Call me crazy but what would a game with a soundtrack composed by Meguro, Masafumi Takada and Akira Yamaoka be ? A game powered by God ?

Bizarre?

Who is Takada? I don't recognise the name.

 

[duckroll]

The composer isn't Meguro. It's the other guy who did Nocturne's soundtrack whose name escapes me atm.

Where did you hear this? The music so far is definitely Meguro sounding. They haven't formally announced the composer yet.

 

[DeliciousDoc]

The soundtrack for this game should be good.

 

[RPGCrazied]

When do you think will we get a gameplay video?

 

[THE Caffeinated]

FUCKING YES, IT'S NOT FIRST PERSON.

That's literally all I needed to know about this game, looks like i'm going to have to finally buy a 3DS.

I'd expect it to have more of a hook if it was Meguro.

Think No More Heroes/Killer7.

 

[Dantis]

Oooh, apparently Takada scored Fatal Frame 4, which had a really excellent soundtrack.

There's no way Meguro isn't doing some work for this, Tsuchiya being the sound director does not even confirm that he's composing for this since sound design is what he does for many Atlus games without composing much or anything at all.

Pretty much. I would be shocked if Meguro isn't the composer.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I don't think it's Meguro. This has more of a Tsuchiya vibe.

Same here, this trailer really spiked my interest beyond words. A new SMT main... damn

Weird. First thing I thought when hearing the music was: "this is really Meguro-like"

Really? It doesn't sound very Meguro to me at all. Like I said earlier, he normally has really strong, distinctive melodies in his music.

Yes, but like I said, Meguro is pretty good in switching styles. Where his Devil Summoner soundtracks are rather jazzy, and the Persona soundtracks more pop-like, his Strange Journey soundtrack is pretty different from everything else. And then you have Nocturne, which really fits in with this music imo. Especially this part.

He switches style, but his influences stay the same, particularly his rock and classical influences.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. To me though, it doesn't sound like Meguro. It's great music though.

INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS!!!

 

[The Elite]

I'm all over this when it releases.

 

[mihon]

Do they usually release the OST for Megaten games in the west?

I'm going to import as always. Japanese games OSTs are so worth it!

Meguro and Takada would be more than enough, I think Yamaoka while very good is overrated as a composer.

 

[StMeph]

THIS is what's going to pressure me into getting a 3DS, even though I still want to wait for the new revision...

Yep, I realised that I've heard his/her stuff in Fatal Frame 4:

Very cool, creepy music.

 

[lostinblue]

Yes, I love yamaoka, but he doesn't exactly have a varied proved spectrum.

He usually sticks to post-rock and ambience with some rock with vocals thrown in and or grunge overtones; needed to tackle some other genres and the like to build up his adaptability.

 

[Persona86]

Great music as expected.

 

[TurnipFritters]

What about Kaneko? Is he confirmed for this game?

The demon designs will absolutely be Kaneko, but there's some speculation that the characters might be by Masayuki Doi because of the shape/pose of the main character's silhouette.

 

[TheChaos]

Yamaoka has done plenty of other genres, including Trance, Electro, and 8-bit-ish Techno.

 

[Thoraxes]

I'll bet it's a team of composers.

Though, Meguro has been slowly working his way into some directing positions, iirc. At least with the ports anyways. Just because you hear his "Persona Style" so much doesn't mean that's all he can do. The dude is flexible as a composer.

You're right, it's probably the Atlus Sound Team.

And Meguro might be flexible, but like I said, he always has the same influences. All his music sounds very 'Meguro'.

*SQUEAL*

Boooo-urns Atlus

Oh stop it. Chastize where chastize is due. Praise where praise is due. And for this, PRAISE MARA!

You're right, it's probably the Atlus Sound Team.

He's always thrown people for a loop even with melodic tracks available.

Tsuchiya, as always, is welcome.

Thought this was the best place to bump this. Couldn't find anyone else really mentioning this.

The teaser site has completely changed with new music (btw, oh my God!) and a sillouette of the girl(?) from the trailer. Seems more and more like they are the main character.

Edit: Damn it, nevermind.

The song is indeed amazing, thanks for bumping the thread!
