To be somewhat fair Square is involved in the music industry, they want to sell their songs and when one of the features in Smash is that you can listen to music anywhere it could make people uninterested in buying their music.

[@alicemanagelo1149]

@@christianlopez707 *their

[@Gabo2oo]

@@christianlopez707 Adding to that is that the composer for Dragon Quest is very resctrictive with his music. He apparently doesn't allow the fully orchestated versions to be heard overseas (which may or may not be related to his openly xenophobic ideologies), so they're replaced by MIDI recreations in games like Smash. He's also a key member of the JASRAC, which is a very restrictive copyright system in Japan. They're the reason anime songs can't be dubbed nowadays. They charge schools for playing protected music (even for educative purposes), heck they've even hired spies to disguise as music students and catch the teachers using copyrighted music in order to sue them.

[@christianlopez707]

@@Gabo2oo Damm I knew about the composer being a massive jerk but I didn't think things where THAT bad. But anyway I don't think its just the West, if I'm not mistaken all the original releases of DQ games had midi soundtracks.

[@Gabo2oo]

@@christianlopez707 Yeah, after commenting I read further into it (plus I played the DQXI-S demo and turns out it's orchestated), and he's apparently just pretty inconsistent with it. Sometimes it's Japan-orchestated/West-MIDI, sometimes it's MIDI for both then orchesta for re-releases, sometimes it's all MIDI for spin-offs, etc. Perhaps it's just to sell double the OSTs.
