Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XLII! (Sound Director Soken)

[Chevronone]

Is Ishgard housing still planned? I really like medieval aesthetics.

Ya, im sure the sound designer will get right on that. -_-

...did you even read the post? Lol

Oh no, I did misread. My glasses recently broke, and I have the flu. My bad. I’ll post a sound question.

Will we ever get Morin Khuurs for bard performances?

When can we expect the Stormblood OST to be available please?

[MuseTraveller]

Mr Soken, I love the soft piano night themes in Stormblood especially The Lochs!
Which one of them was most enjoyable to write?

Is it possible that we can change audio output without restarting the game?

I really like fights with voice over actors. I was really sad to see the kefka cutscene without one when I had to read what he says instead, then a few days later I play the new primal byakko extreme with a voiceactor... A giggling evil voice like in the trailer would have been so awesome for this raidtier end.

Could more raidstyle fights besides primals have voice acting if you drop german and french voiceactor in future fights and just stay with the english and japanese ones?

This might not qualify as a real question, but since I just bought the scroll for the orchestrion and re-discovered this beautiful, beautiful piece of music: How dare you compose something so wonderful like "Fragments of Forever"?!
I almost started to cry listening to it yesterday and mainly wanted to say "Thanks!/Domo Arigato!" here!

It does remind me a bit of a piece from FFX, but I cant pinpoint which one - so maybe as a real question: How often do you take inspiration from earlier FF-games (or other games)? Beside the obvious re-arrangments for things like Sigma etc. when its clear that the whole raid is a reference.

May we have Midgarsormr's theme, from when your first meet him as the final boss in The Keeper of the Lake dungeon, play for the Midgarsormr mount? I think it would give a more epic and intense feeling to riding Midgarsormr.

Will Eorzea's playable races get a music theme one day? (idea!)
