New music ~ Uematsu?

[Darkhaund]

Well guys.. flame me but... I do like Uematsuś style

Correct me if I am wrong but HE DID NOT make the score in FF13-series right?
The music in 13 (at leat in my point of view) sucks

Games like Lost Odyssey and the last story, have AMAZING music done by him.

I do think that FF lost some of the "final fantasy" wihout him

[Jennestia]

He helped with the music in XIII line -- XIII's music was pretty damn great, especially XIII-2, but I personally found Mizuta and Ito the better male composers Square has had.

[Ingolf]

I'm pretty happy with Mizuta doing XIV's music. He did an amazing job with XI.

[Darkhaund]

Don tell me that FFXIś music isnt great?
Ther are MANY amazing tracks on that game... done by him correct?

I am sorry and but I SIMPLY cant stand XIII music.
too comercial....

maybe i am biased by how horrible the game is.
Can you tell me wich tracks i should listen to?

i got hte CE so i got the soukdtrack of XIII-2

[Ingolf]

XIII-2's music was done by Mizuta. I wasn't a really big fan of XIII's soundtrack even though it was one of the most redeeming qualities presented by that mess.

[Darkhaund]

yeah... FFXIII and FFXIII-2 are GARBAGE Imo... ANYONE with me on this?

[Orophin]

I think the new music will mostly be composed by Soken and the current sound team. They've been doing a good job IMO since the reshuffling of the dev team. I like Uematsu's music but I don't know how involved he's going to get with FFXIV going forward.

[Zezlar]

Naoshi Mizuta is on the 2.0 sound team. I have high hopes

[Mug]

Oh, it's such a cliché to say that FFXIII sucks. I bet half the people who say that, haven't even played it. I personally found it to be a great game.

As far as FFXIV music goes, I think that the original soundtrack was fine for the most part, but it's clear to me that Uematsu had too little to work with when he made it. My main problem is that most tracks are way too short, especially the field themes. It's interesting that many of the battle themes are long tracks, with several movements, when they're usally only on for ten seconds since normal battle are so short.

[Starlord]

You must have misread. They said that they would be taking out a few tracks, not that only a few tracks would remain. Big difference.

The BGM for Gold Saucer was memorable, Crystal Tower as well, will FF related content have reappearance of those BGM?
Y: Of course. Not much of current BGM will be left. We are aiming for music where old fans can feel that this is FF by arranging the crystal theme or arranging the level up music. We just put in the final Neil Van Darnus battle and for that there is an opera which we received comments on the forum that it reminded them of Sephiroth. That music is really popular on the forums and we also released a lyrics in Latin. This is the FF like feel so I am particular with the musics.
