10 tracks is to low for the high price it'd cost ta get it so hopefully there's abit more then that!

It was originally only going to be 10 tracks, but Mitsuda increased it to 14.

 

[Tabris]

ADD TAKAHASHI AND MAKE A GAME INSTEAD!!

 

[hsukardi]

GOOD FUCKING TITS!! February confirmed???

I am going to die from this orgasm

 

[B.K.]

ADD TAKAHASHI AND MAKE A GAME INSTEAD!!

Get Takahashi and the original team back to do a PSP remake of Xenogears, like Tactics Ogre!

 

[hsukardi]

Good god I still cannot believe this is coming true!!!!

I've waited so long for Chrono Cross arranged but Xenogears Orchestral is FINE!!!

 

[Tabris]

I'd be fine with Xenogears Episode VI too.

Yes, I'm sure Nintendo would love their employees to make PSP games. Definitely.

If he leaves Monolithsoft for a while and goes back to Square Enix, he won't be a Nintendo employee anymore. He can go crawling back to Square Enix like Matsuno.

So who's going to actually make the game if he leaves Monolithsoft?

 

[hsukardi]

Honestly the good old JRPG days are long gone.. Can't see anyone making them good shit anymore : (

Wonder why they commissioned a Xenogears Orchestral album out of the blue.
I am definitely going to import this.

Thats alil better I think. Depends on the price though.

Well theres no saying they couldn't remake it for DS/3DS! Its not like its a exclusive Sony game!

 

[Augemitbutter]

I'd import this day one if it were the full soundtrack rather than "best of / fan faves". But it is what it is so I'ma be in wait-an-see mode instead. 10 tracks is to low for the high price it'd cost ta get it so hopefully there's abit more then that! Someone tweeter SquareEnix an tell 'em to release this on the PSN store. Buying it with JP PS Bucks'd prolly be cheaper than getting it physically.

try to be at least 1% realistic in your posts. if you want every track to be re-arranged with a full orchestra, it would take multiple CDs of work. the OST was a 2 disc release, crafting multiple discs of re-arranged material for every track is nuts and unnecessary. and even then, you'd call it too expensive anyway.

 

[Demigod Mac]

Very excited about this. Xenogears is a phenomenal soundtrack: not a single piece of weak music on it.

It's my birthday:lol

 

[Augemitbutter]

so happy this is happening. never forget your gems.

 

[Dreamwriter]

...or an original game? ... some people :|

Well, it'd be damn nice if someone would do a remake that actually finished the game. This is a case where a remake could be a lot more than just updated graphics and sound, because, you know, that last disc that had a lot of just a person in a rocking chair telling the story...

 

[speedpop]

This might be the first arranged Square Enix album where I have zero issues with the selected track list. The only track that I can think of that should have possibly been included on this are Forest of the Black Moon and One Who Bares Fangs at God, and even then the former isn't really needed.

 

[Niks]

cant wait for this.

 

[ilikeme]

One Who Bares Fangs at God

so brilliant

but overall OMG HYPE, there is a chance I'll actually try to preorder and import this shit. I very rarely do that!

 

[Niks]

Forest of the Black Moon and One Who Bares Fangs at God

Yeah they are going to be missed.

 

[hsukardi]

The font on the album is cheesy as fuck, but I'm still looking forward to this A LOT

 

[Kuraine]

Holy crap, Ship of Regret and Sleep... That piece seriously gives me chills to this day. That, and The Beginning and the End. So that's why he brought back the Bulgarian choir

I am looking forward to this album more than pretty much anything.

 

[ULTROS!]

06. Shebat: The Wind is Calling
07. June Mermaid
08. Bonds of Sea and Fire
13. Small Two of Pieces
14. Faraway Promise

Yay.

Too bad there's no Omen.

 

[B.K.]

What will be a good site to import the album from when it's released?

 

[Augemitbutter]

yesasia, vgmworld, playasia, cdjapan.

ORCHESTRAL SAMPLE IS UP BUBBAS!!!!!!!

[bounchfx]

I'm sad at no daijaru, but then I realized it's perfect as is

edit: holy fuck the sample is dope

 

[hsukardi]

The arrangement isn't particularly creative but the instrumentation is awesome, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!!

 

[B.K.]

The songs don't need much arrangement. When they're arranged too much, you get a horrible album like Xenogears Light.

 

[SleazyC]

Get chills down my spine everytime I hear the sample. Looks like the CD is up on amazon.jp for preorder. So mine!

Does amazon.jp ship CDs to America? There are a few books I'd like to order from them, so if they'll ship CDs, I might order Myth from them.

 

[Duderz]

Still one of the best video game soundtracks ever. Damn, I can't wait for this.

It's too bad Mitsuda used up most of his talent on Chrono Trigger and Xenogears though. Nothing he's done since has measured up to those two.

I'd consider Chrono Cross just as good as either of those (Now, since then, I don't think anything he's done has measured up).

I don't know. I personally hated the Chrono Cross soundtrack. There were only three or four songs on it that I liked that weren't remixes of songs from Chrono Trigger.

Did anyone else see the thread title change to MYTH and was like, "Oh God, it was fake?! Nooooooo!"

No love for Xenosaga Ep 1?

Battling KOS-MOS
The Miracle
Zarathustra
Albedo

Kirite?

Nocturne
The Azure
The Market in Volfinor

The Xenosaga stuff may sound more "epic" than what we tend to associate with Mitsuda, but it's still chillingly good, and I would argue that his stuff in Kirite holds up equally well to his other work.

 

[anaron]

Ep.1's soundtrack is outstanding and so criminally underrated. Of course it was also horribly utilized in the game it was made for. :/

 

[Ledsen]

I'd say Xenogears has more good tracks than Chrono Cross, but the best tracks in CC (the intro and overworld tracks for example) are way better than the best tracks in XG.

The music in Soma Bringer was pretty great, very Xenogears-ish.
