VERY mixed feelings on this. I do like supercell's works very much (although I haven't heard a lot of their songs since Nagi left) , but I can't imagine him working on an RPG. At least Revo's Sound Horizon had a fantasy feel to it, not to mention the epic guitar arrangements many of their songs have which works great for climactic moments.
Hoping ryo can surprise us.

Definitely disappointed, I bought the OST before Bravely Default was even announced for localisation in the west and it's what made me so hype for the game itself ;___;
Banking on this! Hoping to be pleasantly surprised, especially since I don't like supercell much...
Yeah, when I heard Revo wasn't coming back for Bravely Second my first thought was 'damn you Attack on Titan!!!' XP I mean, I like Guren no Yumiya but I think all the vocalised versions of the Bravely Default songs (minus Praline's stuff meh) are way better.

Loved Revo's OST for Bravely Default, but I won't be judging anything until I give Second's soundtrack a good listen. It could turn out great, in the same way that people were disappointed Meguro wasn't composing for Shin Megami Tensei IV, but the game's OST was still amazing.

I'll wait until I actually hear the new compositions before I start freaking out. To be honest, I'm glad that all these offbeat choices for bands are being used in RPGs these days, Revo himself never actually worked on a game before BD I believe.

I'm suddenly imagining Miku being a boss fight you have to beat for the Superstar Asterisk.
She made an appearance in the 7th Dragon 2020 games didn't she? What was her role in them?

She changed all the lyrics to Miku voice.

Well that's a shame.
The OST and art direction are two of the big factors that made me enjoy BD as much as I did.
Hopefully this turns out alright, although from a quick youtube search all I found about the new composer are generic anime opening/J-pop songs.
Hopefully they do the same as REVO and try to keep the lyrics away from the OST (hated the live concert of bravely default with all the damn lyrics)

Ryo is great, I expect a good soundtrack.

Ryo sucks though....
This is like finding out that Sawano is composing for Xenoblade X.
Except Sawano is a great composer.... Maybe not as great as the Xenoblade/Xenogears/Xenosaga composers, but I have faith that he can make some solid music for X.
Anyways, I really loved BD's music. I still listen to it now and the live concert was so good. Revo's music will be missed.

now THAT'S a tragedy.
The odd thing is all of this also applies to ryo/Supercell. In the case people end up liking his work on BS they'll very likely have to adapt to yet another new composer for the sequel to that again. It's like Asano wants to help Jpop creators to go out of their way and write instrumental music.

So about the new story writers; any insight?

New story writers and Hayashi isn't involved too? Hmm. Well I think BD's story could've been better so I don't mind the shake up.

Everything here sounds good to me. Looking forward to the soundtrack.
No thanks tbh. I'm in favor of getting other composers, particularly ones who don't work on video game music regularly, to try to create something new. BD had a great soundtrack...let's see how this turns out.

The music was one of the main reasons I completely loved Bravely Default, especially the final boss themes. Fark. No idea who this new dude is but I doubt it will be the same style, a style which is right up my alley when it comes to musical preferences. Oh well, hoping for the best.
Revo
And suddenly I'm now hopeful. I love melodic music.

No Revo? 
That's disappointing... The game will still be great I'm sure and the music will likely be good, but... Revo.

I just went through his profile on vgmdb and I guess that the Black Rock Shooter OVA OST counts as released BGM. Other than that it's all OP/ED songs.
Ah thanks, will check that out then (since I really don't think his songs give any indication how his instrumental compositions would sound like).
Sawano is an overhyped composer IMHO. His orchestral musics for anime with loud sound and chorus lack of subtlety and do not impress me (it is far from what someone like Shiro Sagisu can do). The more intimate and acoustic side of his musical style is better but I still don't find it great...
I tried to listen to several soundtracks he did (particularly Gundam), and none of them wowed me. So I'm a little worried that I won't really appreciate X's soundtrack
