    Nocture, I talked to him about it on facebook a little, He apparently switched to Cubase because of Masashi, And has now been using it + ReWire to compose and produce all of his stuff

    I'm impressed with what he did in Final Fantasy XIII-2. I really liked the soundtrack, and it's cool to know that he did a majority, or most of the good songs on the game.

    His stuff in XIII-2 is amazing. I thought most of it was Masashi Hamauzu but when I found out that most of it was this guy I was shocked. Sounds like he's either been taking lessons from Hamauzu, is super influenced by Hamauzu, or he just worked really closely with Hamauzu to make this stuff. If it's none of those things though, this guy is something else. I can see him working on a lot of subsequent SE games. It's weird though, The Blood of Bahamut soundtrack is alright, it's solid, but I didn't expect to hear this kind of thing from him. It's like he's gotten 100 times better. Perhaps the limitations of the DS impeded him or something.... Truthfully I kind of wish Hamauzu had written the stuff this guy did. Up until now, Hamauzu was unquestionably my favourite videogame composer. I still love him, but I guess he's got competition now!

    Easily one of the greatest composers out there. Glad to see that he's working on the Final Fantasy XIII-2 soundtrack. I'd love to see him do more work for the series, and maybe touch up a bit in Final Fantasy XIV for old time's sake.

    They both have great soundtracks. I think he kept a lot of the influence from the PE1 ost, but tweaked PE2's just enough so that it would have it's own feel, and for me, it feels sort of like, the more modern, contemporary version on PE1, and I think it fits the game perfectly, just PE1's ost fits the first game perfectly.

    I didn't like PE1 so for me the 2 is wayyy better, Pe2 had the perfect soundtrack in my opinion...

    PE2 soundtrack is nice, but the one for the 1st game of the series is so much better!
