I'm gonna save everyone some time. There's not a single second of music from the game in that six-minute video.

Great lineup though. Nice to see real care is being put into this aspect of the game.

I love that they seem to have heard the complaints about the music and went all out in response, because wow what a crew

Yuzo Koshiro
Motohiro Kawashima
Yoko Shimomura
Hideki Naganuma

I was hesitant about buying this game but these 4 alone got me saying day 1. I love Yoko's music, plus I met her a few years ago and she's a lovely person to chat with.

Great news announcement, TERRIBLE video. All they needed to do was show new gameplay clips with the newly announced music tracks played over them (with each composer's name flashing on the screen).

Went from a probably buy phase to a day 1 and possibly find a way to buy the soundtrack kinda mood for this game. Best news I've have all day.

The thing I like about this is that Koshiro's mentioned in the past that working alongside Kawashima inspired a sense of competition that pushed them to new heights.
I can only imagine what it'll be like with 3 other legendary composers alongside them.

I mean this in the best possible way, but what the fuck is up with this line-up?! Someone involved with this game made a deal with a devil.

After the weird art style and River City Girls I was wondering if I should get this at all. That tier of composers are good enough to try to get both.

Damn that list is a who's who for sure. Reminds me of the Shadows of the Damned talent list lol

Game is looking better and better each time I see it, animations look great

Edit: also congrats to cvxfreak, went from writing Resident Evil walkthroughs to producing god-tier SEGA soundtracks. Amazing
