After a successful Kickstarter last year, Midgar Studio was pleased to announce it had added the legendary video game composer, Yasunori Mitsuda to its team for the upcoming JRPG, Edge of Eternity. Mitsuda is known for his work on the soundtracks to the games Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Soul Sacrifice and many others.
In March of last year, the prolific Japanese composer teamed up with Cedric Menendez, the sound designer on the team, and together they began recording with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra. Midgar Studio has just unveiled a short making-of video that shows the artists at work. The video also offers a taste of the upcoming soundtrack, with many original tracks composed by Mitsuda. We think it sounds amazing. Check it out below.
