World Destruction and Arc Rise Fantasia

[skitch_84]

There have been announcements of two new games that Mitsuda will be composing the scores for! First is World Destruction, an RPG for the Nintendo DS. Second is Arc Rise Fantasia, an RPG for the Nintendo Wii. Use this thread to post any new information you may find out about these two games and their respective soundtrack releases.

Visit each game's website below:

World Destruction:

Arc Rise Fantasia:

I just checked the World Destruction website again. If you click on the "News" tab you'll find information about a 5 track World Destruction Premium Soundtrack that is being released. Mitsuda did this same thing with Soma Bringer and the Premium Soundtrack was given with pre-orders for the game. This appears to be the case with this soundtrack as well. If anyone can read the Japanese better than I can, please translate the details!

***edit***

I found this site that credits performance(s) by the Czech Philharmonic Collegium on the Premium Soundtrack. Woot!!

I want your opinions on Soma Bringer soundtrack... demos definitely sound very peculiar, not resembling his previous Celtic work.

Also are there any downloadable demos of these two latest games?

Nice to see some new compositions from Mitsuda that is performed by orchestra!

Not sure if I like the kid's choir as vocal though, it sure doesn't match the mood of "World Destruction" by having cute kids singing!

The song sets the mood for the sadness. I find the child's voice fit for the game (though haven't played it yet)
