The sequel has a pretty dope soundtrack too if you're into a more downtempo ambient soundtrack.

Tim Follin is incredible, but he's not in the same stylistic ballpark. It feels wrong to compare them against each other. Uematsu's stuff is more orchestral and emotionally evocative, whereas Follin's work is more immediate, off-the-wall, and plays with technical complexity both in terms of theory and hardware.
If Uematsu is a classical composer, Follin is a prog rocker.
>uematsu
fuck outta here, can't wait for XC2 to have soundtrack of the year
>uematsu
>posts OST mainly done by mitsuda

If XC2 has the soundtrack of the year, it'll be ACE's doing, not his. He's not as much of a god of composition as /v/ likes to think he is these days.

I have to disagree, the last monolith game he had a big part in (soma bringer) had one of the best soundtracks on the DS
>>377784894
You know that was nearly a decade ago, right?
>>377779804
>steal from pink floyd and other artists
>how do they compete xdD
>>377784984
and? do you have examples of recent bad soundtracks from him?
>>377781871
Yes, but Uematsu took all the credit.
>>377779804
>8 bit music theory
This guy is pretty great.

Bad? When did this become about him being bad? All I said was that it's not as if every single soundtrack he's ever been responsible for has been solid gold. Chrono Trigger and Cross are gold, Tsugunai: Atonement is gold. Stella Glow and Valkyria Revolution? Eh, not so notable. His involvement with Xenoblade 2 isn't a bad thing by any means, but ACE+ and Manami Kiyota are almost solely responsible for the music that cemented the first game as a modern classic. Mitsuda composed one song for that game- the ending theme, which is basically that game's I Am the Wind; it's well-made, but really cheesy and doesn't exactly fit in.
CC is a better example of Mitsuda using NP in his element.
Fitting for a game that's also barely functional as a sum of its parts.
>>377785650
you're right on that with xenoblade 1, but he clearly has a far bigger role in 2 and based on his updates its shaping up to be one of his best projects. Also can't forget his involvment in xenogears/saga, stellar OSTs within the series
Has Mitsuda ever done big orchestration of his works? He seemed really touched to hear an entire orchestra play his music.
>>377784483
There's literally no way to fuck this up if you had to follow up this abortion of a soundtrack.
>>377779804
Yasunori Mitsuda did best of Chrono Trigger music though.
