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

[Chuq]

I love musicals. If you, Mr Soken, were given chance to create that type of music for FFXIV, would you want to do it? Maybe it could be in a side quest, or a promotional music video...

[MarthJassy]

Are you able to pull music from other SE games like The World Ends With You, Tales of Mana, or Chrono Trigger, if you are able too, what games would you like to pull from?

[Stormfur]

Which piece that you've written for FFXIV has been your most challenging?

[Chuq]

Mr Soken, do you usually have enough time to compose and edit the music as much as you want, or do you sometimes end up having to rush to completion or even scrap planned tracks?

[Stormfur]

What information do you have before you begin to compose a piece? Do the developers say something like "we are going to try a ______ theme" and then you just compose around that or do they provide you with more specifics?

[Ruenis]

Are there any chance for SE to sell FFXIV ost in cd format instead of BD ? I think it would be cheaper and allow me to play the music in my car's cd player.
