Hiroyuki Sawano [nZk]

It was good at the start until the rap came in.

I really hate Sawano's rock-rap songs.

Except that Monolith wasnt monolith, and the game was publish by Namco in Xenosaga's case.

I also dont like that track, but there's one that's good that I found in his collection a month ago, which is good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnkwiW7y6Js

and the game was publish by Namco in Xenosaga's case.

It was still developed by Monolith Soft.

Y'all should play xenoblade. It's a great game with an awesome ost to boot.

I'm planning on getting a Wii U. Is it available in the e-store?

Unfortunately not. For some reason nintendo decided to port xenoblade to the n3ds instead of the wiiu.

 

[george1234]

wasntit for the wii at first ? 3DS ver is gonna have terrible graphics for sure

At least i hope we will be able to exchange our old one for the new . I guess the different port is because Wii U is selling very low

If you have a monster PC/mac, you should try this:

It's pretty impressive.

 

[george1234]

Screenshots look pretty good

Weird titles which is nothing new of course. Some deciphered the song titles too, you can see it here http://vgmdb.net/album/51792

Offtopic:
Nintendo uploaded several live performances of some songs from Xenoblade Chronicles, check out the lovely Gaur Plains

LOL wtf @ Disc 2, that's like spamming!!! did he even think when writing those ?

efrfrdfbgbrgb
jdmyjbrg nfhmfyhger
fbdb gfbgd gn,yikkjytrfw

other than that, that's alot of tracks for a single game!!

 

[joel_jman]

Actually those weird titles are like puzzles (somehow, I consider it as well thought)

for example
z5m20i12r04a28 is z5 mira 2012-04-28
z10b2r0i1e2f0i9n1g3 is z10 briefing 2012-09-13

that also applies to the other tracks when you combine the pronunciation of the romaji and kanji combined
N周L辺A is NLA Shuunen
N市L街A is NLA Shigai

also when you combine the lowercase first then the uppercase ones
fiKAIeldJOU is field KAIJOU
aBOreSSs is ares BOSS
raTEoREkiSImeAra is raokimera TERESIA

whatever these titles mean, maybe an in-game concept.

other than that, that's alot of tracks for a single game!!

I'm actually surprised there are only 55 tracks for a big game like this. The last Xenoblade Chronicle had over 90 tracks. Didn't Xenosaga III supposed to have 6 discs too?

 

[Lorde-Kowz]

Jesus Christ, those titles.

I'm actually surprised there are only 55 tracks for a big game like this. The last Xenoblade Chronicle had over 90 tracks. Didn't Xenosaga III supposed to have 6 discs too?

Considering it's Sawano, each track probably has multiple pieces.

 

[george1234]

Aparently Sawano composed for a NHK TV drama too
http://hikarinoakariost.info/nhk-tv-drama-mare-original-soundtrack-hiroyuki-sawano/
I havent listened to it yet but he has the usual vocalists

 

[Lorde-Kowz]

I've only listened to his Dragon something something Medical Team soundtracks. I liked a few tracks, but it was kinda overdramatic for me.

I'll give this one a listen though.

 

[george1234]

The Xenoblade X OST is out!

EDIT: Disc 1 sucks, its like Attack on Titan x Aldnoad Zero, but unlike these it has no good melodies. Only last 2 tracks are good.
still listening.
From disc 2 I like track 5, and 19, rest is bad I guess

All the vocal songs seem to be for boss battles / cutscenes ? If so he gone one step forward from Kajiura in that aspect (I remember that Xenosaga II review saying that if (the reviewer) had choice, he would leave the tracks without vocals).

Disc 3: 3rd part of track 2 is nice. Also track 3, 4 is very good, something between jazz and spiritual with elements of rock. track 7 is very relaxing, I like. #9 was nice too, I guess its shop music ? Calm part of track 11 was quite relaxing

Disc 4 is probably the best, as it has the most melodic tracks.

2nd [nzk] album (first was o1), coming out September 20 ^w^

 

[Justisamuel]

https://vgmdb.net/album/107455Could somebody explain why this album was added yesterday to Sawano's upcoming works, while nobody from the staff has tweeted about this, neither could I find any discussion on the web ? (I'm not following the discord)
He also hasn't made any announcement during his LIVE Stream【-30k】202012 today.
Seems legit though.

Koko (ft. Beverly) / Taiiku Okazaki arranged by Hiroyuki Sawano
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsOficAlXI8Solid evidence that the arranger does 99% of the job on a song. Or more likely: proof that Sawano can't blend with other styles.
