Dear Reader:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 lead composer gives status update music, says some recording is complete
The following comes from lead composer Yasunori Mitsuda...
- music appears to be pretty much complete
- was worked on by 150 people, the largest production Mitsuda has been involved with
- mixing process for music began this week
- Mitsuda is responsible for budget management, booking, music sheet management, and composin
- it seems a Xenoblade Chronicles X soundtrack is coming, but a release date isn’t fixed yet
- mixing the music only started for the cut-scenes, so it’s just half of the tracks
- recording sound quality is good, and the team is trying its best to top the original Xenoblade
- this is among one of the largest scale projects in the whole gaming world
"Starting today we will begin mixing the xenoblade 2 soundtrack. With that being said, it's just the tracks for the cutscenes, which still leaves half of all the music to go once those are done. But what we have recorded sounds great. Everyone is working hard to surpass the xenoblade 1 soundtrack. In my mind this is undoubtedly one of the largest-scale projects in video game music in the world."
