Who will replace Sugiyama?

I was never that big of a fan of Sugiyama; he and his music always seemed a little stodgy to me.

Since Squeenix isn't particularly concerned with keeping their main franchises consistent in sound, they'll probably slot in whoever the flavor of the month happens to be, even if it's a totally inappropriate choice.

Then again, 75 isn't that terribly old. Elmer Bernstein was composing well into his 80's.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quoted for truth, and for finally agreeing with my viewpoint in the fact of militant Hamauzu fanboyism

I personally think that, on further consideration, that Shimomura or Sakimoto would make good replacements, though it would be nice to see an unknown get a shot or (wonder of wonders) perhaps Mitsuda.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
