Concerning Sakimoto's career / Basiscape's status, it may or may not be a good move, mainly because of what has been mentioned so far. But it's still an experiment, not a complete and permanent change of practice.
From a VGM identity point of view, this is great news. I believe interesting, yet different, things are being done in each geographical regions. With composers from the East working on Western titles, or vice-versa, this can influence producers and local composers positively by willing to try new ways and directions in what the music should be like in games. Plus, it might also influence certain VGM fans into becoming more open to soundtracks that are not associated with popular Japanese series/developers.
Hopefully he'll get to work alongside one (or more) Western composer on a collaborative project. I'd be intrigued by the result.
How ya doing, buddy?
