We bring an interesting message related to one of the most beloved franchises by igamesnews. We are talking in this case about Earthbound.
Mother / Earthbound
On this occasion, we were able to discover that Hip Tanakathe composer behind Earthbound Beginnings and Earthbound, has confirmed that he performed the musical arrangements for the battle themes
We leave you with his words:
I wrote those battle themes first, before I looked at the graphics and characters. When Mother was created, RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were very popular in Japan. Music-wise, they all had what I would call a “symphonic” sound and were based on classical orchestration.
So with Mother, I wanted to go against the grain and create a soundtrack for the game that included genres that I personally liked, such as reggae, rock, and techno. I created a number of different battle themes for Mother and then chose the one that best matched the image of the enemies.
