Video Game Music composers

I would say that Final Fantasy 6 had some tracks which were pretty much the best but to say that all of it was the best is pushing it a bit. Some of the tracks after a while downright pissed me off.
But I loved FFVI for what it was. The main appeal of Dissidia is the hardcore-ification that's happening for characters from I-VI, and to a lesser extent, VIII and IX. The Dissidia tracks sound bloody awesome from what I've heard so far.

I think the switch to Masashi Hamauzu and Takeharu Ishimoto as the mainstream FF composers is a fairly good choice. Together they pretty much cover the range of styles and moods that Uematsu was able to bring to the games. Both deliver hard-hitting tracks that have plenty of dynamism, something which Uematsu lacked in a few tracks over the years. My favourite tracks are "Arms of Shinra" from FFVII DoC and "Last Order" from the FFVII OVA.

Martin (Marty) O'Donnel Halo trilogy set the bar for game music of the 21st century. Pure genius.

Latte:
Shoji Meguro is pretty neat.  Works for Atlus and pretty much does the Shin MegaTen serieses.  Lots of interesting little genre mash-ups in those.

Sorta sucks that after the first one, most of his work was just derivative of earlier songs. There were some promising themes that were just done to death.

Light Engine:
Someone should probably mention Frank Klepacki
