Does anyone know who is composing the music for FFXIII?

And how much money do you want to bet that Nobou will find a way to contribute to the soundtrack, no matter how bad it is ^^?

FFXIII - Masashi Hamauzu
FFXIII: Versus - Yoko Shimomura
FFXIII: Agito - Takeharu Ishimoto

Yoko Shimomura, is he new?

Hmmmm, its going to be strange having different composers for each one. Thanks Trance ^^

Yoko Shimomura, is he new?

Yoko is a girl. And nom she is not new. She has been composing since the early 90's.

Haha, i need to be updated on my knowledge on composers ^^
Thanks again Trance

Frankly, I'm quite surprised you didn't say 'is Ishimoto new?' :p

^_^ that is because FFXIII agito is like on mobile or gameboy or something, and i don't care about that game ^^.
So anyway, is Ishimoto new?

Which game was Ishimoto ever working on?
he's not a popular SE VGM composer I guess...

Legend of Mana, Parasite Eve and Kingdom Hearts are ones of her most famous discography. and to be honest, she's the most complicated composer to describe. I have yet to know suitable words to describe Shimomura's music

Popularity-wise, Street Fighter 2 is her easily her most well known work. (she composed the majority).

Alvinz, Ishimoto is new to the composition world of VGM, but was a synthesizer operator on quite a few Square Enix games before he was 'promoted' and started composing.

And here I'm wondering how Ishimoto will make a good music since the game he's working on is in mobile phone. midi quality sound?

Hey, Hitoshi Sakimoto did an awesome job with the FF12 soundtrack. One of my favourite OST.

Eriol, cell phones these days have CD-quality mp3 support. You need to wake up and get with the times.

Now for the wake-up call: Japanese cell phones tripluate as TV remotes and credit cards.

OMFG! H4XX0RZ!

FFXII music is great...

especially when you fight belias and when you summon him...

Damn im gonna miss Nobou Uematsu's songs

Tch thats the only music composer I knew, I never really knew the others

That just goes to show that Nobou Uematsu has been taking way too much credit. Agreed?

not agreed he puts a lot of hard work into making the final fantasy scores and he desrves the credit.

His songs WERE actually better than the others. I mean in FFVII his music was THE BEST in that game

I think you are confusing fact with thought and being bias.
When people think of Nobou's music, the first thing the remember is his classics. The specials rare ones that wows the whole world and leave people wanting more, for example Aerith's theme, To Zanarkand, Eyes on me, and many others.
But what about the countless other songs that goes into the game that he has composed. You have to consider those too, not just those in the spotlight.

Anyway thats kinda off topic. What i mean when i said Nobou Uematsu is taking credit is that for the recent projects, he hasn't been composing much. There are other composers who contribute just as much as him, maybe even more to the soundtrack, yet basically people just think its Nobou this and Nobou that.

I hope Nobouo helps out or else it will suck

All of Nobuo Music is Great.
