Hitoshi Sakimoto ~discuss~

I love his main themes.

I love the layering of strings and trumpets he uses.

I hate how most of his songs aren't that memorable.

I hate how most of his songs use the same instruments.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. It's this "wall of sound" kind of thing, where all the music echoes and you're not sure where the clear melody is trying to get out.

I have the same problem with Motoi Sakuraba (basically the king of echo right there).

But don't get me wrong, it's great in-game, as it creates this amazing atmosphere. Out of game, though... it has to be a major theme or I get bored.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
