Same question that I posed for First Chapter...
Why is the composer for this listed by artist names and not "Falcom Sound Team jdk?" It should be Falcom Sound Team jdk, since that's what it says in the booklet and it's misleading if the LOH VI soundtracks don't appear under a search for Falcom Sound Team jdk. And for that matter, where is the proof that those listed members worked on this album? - Justin Pfeiffer |

I realize now that the names listed were likely taken and known from the ending credits of the game. Still, "Falcom Sound Team jdk" should be included somewhere in the composer credits, since that is the official title of the composer team and who is credited in the soundtrack. Those names are just the breakdown.

Was looking at the English tracklists for "itunes" and "amazon", both translated by falcom and the amazon translation is pretty close to the fan translation with one or two minor variations. Weird that they would've picked a new translation, but with names like "The thunder bored Grave Marker", I can understand why.

The game has some official readings and English spellings:
執行者 > Legion ル=ロックル > Le-Locle 福音 > Gospel グロリアス > Glorious リベルアーク > Liber-Ark アクシスピラー > Axis Piller [in glorious Engrish] So I tweaked a bit the current tracklist. |

This is mostly a question for 《J》, or really whoever knows:

I believe so. Trails in the Sky's development started as far as 2001 (at most) and FC & SC were originally meant to be one game, but it proved to be so massive that Falcom had to split the game into two releases to do the whole thing justice. SC got released almost two years after FC, so that's plenty of time for people like Muyarama or Ishibashi to contribute music to the sountrack for SC. On a similar note, Ishibashi explicitly cited SC in his profile:
One of Ishibashi's friends, Gin Sato, confirmed that he wrote "Aiming for the Future" from SC. I suspect he might have composed "Obstructive Existence", "Heartless Surprise Attack" and "Axis Pillar" from SC too. As we all know, it's a common (and horrible) thing in this industry -- for people to have credit removed from games they worked on if they left before it was completed. And sadly, Falcom is no different -- Ishibashi and Murayama's removal from FC & Gurumin's PSP credits (which, strangely enough, got backported into the western PC versions...), Hashimoto not being credited in Ys VIII... More annoying is when they use material by former Sound Team jdk members after they leave without crediting them... (e.g. Takeshita's music in Zwei II, Ys Seven, Nayuta no Kiseki and Tokyo Xanadu) This is what we've found so far, at least for SC. I still don't have a damn clue about who did "The Merciless Savior"... Anyway, here's the playlists (screencaps by kotorain) we made for Takeshita and his answers: Quote:

Very nice. The Enforcers, Fateful Confrontation, and The Merciless Savior may all by different people, even though they all use the same theme. I suppose this is common within Falcom.
OK, lots to sort through. I knew about the development window, so now it of course makes sense that Ishibashi and Murayama both did music that ended up in SC (aside from the repeats). Aiming For the Future is one of my favorites, so it's nice to have that credit confirmed. Overall I find SC less interesting than FC, but that's a great one.

J, could you clarify something about those screen caps? Did Takeshita confirm that all the tracks without comments/notes are his?

Additionally, one friend asked Takeshita again about The Final Choice from the 3rd, and he now says it sounds like Unisuga. I'm inclined to agree with him now, this track has that pre-loop interlude chord resolution that Unisuga likes to spam. Quote:

I'm glad you also felt those very heavy orchestral tracks from SC are Jindo's work. They're kind of out of place, style wise, compared to the others. Sad to see so little Murayama representation on SC--I wonder if he has uncredited composition work from other games during his time at Falcom? Anyway, that spreadsheet and these confirmations are really useful. I can safely declare the Murayama, Ishibashi, and Takeshita are my favorites from this Falcom era and the Sora trilogy. I've already exhausted hunting down Murayama's other confirmed Falcom soundtracks, but now I can use this document for the other two. But I sure know how to pick them. Two of those three did relatively little with Falcom, and all three left (and one is no longer with us). It's a real shame, these three are/were incredibly talented.

It's interesting that you were tracking the usage of motifs in FC/SC - I had just been thinking about making a sheet of my own to do that, although not limited to just those but also other Falcom soundtracks. Anyway, if you want, I'm sure you could get editing permissions to have your own columns in our sheet. We'd be glad to have you join us! Last edited by preta; Jun 1, 2018 at 01:59 PM. |
