520 | 8 | _a'Music in the Role-Playing Game' offers the first scholarly approach focusing on music in the broad class of video games known as role-playing games, or RPGs. Known for their narrative sophistication and long playtimes, RPGs have long been celebrated by players for the quality of their cinematic musical scores, which have taken on a life of their own, drawing large audiences to live orchestral performances. The chapters in this volume address the role of music in popular RPGs such as 'Final Fantasy' and 'World of Warcraft', delving into how music interacts with the gaming environment to shape players' perceptions and engagement. | |
