Square Enix has announced on their official music blog that Lightning Returns will be having remixes for its soundtrack. To compose few remixes, they have already hired a Japanese band, Language. It's still unknown will there be more bands/artists to remix songs for the soundtrack but it's possible.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
Chocobo remix 2.0...
At least we can be thankful of that. The XIII Saga has an amazing soundtrack.
agreed .soundtrack was definitly upto ff standards(the old ones)
kool I hope they include the OST in XIII-3 as well.
As much as I like Nobuo Uematsu's music contribution to Final Fantasy series, I think there are other people who should also show their musical talents in the series, like Masashi Hamauzu or Yoko Shimomura. I like his BGM compositions for Final Fantasy X, XIII and XIII-2, since they are well-composed and memorable to my ears. Unfortunately, his composition for FFXIII's Japanese theme song is weak, with a singer whose voice that I dislike for being unmemorable. When it comes to vocal songs, I feel that Nobuo Uematsu is way better in doing vocal songs by hiring the appropriate singers for the song, such as Faye Wong and Angela Aki.
Yoko Shimomura's works are stellar, especially her work 'Somnus' for Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearts games.
With that being said, I also feel that Square Enix should have employed an all-star composers team for the FFXIII games, with Masashi Hamauzu, Nobuo Uematsu, and Yoko Shimomura. Three different composers, three different musical styles. Not only that will make fans happy, that will also clearly shows that there is a variety of musical styles for players to embrace and enjoy. A good example is Final Fantasy X's soundtrack, with three different composers.
People's musical tastes should not be insulted, as not everyone shares the same likes and dislikes. If you like the music, fine. If you dislike the music, don't go and insult someone else's liking for that particular music.
