Why do I say the future of promising 3DS titles dangles by a thread? Because the system has been in an uphill battle for sales, causing publishers to panic and pull the plug on titles or push projects back in a "wait and see" approach. When companies get a whiff of a dip, they tend to pull their funding, and that sort of thing usually dominoes. Granted, Nintendo's swift response in slashing the price drastically is a decisive measure to help stop that from happening, but the jury's still out.

Did you guys see the the short teaser trailer yet? It's on the official site.

The voice actress sounds familiar to me. And I love me some Sakuraba music. Yahoo!
Edit: Oh there's another thread for this. Heh, didn't see it.

His work on Golden Sun Dark Dawn was fantastic though. Truly a return to form.
Hopefully it wasn't a fluke.

For real.
The man gave us the Star Ocean 2 soundtrack. If that doesn't prove his worth nothing will.

Buh?! I fail to see how. It's easily the best soundtrack he's worked on since Baten Kaitos/Baten Kaitos Origins.

The main boss battle theme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bYbd2F7gzw&feature=related
Snowdrift Shrine? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpUferxMz_4&feature=related
Ayuthay? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZafUyCl1VY&feature=related
None of these stand out to you? Sure, there are a few stinkers in there (The Tuperang theme in particular is a big disappointment), but the majority of it is great and certainly at least up there with the original 2 GBA games (even if it doesn't quite reach their heights)
I don't see how you can say that the GSDD OST isn't a massive improvement over everything he's done since Baten Kaitos Origins (which I would consider to be largely crap - mostly because he's become overly derivative of himself and overworked)

Dark Dawn's OST was pretty bland, in my opinion.

I'm sorry, but the dude needs a break. How many soundtracks has he cranked out over the past couple of years? IMO, his music is the very definition of mediocrity right now.
So like I was saying before i accidently made a thread,
when i envision sakuraba making music, i envision him in a studio full of racks. each rack is labeled accordingly: "tension music," "battle music," "battle music 2," "icey place music", "song with guitar" etc.
when camelot, tales studio or whoever need music, he just dips his hand in one of those racks, picks out a song and ships it out. and then he goes back to his swivel chair to read emails.
seriously, the guy should just make music for tv shows where they only play like two songs an episode for a whole season. maybe a sitcom on fox or something

Not sure why after the announcement of the composer Sakuraba non-fans need to derail the thread when previously everyone mentioning the music piece previously on the website stated liking or even loving it and nobody really made the connection to him at that time.
Reposting the concentrated gameplay sections of the trailer from the other thread (as MP4) to get back on topic:

So to continue the speculation if you don't really control her and instead you play as some floating robot/head/magic thing then wouldn't this game be a lot like Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey? Basically a first person dungeon crawler but instead of having lots of monsters to command you have one teen girl?

Dunno what the deal with Sakuraba is, his music in the Baten Kaitos games is amazing, it was a huge surprise to me when it came to my knowledge that he was the composer because the music actually sounded inspired instead of his usual five tracks.Serenade said:

Are you kidding, or have you just not listened to some of his works outside of those? His work on Valkyrie Profile 2, Infinite Undiscovery and Eternal Sonata is outstanding, and far better than his Tales of 2.0 work in the Golden Sun series.
It's all about sound direction, i.e. what he is requested to do and how specific these requests are. For Camelot games its sound director Masaaki Uno only gives direction for the game's overall style while he leaves the rest up to Sakuraba. The opposite approach is Hiroya Hatsushiba who did sound direction for the tri-Ace games up to VP2 as well as the tri-Crescendo (BK1&2, TB/ES) games, he is very specific with requests. One shouldn't forget that like everyone he tends to get typecasted, and for similar types of games (especially series) the sound direction will tend to be similar as well (e.g. based on his past music I personally wish he'd do more sports games, action games and side-scrolling shooters).Easy_D said:
I got this translation of his comment from back when he was announced in Famitsu:
First piece.
A soundtrack appears to be planned for December 7th so I expect the game around that time as well.

That would be pretty odd. Konami doesn't even have a proper website up for the game yet, and we're getting pretty close to the cut off point for retailers ordering a December title. Not to mention, Konami already has one big 3DS title due in December. I wonder what's going on with this...
Datschge said:
Yeah but Frontier Gate actually has a release window of "2011", and has a proper site, and there's a playable demo out (which Konami is taking user feedback from). So that seems more likely. Either way, we'll see. I like Sakuraba's score in BtL from what I've heard. Don't have a 3DS yet though.

His synths are familiar to me. He may be doing Kid Icarus Uprising's OST, or partially at least (or none of it which will surprise me). The theme on KIU's site sounds like something from him as well.
He's been at his best this generation, so I'm in complete disagreement with some users above. But that's cool. It's not like any of us is actually right or wrong, but the critics have some good points. The only OSTs I don't care much for from him are his Tales of stuff. Outside that, I'm eager to hear or import the soundtracks. Dark Souls will hopefully be a great OST from him and so will Beyond the Labyrinth.
Anyway, Beyond the Labyrinth seems interesting. I hope it's a lot of fun.

YES! He's great at this. That's what I wanna hear.
