To achieve this, he worked closely with Filmscore’s Nobuko Toda and Yoshitaka Suzuki - who serve as the orchestrators and cinematic co-composers here - as well as a team of instrumentalists and vocalists. Soken places an emphasis on live orchestrations with numerous new tracks packed with variety. The instrumentation in this score is fresh and vivid, with many tracks disposing of the synth material omnipresent in the Before Meteor album.
BodyĪlmost every piece of criticism I had for Before Meteor, the soundtrack to the original Final Fantasy XIV, is addressed in Soken’s A Realm Reborn - to the degree where I would place this soundtrack on the same tiers as some of the earlier Final Fantasy games in terms of originality, thematic content, and execution. The MMORPG’s sound director Masayoshi Soken, who previously composed for the patches of the original game, returned on a mission to compose the sequel’s soundtrack, and he succeeded. As happy as I was to hear the Before Meteor score, which brought back traces of the trademark Final Fantasy mood and style, I was overjoyed when I first heard the score to A Realm Reborn, which easily stands up to any previous Final Fantasy album. Having recently celebrated its first anniversary, game continues to be updated on a regular basis, to the delight of its two million players. A Realm Reborn was met with substantially more success, receiving strong reviews and selling beyond expectations internationally. It was made largely, if not completely, in response to the first game’s failure to meet the expectations of either Square Enix or the company’s fans. Revamped from the ground up, A Realm Reborn takes place one year after the apocalyptic events that concluded Final Fantasy XIV. Final Fantasy XIV -A Realm Reborn- Original Soundtrack
