Quick Takes Meets Ludomusicology

Today, Musicology Now’s “Quick Takes” series explores the sonic world of gaming with a series of four essays on the role-playing video game, Final Fantasy XII.  The series opens with today’s post by Ryan Thompson, with additional essays by Stefan Greenfield-Casas, Kate Mancey, and Lee Hartman following over the next week.  We hope readers enjoy Musicology Now’s expansion of discussions of music and the moving image to include video games, the scores that accompany them, and the role of sound in players’ experience.
