We’ve had our eyes on Front Mission Evolved ever since we learned that Garry Schyman was scoring the game. While some people may be writing the title off as a Hollywood-ized distraction from the series’ traditional strategy roots in Japan, our time with the game at E3 showed that it while it is certainly is an action game, it still requires a degree of strategy, and I personally enjoyed what I saw a whole lot. I’m definitely excited about the music, and even more by the prospect of a Front Mission soundtrack box as well.
Moving on to the topic at hand, it seems like it was just yesterday that we interviewed Garry Schyman. We covered Dante’s Inferno and BioShock 2 quite extensively, and as it turns out, Front Mission Evolved was tucked right in with these titles as far as the composition timeline goes. We also discuss the history of the franchise, its popularity in Japan, and how he feels about the score and the project overall.
