Many of you have probably seen this by now, but I thought I'd post it here anyway since some may not have heard.
Yasumi Matsuno is getting a game developed by an American company for which he made the concept and is writing the story. It's called Unsung Heroes and it's being touted as a spiritual successor to Final Fantasy Tactics. The game is going to be made regardless of whether or not they meet their fundraising goal, but in their
Kickstarter campaign they're looking to raise $600,000 to get the game on PC/Mac/Linux and with more money they'll expand the game's content. If they can raise $1.3 million, Hitoshi Sakimoto will be hired as the lead composer of the soundtrack. At $1.6 million he'll write even more music. If they can raise $2.6 million they'll do a "full orchestra recording" and at $3.1 million, "Hitoshi Sakimoto will now perform a live concert somewhere in Southern California, performing music from some of his most memorable titles."
$50 and above backers will get a download of the soundtrack and $250 or more will get you a physical copy of the album. They're on a good track to get Sakimoto on board, with almost $400,000 raised in five days.
