It’s finally here, the album we’ve all been waiting for. The past few months leading up to the Xenoblade soundtrack release have certainly been interesting with a slew of informing coming out about the soundtrack. First it was Yoko Shimomura’s involvement, then Yasunori Mitsuda coming in with the ending vocal theme, then Dog Ear Records handling the soundtrack release. The team even sat down with Satoru Iwata at Nintendo for a special Iwata Asks interview about the game’s music. People care about this game, and they also care a lot about the music.
With that said, the 4-disc monster is finally here. Many of you have already listened to it and have come to your own conclusions, but I have some strong feelings about the score. Notice how the title says that I think Xenoblade “WILL” be a great soundtrack?
Find out what I mean by that in my review after the jump. (more…)
