What about the player character [having a theme]?

Geoff ZanelliComposer, Squadron 42

Well, the player character, yes. And I'll tell you something, that's actually the trickiest thing to me about video game music as opposed to film music. In film music, you write to a character. In this game, the player is the character, right? And each of them is going to have a different experience in it. Actually, that kind of goes back to the most difficult hurdle or most difficult obstacle in the game: how do I get into the player's head and account for different players, different moments, different events. But that's part of what I would call the overarching Squadron 42 music, actually, is the player's theme, if you want to think of it that way.
