Do we have any idea why Xenoblade's previous composer(s) were not used in favour of Sawano?
If I'm not mistaken Takahashi said in one of his interviews that he is a big fan of Sawano and wanted him to make the music for this game.

I also thought those composers were hired for FF XV firstIf I'm not mistaken Takahashi said in one of his interviews that he is a big fan of Sawano and wanted him to make the music for this game.

Does X have Amiibo support but only for the Shulk Amiibo? That's what the gameXplain video said....
...but they told me that's not true in the Amiibo thread...
Takahashi said he handpicked Sawano himself, so he probably just wanted it that way.Do we have any idea why Xenoblade's previous composer(s) were not used in favour of Sawano?
Only Shimomura. But she's being doing stuff for FFXV since way back in the day (before the first Xenoblade's development even started).I also thought those composers were hired for FF XV first
Shulk's amiibo works with the New 3DS version of the original, not with X.
It just unlocks 'tokens' you can use to get models and music tracks in the model viewer/soundtrack mode.

Given Yasunori Mitsuda's abhorrent work throughout the Xeno games, I understand Takahashi's desire for change.
1000 % not serious.

Mitsuda didn't even work on Xenoblade aside from contributing a single song (ending theme).
Also, I don't think composers are locked to only one project (although to be fair, Shimomura probably got her hands full being the only composer for FFXV).
The areas look segmented, but I remember they wanted everything to be seamless?
What do you mean? The hexagons on the map? Or the 5 continents.
All we know is Takahashi said he's been a fan of Sawano for a while and wanted to ask him.
The amount of amazing composers that have worked on the Xeno series confounds me: Mitsuda, Kajiura, Shimomura, ACE+, Kiyota, Shinji Hosoe and now Sawano.
With such talented people onboard and such great results for each game, you have to wonder why he felt the need to change from project to project... O_O.
The 5 continents. It looks similar to Xenoblade as of now, which has area transitions for each huge map.
OMG! I know I'm late but I've watched this video so many times already! This is everything I wanted and more!
While we're talking about composers, have ACE+ done anything else since Xenoblade?
ACE (ACE+ minus Kenji Hiramatsu) have composed the Code of Princess soundtracks, and worked on arrangements with Uematsu for Fantasy Life.OMG! I know I'm late but I've watched this video so many times already! This is everything I wanted and more!

Weird thing is, Kenji Hiramatsu DID work on Emil Chronicle, but was credited as a separate name.ACE+ is a group. The group as a whole only did Xenoblade.
ACE has worked on Emil Chronicle Online.

She's in charge of KH3 too, and has contributed to Tri-Ace's Chronos Ring.
She must be so busy O_O Yet her music never sounds tired.

I really doubt she hasn't started working on it yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sekito/Ishimoto/Suzuki/etc. helping her out though.But to be fair, maybe KH3 hasn't even started with the soundtrack yet =P
Is the soundtrack any good? Haven't listened to it yet.Yeah, the only reason why I didn't say ACE+ was because I wasn't sure if their work was segregated.

He did on Xenogears, the superior game.
Xenoblade's soundtrack was fantastic, and seemingly one of the game's biggest strengths. It was largely praised by fans and critics alike, so it's interesting to me that they changed composers for Xenoblade X.
And Xenogears' OST was obviously amazing. Love Mitsuda's work (as well as ACE+'s in Xenoblade).
Both games need a better 3d character modeler... preferably from Square. They have "realistic anime" mastered
...Too bad I read that this song is actually from one of Sawano's albums, so I guess this won't be in the game, or else he would be called lazy by others for using existing music. This was very promising, though...
I follow pin it down to Takahashi being a mecha and Gundam fanboy. This is something that we've known since FFVI.

ACE did some remixes for Smash 4.
