It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Yasunori Mitsuda at length. And even Wataru Hokoyama, for that matter. If these names mean nothing to you, you’re a bad person. Really though,Mitsudais the guy behind theChronoseries,Xenogears,Xenosaga, and more, whileHokoyama’smost notable work is the amazing soundtrack toAFRIKA.
