Shoji Meguro, renowned for his work on the Persona series, has created a unique soundtrack for Atlus' 'Metaphor: ReFantazio', blending various styles to reflect a high fantasy theme. His battle theme is particularly notable for its innovative rhythms and original language chanting inspired by Esperanto. Following the game's success, Atlus is releasing a vinyl soundtrack that captures the essence of the game's party members, featuring new artwork. An exclusive interview reveals Meguro’s creative process and challenges in ensuring the music remains engaging for players.
"For the battle theme, I was tasked by the development team to create something commanding and eccentric. With that in mind, I started doing my research and I came across a monk by the name of Keisuke Honryo."
"The chanting itself is in an original language with inspirations of Esperanto. One of the greatest challenges of the song is being able to sustain a fast rhythm while reading, and Keisuke executed it beautifully."
