Hiroyuki Sawano
The game's soundtrack was handled by Hiroyuki Sawano. Sawano had earned acclaim for his work on the soundtracks for multiple anime series including "Attack on Titan", "Guilty Crown" and "Kill la Kill". Takahashi had been a long-time fan of Sawano, so he personally insisted on having Sawano compose for this game. Sawano was more than willing to discuss the project when Takahashi suggested it. When they first met, Takahashi showed Sawano a concept video for the game, which provided the inspiration for Sawano's subsequent work. Sawano created the music based on the musical selections and resources provided by Monolith Soft staff, before working on the music in his own studio.
