We recently had the pleasure of visiting the Square Enix Japan offices where we were able to speak with a number of staff composers as well as some who have since moved on. Aside from seeing the impressive internal sound studio where Square Enix produces all of its music, we had some interesting conversations with the composers, and we’ve selected our time with Mitsuto Suzki to start off our series.
In the interview we touch on everything from Suzuki’s former status as an arranger and synthesizer operator to now a composer with the release of The 3rd Birthday. We get additional details on how he was approached to work on the game as well as the logistics of his solo work released under the Square Enix label and the SQ series.
Hit the jump for our interview. (more…)
