Nice. I enjoy her work in the past.
It's not hers. It was composed and arranged by Yoshitaka Suzuki, as posted above.her version of prelude is so fucking good

Yoshitaka Suzuki is actually the one behind that Prelude arrangement.
her telling people that positive feedback helps her worked
Yeah she said when she's out of energy she goes online and looks at people's feedback of her music.
That's kinda cute.
YES to both, so freakin good!
Also the Niflheim Base theme when they get caught.

The interview structure is a bit strange. The translator is speaking ABOUT her, not FOR her. It's like Yoko Shimomura is talking in 3rd person.
And isn't this the same translator that speaks in 1st person when translating for the male Square Enix employees?
She's amazing. This franchise doesn't deserve her work.
What's that supposed to mean? This series has a track record of producing some of gaming's best soundtracks.
For a second, I forgot she was working on this
This is one of my favorite latter-day Uematsu compositions. IIRC, he wrote an entire score for The Last Story and Sakaguchi didn't like it so they had a huge fight over email that accidentally got CC:ed to the whole staff. So Uematsu almost quit but instead redid the whole thing.This is one of the results, the town music from the Last Story: Timbre of the City
You don't do that, you fool!!
That said as a die hard Kanno fan i'd love her to do something big like that so much. Her on a FF would melt people.
As for Shimomura, i'm a huuuuge fan of her Legend of Mana tracks, but i have to admit i like a little less (even if there are classy pieces already) her FFXV one. It's just not as unique and sophisticated. FF tend to make composers shy or something. I found Hamauzu ost, even if excellent, less "Hamauzu" than what he did before. Like if composers had to go more mainstream for this game, less personal. (Except Nobuo of course, but he gave FF its soul in first place, the one that is lacking now).
Yeah Ive never seen an interview translated quite like that before.

shimomura or kanno?
Kanno. Let me know when Shimomura comes up with her own Space Lion.
Glad to finally see others mentioning Kanno in FFXV threads In the last years while listening to Kanno's work, the epic orchestral ones especially, I often thought "Man, that would fit so well in FFXV!" and phantasized about her composing for a mainline FF. She has a mind-blowing quality/quantity ratio and covers literally any genre and style you could think of.You don't do that, you fool!!

Why do you have to start a fight so early in the thread
For the millionth time in these Game Informer FFXV info threads, those are from an older build from, like, late last year or early this year IIRC. A game being like that from a tech POV so far from release isn't anything to be too worried about since the final months will always be the time when the focus is the most on polishing the game and its performance.Final Fantasy XV OST will be amazing, we know it since 2006 but... what a technical mess in those gameplay segments, framerate is sluttering, there's significant clipping (tree popping out of nowhere...).
I don't think Uematsu needs me to fight for his reputation, so I'm letting this one go.You can't call it a fight if it's this one-sided.

Funny how the showpieces are always from an older build. Platinum demo too.
An old tale we keep telling ourselves... I'm pretty sure retail version will be the same with framerate drops, clipping and ugly textures. Scale is too big and Japan has lost it touch.
Final Fantasy won't be the best looking game anymore (unless it has corridors...).
I'm still waiting the game (as i've been for the last 10 years) and i'm pretty sure i will like it but yeah... it will lacks polish.

(unless PS4 Neo runs the game better)
never heard of her, but the music in the Platinum demo was pretty good. especially the calm piece playing as you first take control.
guess she'll have to do if i can't have Uematsu or Hamauzu.
So are we allowed to come back and say I told you so when a game looks much better after 8+ months of development from what we've seen now?
Oh man you just reminded me of legend of mana. That ost was PHENOMENAL.Surprised this didn't happen sooner (Yoko composing a mainline FF OST, that is). I think it's well overdue after she spent so many years doing Square's other OSTs like Legend of Mana, Kingdom Hearts series and Parasite Eve (my personal favourite). Excited to hear what she comes up with.
