Is the Shadowbringers theme song not getting released this time?

[RaijinkenXIII]

I know Susan Calloway isn't on board for this one but the theme song was still very good and I was hoping SE would have uploaded it to youtube as they did for the previous expansions. What's up with that?

There is still a month to go. They often release it really close to the date.

[Enkidoh]

To be really honest, I'm not even expecting there to be an actual theme song this time around sadly, as Nobuo Uematsu who composed the earlier ones has taken indefinete leave and ceased all work for medical reasons (I assume Masayoshi Soken probably would take on that task, but given how close we are to launch and no theme song trailer has yet been released, I doubt it actually - as main sound director Soken would be more worried about making sure the actual BGM is ready instead and probably doesn't have time to compose a theme song).

We'll see either way (maybe SE has something planned for E3).

There is a theme..its the one we hear in the trailer

At this point the E3 LL on the 14th is probably the best bet for a main theme song trailer. There will definitely be a theme song because we've already heard parts of it in the cinematic trailer. They usually release it a month in advance, so this one is off schedule. I'm guessing the crunch for ShB is much worse compared to the previous expansions, or maybe there's some other reason they want to keep the song under wraps? Who knows. I'm sure there will be one, but it does seem delayed this time around.

it's all Soken this time around so he's prob too busy

[Averax]

They usually do it like a month before early access, so i'm not sure what the holdup is.

I'm not gonna lie, Susan was great in answers and dragonsong, but i'm kind of tired of her now.

It's hard to say. I can't imagine them not releasing something before launch. People have to realize, too, that the Benchmark was also delayed a bit. They probably have a lot on their plates right now. As far as Susan Calloway...I could listen to her sing all day, all week, all year even. She has an amazing voice. I might go as far as saying that it is heavenly. But I'm not opposed to changing things up like they did with Shadowbringers. And I love what they created.

Well they kinda had to change singers I guess? The songs so far were all from Hydaelyns perspective so it made sense but iirc this time around it's Zodiark who's doing the singing so we needed something different.

Why would it be from Zodiark's perspective? We're not working for Zodiark.
