Yatsunori Mitsuda, the brilliant composer behind the music of Chrono Trigger, Xenosaga, Soul Sacrifice, and a host of other games has pledged his talents to the upcoming JRPG Edge of Eternity.
Developer Midgar Studio announced that Mitsuda will provide the musical score for the crowdfunded game.
“I’ll take part as a music composer, looking forward to create music for such an epic perspective, in a world which I really love,” Mitsuda said. “I’m sure the game will be a great work with a collaboration between French and Japanese creators.”
Jeremy Zeler-Maury, Midgar Studio founder says: “As a JRPG fan, its a great honor to have the opportunity to work with such an artist as Mr Mitsuda. It goes beyond my dreams. The attention he gives to our project confirms that there is really something happening here with Edge of Eternity, its a real reward for all the energy we put in this development. We really hope gamers will help us make this dream come true”.
Edge of Eternity is inspired by JRPGs like Final Fantasy 7. Featuring an undeniable steampunk aesthetic, the game takes place in space and is being put together by an international team of game developers for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It’s also slated for release on the Mac and Linux, with cross-save support between various platforms.
The game was originally launched on Kickstarter in September 2013 but failed to generate enough interest. A second attempt at Kickstarting the title will be launched on February 15, this year.
