    Who is the music composer of Heavensward?

    Heavensward features a lot of nice music, but who actually composed it? It was hyped Nobuo Uematsu will return for expansion, but I've never seen any references about him creating anything other than the main theme 'Dragonsong' (which is nice but much less loved than ARR main theme 'Answers'), and he's listed only in that role in titles.
    Does that mean all the fine music of Heavensward including Ishgard, field and primal themes were actually composed by sound director Masayoshi Soken? Give credit where credit is due!

    From the get go they said that uematsu would come back for the MAIN THEME, the rest of the ost is Soken's work as usual.
    Everything has been credited properly, you just misunderstood the announcement.

    Nobuo Uematsu is listed everywhere ONLY as main theme creator. Why would they do it if he has composed all other tracks?

    Nobuo Uematsu of course! The God of video game music. I believe his songs will go down in history as classical songs 100+ years from now, much like how we have Beethoven, Mozart, etc. I already saw some youtube videos with classical music back to back and they throw in one of his FF8 songs in the mix as well under classical music.

    There's a mix of Soken's music and Uematsu in there, a number of the new songs were variations on Dragonsong too, not to mention the 1.0 classics.

    We all know who is Uematsu, thank you. But for Heavensward he's a 'guest' composer who did only the main theme.
