“Music update this week from Yuzo Koshiro”:http:\/\/jrpg.jp\/voice\/?vid=68.<\/p>\n
When starting the composition work for 7D 2020, Niinou had a few ideas in mind.<\/p>\n
Though the game is a sequel, because of the huge leap from 2D to 3D and from DS to PSP, he feels the music should make a similar jump. So along with the change from the world of Eden to that of AD 2020 Tokyo, Koshiro is going to have a more upbeat, techno soundtrack.<\/p>\n
* It won’t be an orchestral +\/- ethnic styled soundtrack like last time
\n* Things to avoid: touchy-feely music, lively upbeat playing style.
\n* They’re aiming for music more suitable for a club, with a ‘speed’ and ‘solid’ style (OK now it sounds like they’re just tossing out random music jargon.)<\/p>\n
So essentially Koshiro is approaching this as an entirely new project, starting all over with a more urban style. Now it’s time for more music jargon: stylish with bits of hardcore, dub, and a taste of underground (_with a bouquet of cherries, charcoal, and moist underwear?_). Koshiro feels that this matches the intimidating environment of the dragon-infested game world.<\/p>\n
But having said all that, there will also be a number of arranged tracks based on the original 7D music, so players of the last work will be able to feel the connection to the current game.<\/p>\n
Finally, the update mentions the mystery question marks re: “theme song”:https:\/\/pent.semilunar.org\/dragon\/theme-song, and it seems that we’ll be seeing more info about both the music and the theme song in the next few updates.<\/p>\n
Anyway I’m OK with all that. I really enjoyed the orchestral stuff last time (the two end-boss themes were incredible), but isn’t this essentially *Streets of Rage 2 x 7th Dragon*? And doesn’t that translate directly into *fuck yeah*?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
