SQEX-10958~61: Tactics Ogre: Reborn Original Soundtrack

[Argentis]

Might be a while till my copy arrives

Does anyone have the arranger / orchestrator break down?

Official digital releases only credit Sakimoto

Kudo, Kaneda, Kikichi and Watanabe are listed as orchestrators in the Warren Report

Iwata is credited for his compositions. Hayato Matsuo remains uncredited for his tracks [2.07, 12].

I'm in Japan and preordered a copy, so hopefully Amazon will ship it soon (I'm surprised they haven't yet, since they're usually pretty quick). I'll add scans once my copy arrives. Hoping for a full composer/arranger breakdown in the booklet.

Does anyone know if there is some weird crediting between Matsuo and SQEX? Even Matsuo wasn't credited in the PSP OST, nor in FFXII Zodiac Age. Matsuo's here are just composed/arranged by SQUARE ENIX MUSIC. However, he is credited on Final Fantasy Stranger of Paradise, so it seems rather strange that only his Tactics Ogre/FFXII work seems to be uncredited.

Also worth mentioning Matsuo wasn't credited on FRONT MISSION 3's digital release - he's listed as Square Enix Music there too.

What are everyone's thoughts on Reborn's soundtrack in comparison to its PSP and SNES counterparts?

[CrackerG]

I think overall I like the PSP better, though I do think they did a pretty good job here. I haven't listened to it outside of the context of the game yet, so my thoughts might change after some dedicated listens. Really thrown for a loop on the key change for "Fog of Phantom" after hearing it only in the one key for however many years.

[Aifread]

I've only listened in-game but it's not vastly different from the PSP version. Feels more like a re-recording than a re-arrangement for the most part.

[Argentis]

Additional arrangement from the PSP made by Abe, Chiba and Kamikura has been dropped for new additions (Vendetta and Warren Report for example)

The Warren report also contained English liner notes for each track

A couple of Iwata's tracks from the PSP are not on this release either: Box of Sentiment, and Emotion And Absence of Mind (assuming these have been swapped out for the new tracks for Reborn by Sakimoto?)

[Argentis]

My copy has arrived and the information within is incomplete compared with the information in the game's sound test.

I only have part of the sound test available, but it lists the orchestrators and their liner notes on each track. Is it worth recording that information here as it may be a more accurate representation of which member of Basiscape actually worked on each track (given Iwata for example has likely not provided any new arrangements to this score, as another member of Basiscape has adapted his work for this release)

I will attempt to record what information I have sourced from the sound test, but if anyone has finished the game and gotten 100% of the sound test able to help complete the information below?
