A new retro-style JRPG called Tako no Himitsu has been announced, boasting an impressive line-up of developers from notable franchises. Deneos Games is leading the charge, following their successful title Save Me Mr Tako.

The game will feature music by Motoi Sakuraba and Masanori Hikichi. Scheduled to launch on Kickstarter on July 10th, the project is anticipated to captivate JRPG enthusiasts.

What are your thoughts on the involvement of such experienced developers in a Kickstarter project? Would you support this game to see it through development?

Oof, I can't agree with this at all. Departure is one of my favorite tracks from the whole era, and the ending song was also excellent. I felt the soundtrack did a lot of heavy lifting to carry the game's somber tone.

Notable though that Miyoko Kobayashi was on "Departure," not Hikichi. Hikichi only had a few tracks on the game.

I did not meant they were bad, most songs just never stood out for me and I think I only had maybe a couple stuck in my head for a while. There's other games that have soundtracks that play within my head even decades later and that's not something Terranigma achieved, unfortunately. Yes, the songs served its purpose to set the mood but ultimately I think the soundtrack was nothing groundbreaking and certainly not on par with the rest of the game's excellence.
