Comic Con was just this past weekend. That means we had the opportunity to catch up with Izumi Tsukushi and Akio Shiraishi at Square Enix and pick their brains about recent and upcoming soundtrack release from Square Enix’s internal label (see our past interviews from 2008, 2009, and 2010). While asking a question about Mitsuda’s comments about wanting to create a Myth 2 album if the first one sold well (I’m still pulling for the album to be called Re:Myth), we were told that while the album was very successful, and that they’d like to do a second album, that this would not happen until the Chrono Cross arrangement album is complete.
While I doubt we’ll see the Chrono Cross arrange album this year, I still think it’s great to see pressure from Square Enix along with fans to get this album completed. By no means do I want to see Mitsuda rush the album, but I think it’s been on his back-burner for way too long.
Are you looking forward to the Chrono Cross arrange album and to a second Myth album that may be planned for a later time?

I’m in fangirl mood since Mitsuda confirmed he is working (full time) on the Chrono Cross arrangement album. The release has been pushed back for too long and Myth was released only a few month ago. Myth II can wait, in my opinion 🙂
I’m surprised about the pressure from Square Enix on this one, considering that Mitsuda owns all the rights to the music and at least, until this posting, I presumed his own label would publish it. Maybe Square Enix just wants a little extra cash and is going to publish it for that purpose.
