This come from this week's Famitsu, which has apparently leaked already. So Revo won't be composing the music for Bravely Second, due to "scheduling conflicts". There's going to be some returning tracks though, like those for towns.

There's also a new trailer coming in the near future, and the game will get a demo at one point.

No...

 

[kuroneko0509]

No Revo no buy

Spoiler

j/k but a bit disappointed though... hopefully he'll return for the 3rd game

 

[Zalman]

Damn. The music in the first game was so freaking amazing.

 

[zeromcd73]

Nooooo

 

[InfiniteNine]

Yay I love Supercell.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

On the one hand it's too bad that revo won't compose the OST for the second game as well since I loved it despite not having played the game yet. On the other hand I am very interested in what ryo's take on a game soundtrack will be.

 

[The12thGripper]

rip bd, you won't be missed

 

[vareon]

Yeah, with all the silence about Revo it's kinda weird they didn't announce him as soon as possible if he's in.

Dunno what to expect from Ryo, though. I know some Supercell songs but they're not songs I expect to hear in a JRPG.

 

[L~A]

One thing's for sure: Asano sure like his J-Pop/Rock bands

Bit disappointed by this news, but I think we can expect a great soundtrack from ryo. And at least, it'll give Bravely Second a distinct flavour!

 

[SliceSabre]

SuperCell? Ehhhh. Can't say I've ever heard more than a couple of songs I liked of their's.

That said I hope they prove me wrong and make it a good one.

Bravely Third to be composed by

It's time to remember the amazing music from the first game:

I've literally just lost all of the hype and half of the interest. Mostly because that might weaken the chances for another Linked Horizon live DVD. The first one was even more amazing than the game itself.

Sadly, this one isn't composed or arranged by Revo :lol

 

[Katsuragi]

That's rather disappointing. I loved Bravely Default's music so much that I ended up importing the soundtrack from Japan.

 

[mrmickfran]

Sadly, this one isn't composed or arranged by Revo :lol

It's not? Um, well... oops >_>

It's still an awesome theme.

 

[kuroneko0509]

It's not? Um, well... oops >_>

It's still an awesome theme.

Yep, it was composed by Naoshi Mizuta (since this was originally 4HoL song) and arranged by Yasuhiro Yamanaka.
It's still a great battle theme anyway xD

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I can't say I'm happy about this. We'll see.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Dunno what to expect from Ryo, though. I know some Supercell songs but they're not songs I expect to hear in a JRPG.

I think he's a quite talented composer and I am looking forward to seeing him moving away from J-Pop songs for once to compose a soundtrack.

 

[Reknoc]

Sure, why not, will be interesting to hear someone else's attempt at doing it.

 

[Magicpaint]

Why am I sad? I haven't even heard the compositions yet...

...I guess I just love the first game's music that much. Based Revo.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Oh well, still hyped.

 

[Zenaku]

Give me a Hatsune Miku costume and an original song to play in battle while a characters wearing it, and I'll be happy.

 

[duckroll]

Ryo sucks though....

This is like finding out that Sawano is composing for Xenoblade X.

 

[li bur]

I got some "uh oh" moments since I thought it was that clash of clans supercell.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Music by ryo?
Sign me the fuck up!

 

[Kouriozan]

Revo will be missed

Ha ha, you joke, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it turned out like that.

Personally, I found the concert really disappointing, because with a couple of exceptions, it was the same thing as the CD version, just performed live (no special arrangements). Still awesome music, not complaints on that end

 

[mrmickfran]

What anime has Ryo composed for?

 

[Bomber Bob]

Unacceptable.

 

[random25]

Why no Revo!? Why!?

 

[Spikain]

I didn't ever listen to the CD, jumped straight to the DVD version so no disappointment for me

Let's just hope that this means Revo is composing for another cool thing and there's another cool concert coming. Fingers crossed. But tears shed.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

how soon before Square Enix kills off this IP by making changes fans do not want?

 

[Astarte]

The first game had some great songs, but listening to them over and over again really killed the experience for me.

 

[zeromcd73]

Unacceptable.

Mrgrgr むぐぐ～

 

[Hot Coldman]

yeah fuck that

he better be back for the next game

Ah yes, that explains it then.

What? This got nothing to do with Squeenix. Revo simply wasn't available for Bravely Second. It's as simple as that.

For those wondering what Ryo (Supercell) has composed, here's the second OP for Guilty Crown. But you can be 100% sure the actual soundtrack will have nothing in common with that song.

 

[wrowa]

It's sad, but I don't actually mind it that much. I like the idea of Bravely being a series with changing composers from the Jpop/Jrock scene. It gives the whole thing a different flavor - and being different yet similar seems to be the point of Bravely Default. It's sad that we won't be getting another concert this way, though.

I wonder if Naotaka Hayashi will be back to write the story.

If Bravely Second is successful the series is here to stay, The biggest hurdle won't be the composer, though, but Bravely Defaul itself. I hope they haven't lost a lot of goodwill and excitement for Bravely Second due to the lukewarm reception to the second half of Bravely Default.

 

[moeshizzle]

Hmm I guess that's okay. I think I heard supercell in guilty crown and it wasnt that bad...

Still want Revo back tho.

 

[meltingparappa]

I was bracing myself for this now that Revo has skyrocketed.

I wonder if Naotaka Hayashi will be back to write the story.

Don't joke. We just lost Sugiyoma, we can't lose Hori as well.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

What anime has Ryo composed for?

He has never composed a soundtrack before but composed Opening/Ending songs for several anime (Bakemonogatari, Guilty Crown, Psycho-Pass)

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Supercell ryo or whatever is awesome. Has made plenty of great tunes but I don't think it fits the game. Hmmm will wait and see.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

*listens to a few tracks*

Oh typical trash J-pop. Great.

SE already fucking the sequel, where's is Mizuta and the other SE composers that aren't working on anything worthwhile?

 

[Labadal]

Bravely Default's soundtrack was great. I don't know who the new composer(s) is but Youtube will fix that. It's a shame we didn't have the same people working on the soundtrack for the second game.

Just a question based on the reaction to the subject of the OP. S-E does not have many successes lately this IP has charmed many fans and sold 1m worldwide. If people have a negative reaction to a music composer change... I just wonder. Fans have been really hard on what Square Enix does these days. See: wrowa's reply above

 

[Maebe]

Ugh that's awful. Supercell of all groups, too? How lame.

Supercell is much loved.....but I don't see it meshing with BD or from the looks of this thread, its fans.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

yeah, that is all I was pointing out. Supercell has those that love it but if fans of this game think they don't match you get some backlash or hate as seen in this thread

 

[L~A]

I don't think it's really sensible to expect the soundtrack to be full of J-Pop, just because that's what Supercell does. It's Ryo composing the music, which means it can be entirely different than what he does for Supercell.

It's actually quite intriguing, because as people have pointed out, Ryo has never composed a soundtrack before. I definitely can't wait for that first trailer.

I really hope people will give him a chance, must be tough having to be compared to Revo, especially that awesome BD soundtrack.
