Who will replace Sugiyama?

Quote:

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

I agree, and it is, but that's why I love him so much. You don't hear that stodgy stuff in games.

This is a good question, because he IS getting pretty old. Like RyuFan, I wouldn't mind seeing someone completely new enter the Square Enix scene. But Hamauzu would be an interesting choice. Shimomura wouldn't be so bad, either. In fact, I can actually see Shimomura composing for the series in the future.

But god, just not Sakimoto. I don't think his atmospheric style would suit the series at all. I don't think he could do it well, honestly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

How about Yuzo Koshiro or Hayato Matsuo?

Matsuo would be a logical choice (possibly) because of his orchestral style. But Yuzo Koshiro...? That would be pretty interesting. Maybe he could go back to his Actraiser days. That would fit perfectly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
