Hitoshi Sakimoto to score Western games

Let me give ONE comment about Mr Hitoshi Sakimoto. Perhaps, for once, this is in favour for Mr X.

In my opinion, I think he creates wonderful music. We all love playing his works, recording it for him in recording studios and working together on scores. However he is a composer who can only really express his musicality in ONE STYLE.

This is not a bad thing (Mozart really only had one style of his own) but in terms of soundtracks, I believe that some things can be a setback. His distinct harmony doesnt change much throughout many different genre of games or anime.

So to some people, Hitoshi Sakimoto is a lesser composer than others.

I think it's good that in places like this, people are able to express their beliefs. I think it creates mutual respect of each other after a "debate"... ONLY when you do so in a civilised manner. I think Mr Sakimoto would appreciate it if this thread is kept in an "academic" and clean discussion of him.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My last comments for Mr Sakimoto is to accept less work and use more time to create something great again.

Maybe one day.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
