Sugiyama owns the copyright of Dragon Quest music. There's a reason that his name is there along Square Enix, Armor Project (Yuji Horii) and Bird Studio (Akira Toriyama). He's part of the project and only will go out on his own, not on SE demand.
Damn that sucks. Wasn't entirely sure of the situation.

He's also a council member for JASRAC, the biggest copyright administration in Japan.

He's a really huge name and in powerful positions which genuinely sucks.

What. I really had no idea about this. This makes it even worse.

Asshole, fuck Dragon Quest

Fuck Sugiyama, not DQ. The franchise will continue for decades without him when he dies from age. Unlike him, the other DQ staff don't have such things (at least from what we know, of course) and the franchise itself don't have this problem either.

Dragon Quest composer Koichi Sugiyama isn't happy just being a war crime denier OR anti LGBT, he also loves making terrible compositions that actively detract from the game experience too!

I've never heard anything positive about him, so I can't say I'm surprised.

A shame Square apparently can't just fire him, he brings nothing of worth.

I'm not surprised he's happy at LGBT people killing themselves. People who defend Japan's wartime actions tend to be all-around assholes.

He deliberately sabotages his own games with Mansion Basement-tier MIDI to get more concert money.

This person wants to mock LGBT people? Don't be surprised if I make his obituary thread here into a roast thread.

I think it's possible to think this guy is a disgusting piece of shit, but also not explicitly say "I wish for his death". Like, that's possible.

If it makes you feel better I'm okay with him dying peacefully of old age surrounded by his family so long as his horrible viewpoints die with him.

This motherfucker along with his other rich conservative right wing friends in Japan form a propaganda group that takes out ads like this to denounce the "unfair" historical accounts of Japan's participation in World War 2.

What's that?!! I can't hear you over the sound of that MIDI scratching my eardrums!

I'm talking about the orchestral versions but it's not like even the MIDI are that bad either for me. Either way, a new composer certainly will pick up the feel of the franchise someday and make it great without any of those problems.

You know you can just report something if you think it's violating a rule we have here instead of posting "Yikes" repeatedly.

in before people quote this with "yikes." Don't derail this thread further, please.

Yeah, he's a terrible person, but looking forward to his death like that is a bit much. Yikes indeed.

I disagree with his viewpoints vehemently too, but is there really a need to say "I hope he dies" and "Can't wait until he dies, nearly there" like the first few posts here have..?

Definitely. I couldn't imagine actively wishing for something on someone, even if they're a shitty person.

Is it weird that I feel more uncomfortable with people boycotting DQ11 than people wishing for his death?

I hope his inevitable successor doesn't steal the main theme song from The Elder Scrolls and use it at the climax to the next Dragon Quest game.

Are we really surprised that an 87-year old man isn't for gay rights? Like, it's not that rare in that age group.

EDIT: Wishing for someone's death makes you just as bad.

He is like any Japanese geezer, of course he is going to be anti-LGBT and war crime denier. I think deep down he also has a hatred towards Western world because he witnessed Uncle Sam kick their asses back in WW2. Square Enix won't do anything to punish him.

Awful composer and an even worse person. When the cunt finally leaves this mortal coil and the series gets a new composer I will give Dragon Quest another chance but not a moment sooner.

There's not being "for gay rights", and then there's mocking LGBT people for committing suicide.

Fuck out of here with that Boogie2988-ass "both sides" edit.

who can replace him?
Any good composer? Like... His music is not that unique and S-E have plenty of talented composers at their disposal.

I wonder, does he have the rights to the most iconic pieces of DQ music? Because that is the only reason I can see for them not sending him to kick rocks and finance more propaganda.
