FFXIII Sound Team

[Ram]

Sorry if this is mentioned before, but around new year, Masashi Hamauzu confirmed the sound team for Final Fantasy XIII on his blog: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/music/sem/page/cm/hamauzu/ (scroll down for the picture)

The people from the left to the right are Kazuki Hamamoto, Keiji Kawamori, Masashi Hamauzu, Mitsuto Suzuki and Masashi Kitagawa.

Hamauzu is the composer, Suzuki & Kawamori are likely the synthesizer operators, I don't know about Kitagawa & Hamamoto.

You sure know a lot about J-composers. Try wikipedia or search if those people have a profile at Square Enix Music.
Or maybe these:
Kazuki Hamamoto - http://us.imdb.de/name/nm2687908/
Masashi Kitagawa - http://us.imdb.de/name/nm1979302/

.....Why?

Thanks for the information Ram. Nice to see some FFXIII related news on the music blog :P

Well, I only know about Hamauzu, Kawamori (FFVII AC Arranger) and Suzuki actually.

*looks in the booklet of the Sigma Harmonics OST*

Project Coordinator: Masashi Kitagawa
Project Assistants: Kazuki Hamamoto & Seako Kanazawa
...
Bass: Keiji Kawamori
...
Arrangement, Mix & Produced by Mitsutu Suzuki


I assume that Kawamori will still be a synthesizer operator, since he has done this since FFVIII.

And there's Hijiri Kuwano credited as violinist. I think he is also the performer for the FFXIII Battle Theme, since the sound is quite the same as Sigma Harmonics' tracks.

I think your right on Hijiri Kuwano being the violinist.

does anyone here know where i can get an mp3 version of ff13's theme song? the one with the violin?

[Thunder]

I have it but its recorded from a trailer and has the sound of the bullets etc.

[Paskoww]

Do you know if Nobuo Uematsu will compose something for the game ?

It was said, he would do the Main Theme!

[Thunder]

Yes, but only that.

[Wandering Hands]

If they say he is doing the main theme, THEN HE'S DOING THE MAIN THEME. Why even ask? :wtf:






Good grief almighty Christ.

Here's a fantastic rip by Lian Kazairl from the FFshrine forums (of the whole demo).

[Angelus-Mortis]

That's nice to know. I like his piano works. I heard somewhere (forget where) that they're really epic on the fingering. He's just not quite as popular as Nobuo Uematsu.

*Is STILL looking for the sheet music for SaGa Frontier II*

A lot of the "Purge" track is new and sounds good^_^ (at some parts it was very similar to the FFX soundtrack). Thanks they're the best quality I've found so far.

[Lady~Vengeance]

This is probably going to be the first and only FF soundtrack I plan on buying. I really dig the composition of the music.
