and instruments used should at least be the bare minimum we cover.

===On game appearance order - Chronological or Release Order?=== | |||
{{Xion4ever|time=20:42, 22 June 2020 (UTC)|text=Hero posed this question online earlier: <big>'''''"Shouldn't the game sections be in release order?"'''''</big> | |||
There is no mention of this in the previous forums or in the music section of our Manual of Style. (At least, none that I have uncovered.) Seeing as I how I created most of the individual track articles, my only reasoning on their current flow- which majority follows chronological- is that it was established once on an article years ago and we never questioned the order since. | |||
I'm down for whatever we decide. I can see pros and cons to both ways. | |||
For chronological, thinking of the music articles as an extension of the gameplay...So, like [[Aero]], an ability, or [[Traverse Town|setting/area of a world]]. Chronological helps keep the continuity/set the scene or add a bit of depth. To not have it in chronological order is like zig-zagging across the series. | |||
For release order, it helps explain why the HD remakes have better recordings (yay orchestras by ''actual'' orchestras!) and sometimes variations or additions in actual music.}} | |||
