I'm sure there will be numerous live performances too, likely involving an orchestrator, though Shiro Hamaguchi is away right now.
As for Yoko Shimomura, I'm curious as to what synthesizer operator will work with her. None of her works have really shone in terms of synth quality, though I prefer Yamazaki's synth for Kingdom Hearts far more than Takeharu Ishimoto's for Kingdom Hearts II. Given Ishimoto has been officially upgraded to a composer, though, I think it'd be wise to anticipate Yasuhiro Yamanaka (Code Age Commanders, Front Mission 5) or Mitsuto Suzuki (a newcomer). |
I'd actually love for Yamazaki to work with Shimomura again. In fact, if it would not be too much of a burden, I think it woud be great if he worked with BOTH Hamauzu and Shimomura. It would at least provide a consistent sound canvas to the PS3 elements of the FFXIII compilation.
Oh, and I've also captured the music from the trailer. As such, though, it's pretty low-quality, but there's enough there to enjoy the Hamauzu-ness.
