I got a fever, and the only thing that can put it out is MORE XENO!
A few months ago, we named Yasunori Mitsuda’s soundtrack for Xenosaga Ep. I: Der Wille Zur Macht as a soundtrack of the month. More recently, we learned via Mitsuda’s Twitter (and later Square Enix’s official site) that a Xenogears orchestral arranged album is in the works. Fans have every reason to get excited about this cult classic PS1 RPG again.
That’s why we thought it’d be appropriate to officially get the two disc Xenogears Original Soundtrack inducted into our very own hall of fame, which is of course our SotM column.
Yasunori Mitsuda first made waves with Chrono Trigger (alongside Uematsu and Matsueda), and he took on a number of joint projects after that. But this was Mitsuda’s first solo project. His signature style is found throughout, and it’s certainly something worth remembering.
Care to remember with us? Then join us after the jump for a more detailed look at the Xenogears OST, which is our November 2010 Soundtrack of the Month! (more…)
