Underrated JRPGs With Better Music Than Persona 5, Ranked

While gameplay has taken precedence in determining whether a game is "good" or "bad," a facet that I find heavily determines my enjoyment of a game is its music. A proper soundtrack is key to immersion, building a world from the ground up. Encounters feel more tangible and high-stakes, while intense moments with characters are amplified. JRPGs in particular have a way of cultivating music that speaks to players, making a world of pixels reality with carefully thought-out tracks scattered throughout. While a smattering of titles out there feature impressive toe-tapping tracks,Persona 5 seems to be the king of them all, with music composed by Shoji Meguro, a master of his craft.
