DISC 2
Disc2 track18- track24 commentary!
Hello, I am a Yagi, the planner.
In the past few days, I suddenly had an urge of seeing the ending of “THE LAST REMNANT”. Then as I started playing the game, for no reason, I suddenly could not compete with the last boss of the game in Disc1!?!?!
Huh? What is happening?
I did not have a hard time when I played on my test playing before, though.
How did I do that?
So far, I have just lost 5 times in a low… I must beat the last boss for this time!
Anyway, I will move on to the commentary session.
I have my personal great memories for the tracks for today`s commentary, actually.
I would love everyone to have a listen to those tracks.
■18. Old Traditions, New Methods
【Mr. Sekito comments 】
This track is from a town of Melphina, a city part of the game.
Melphina is an ordinary town that surrounded by a beautiful nature with forests.
I decided to use the acoustic guitar part and xylophone part for the track to describe the city with peaceful nature of trees and river. I wrote the track also with a slightly different approach to the previous tracks for a city part of the track for the composition.
■19. Unrelenting Advance
■20. Fallen
【Mr. Yagi comments】
First of all, My hat’s off for to Mr. Sekito’s composition for this event.
The music does not seem to be cliché of the battle track in games, rather, the music was written for underscoring this event especially.
In fact, this event includes a key element for a turning point for story.
I remember that I and Mr. Sekito did have spent a huge amount of time and effort for getting the right brief especially for this event. e.g. Music cue for the event.
I still feel really emotionally stunned, every time when I listen to the track “Fallen”.
【Mr. Sekito comments 】
During the event, there is so much going on with the scene of confused civilian, the scene of major war etc. For the music, I especially concentrated on describing an agony of civilian and allies, anger towards unbeaten power of the conqueror, and emotional in tense moment of characters.
■21. Catafalque
■22. A Son`s Lose
■23. Vows Renewed
【Mr. Yagi comments】
The music for this event really captures the feeling of desperation and fear after a number of tragic incidents happened in previous events. And the music also captures the rise of hope that made by the particular character, appearing on this story.
This event begins with following the story that previous event suggested before.
I have had a hard time coming up with the right idea for the following previous event to this event musically. As Mr. Sekito comments as follows, the music interprets the event very successfully. I highly recommend the player to enjoy this event.
【Mr. Sekito comments 】
Transition from the despair to the hope brings people altogether in this event.
The music for this particular event is very memorable since the pre production of the music. This event is one of my unforgettable event scenes, personally.
■24. Everflow (Music: Yamanaka)
【Mr. Yamanaka comments 】
The track is from The Aqueducts, a dungeon part of the track.
The dungeon itself seems really humid that it could instantly make things moss-grown.
I wrote the track to capture this humid dungeon exactly by putting musical part of slow filtering effect.
