You must pick one. All existing works of theirs are eliminated from history, and they also will no longer make new music.

I care the least about Yuzo's works and tbh Sonic and SOR are overrated soundtracks anyway.

Just looking at names I have very little idea what each worked on other than I think Uematsu is the FF guy?

Uematsu is FF. David's most famous stuff is DKC but he also did lots of other great soundtracks.

Koshiro, the other three have too much iconic music to erase.

I love Yuzo Koshiro's Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune soundtrack. Especially for those who like trance.

Oh and Mitsuda worked on lots of stuff, predominantly xenogears, xenosaga, and Xenoblade, but for me the deal breaker is Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter which is one of the best soundtracks in gaming history and I still listen to it today.

This is the worst poll of all time. I think Mistuda has affected me the least. Koshiro did Etrian Odyssey.

The only name I recognize is David Wise and I'm upset to see he has the most votes. He's a genius.
I'm not gonna vote yet because I don't know any of the other 3, but I'm also too lazy to Google them. Even if I do, I'm pretty sure there are none I'd hold in higher esteem than David Wise.

Thanks for telling me this! And I mean this legitimately. Other than Uematsu, I didn't recognize the names. Connecting the names to the music is fun, though.

Yeah, apologies for not listing the well known works in the OP. I know most of the hits have been mentioned, but to have them in one post here goes:

Uematsu: FF series
Mitsuda: Chrono series, Xenogears/Saga
Wise: DKC, Battletoads, most Rare games from the 80s-early 90s
Koshiro: Streets of Rage, Actraiser, some Castlevania entries

And many more. This list is by far not all encompassing and Im probably leaving out key and important works there.

Wise:

Koshiro: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuzo_Koshiro

Thanks for this. Sorry if I came off passive aggressive. I accept these are probably household names in gaming. I just admit I'm probably not somebody who gets into that enough to know who is responsible for some of the best gaming tunes.

Im not surprised, considering the other options I had here. But Wise is indeed amazing.

I personally picked Mitsuda for this. Hard choice for sure, and definitely would be a loss, but when taking into account the full portfolio across all the options I couldnt vote for the others. Wise is so much more to me even beyond DKC, honestly.

Not surprised Uematsu has the least votes. He truly is the king.

Turns out I've never played any games that feature the other composers apart from David Wise, but even though I've never played Final Fantasy or Chrono games, I still recognize some music from them and I appreciate the compositions a lot. So my vote goes to Koshiro.

I don't have much attachment to Mitsuda so him. Though I have liked the little bit of music he did I have heard.

Koshiro is my favorite VGM composer, and Uematsu and Wise are also too good

the other two are just mediocre video game composers

Koshiro. DKC2s music alone, if Wise worked on that, is enough to keep him safe, and ematsu and Mitsuda go without saying.

Mitsuda has worked on a ton of stuff.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasunori_Mitsuda
Notable ones are Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Xenoblade, some Super Smash Bros games, and probably some Im forgetting.
