Your submission has been rejected.

Type: new album
Reason: I don't think a DVD of the musical really fits with what we catalog here. It would be similar to having an entry for the DVD of the final fantasy movie. We do have some entries for video, but those are mostly live concerts or music videos.

If you feel the rejection is in error, please post further information or evidence here.

I don't think it is the same case. A musical is music by itself, a movie is a movie, and this is a musical about a video game.

It's a bit weird that you can include albums that have nothing to do with video games (Artist Works), or even Radio Drama DVDs like "VOICE ACTORS LIVE DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY SECRETUM" without any music, but albums of musicals about video games have no place in Video Game Music Database.

But if those are the rules, I have no choice but to comply them.

It is slightly grey. A musical is more than just music. It is also live action visual storytelling. If they released a soundtrack, we would add the soundtrack, and then add a product page for the musical. It is weird for something to be both a product and an album.

FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS THE MUSICAL does have a place here, but that place is a product page.

As I said before, for me the weird thing is that a musical product of a videogame as a musical does not have place in the largest musical database about videogames, but non-musical products about a videogame do.

Why a group of seiyus voice-acting a character has place here, but the same seiyus singing on a stage musical themes of the game do not have place? I understand about the grey zone about musicals themselves, because if you open that door, tons of non videogame related products would enter, but I find it hard to understand that videogame music products don't have place here.
