More downgrades...(Pandaemonium Savage spoilers)

I'm thankful that Soken survived cancer, myself.

I understand Soken has cancer, but he is not the only music composer in Japan.

I never said i wasn’t. They don’t have any other music people? That’s irresponsibility on them in that case and especially unfair that all of that is put on one man.Also what does he have to do with voice acting?

This forum can't differentiate between company and people. The company is responsible for the game and people are responsible for their individual jobs. They use it as a defence for any problems. Decent people work for companies that make bad decisions. Or good depending on where you think the buck stops I guess.

I mean he's the one producing the bops for us, and most of the best ones are his.

But then I also don't think we need new music for every single phase of a boss fight, it works great for some but it is absolutely not necessary for all of them and in no way reduces the quality of the game in any shape or form. More does not mean better.

Please understand and look forward to it.

I think Soken's health is a reason for him to take on a lesser workload, I doubt that many would contest that.

On the other hand, why couldn't they allow or hire someone else to make up for the work that Soken was not able to do? Someone like Nobuo Uematsu is more than qualified to make up a few tracks for this game. SE has other composers they could have used to make up the difference.

Quite frankly, I doubt they felt the need to. While a few people may get upset, and even fewer would post here, those that do post here, will get drown out by the white knights shrilling for the company above all else.

It kind of does mean better when we’ve already been losing out on content lately between the constant gear reusing and downgrade of things but okay. Again, why don’t they have other people to do it? Why is all music on one person? That’s bad company form. As of this tier we have 3 fights that are the same song and the last fight is a remix of the first 3 songs….

I literally don't see why having a remix is that important. This game goes above and beyond for music without remixing songs on top of it. More does not mean better.

More does not mean better.

Neither does less, and we seem to be getting less and less lately.

S-E has a formula they've stuck to very rigidly, rarely if ever going above that formula but often going below. Savage is one of the few things to actually DO regularly in this game and many people will be listening to this music and seeing this fight over and over. Why not get somebody to step in and do the second phase music if Soken wasn't able to? S-E has a number of good composers to choose from.

Just because something is a non-issue for a particular individual it does not mean that it is not a valid concern for somebody else.

People play this game for all sorts of different reasons. Usually more than one. As it happens, the music is a pretty major draw for many.
