I would've loved to see Hiroki Kikuta come back and compose music for the Seiken Densetsu games. His works on Seiken Densetsu 2 and Seiken Densetsu 3 are some of my favorite compositions out of all game music~
Oh well, though... Not sure what he's up to nowadays, anyway. Yoko Shimomura is also an excellent person for the job. I've heard a few of her compositions for another Mana game (thanks to the Best Song Contests here), though I'm not sure which one, but they were enjoyable.
As for Sakimoto, I have some lofty expectations for the Revenant Wings music. Seems like a lot of his compositions fit my tastes, and he's also very versatile. I'll be looking forward to how it turns out in comparison to FFXII's soundtrack; the new DS game looks to be much more cutesy and such compared to FFXII itself.
Nice news! Thanks for sharing, Drakken.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
