Hamauzu had an idea flash in his head right then and there of a song in a major chord, with a chorus that involved a melody with half notes that sounded as if taking one step at a time to climb to the top. Masashi Hamauzu has named "Etro's Champion" his favorite piece from the soundtrack, because he had put a lot of thought into it Hamauzu composed the track right after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and in a meeting with the game's director, Motomu Toriyama, he had asked Hamauzu to write a battle song that would encourage the listener, yet be in the same caliber as the Final Fantasy XIII main battle theme, " Blinded By Light". Masashi Hamauzu didn't consciously decide which parts would carry over from Final Fantasy XIII, but has described the process as natural since the world view is largely the same was in the previous game, so certain motifs would creep into the music at points. After a trip to Hawaii, he asked vocalist ORIGA to sing the accompanying lyrics with the feeling of "walking along a beach". For " New Bodhum", Mitsuto made it based on his time fantasizing about going to a beach.

" Unseen Intruder" was possibly the first track Mizuta wrote for the game, and because it is a rap song, it reflects Toriyama's desire to create music that wasn't "typical Final Fantasy." For " Crazy Chocobo", Toriyama asked for it to be similar to death metal. The use of various vocal themes resulted in the composers being a little more creative and including a lot of their own ideas. When asked about the possible problem of styles clashing, Suzuki and Mizuta said that the direction given by director Motomu Toriyama was to craft something different, which led to the decision of having three main composers creating the game's soundtrack together. Masashi Hamauzu, who composed the soundtrack for Final Fantasy XIII, focused on tracks associated with Lightning and aspects from Final Fantasy XIII, while Naoshi Mizuta composed music connected to Noel, Caius, and Yeul, and Mitsuto Suzuki contributed modern and techno pop music to the soundtrack. With Masashi Hamauzu returning, Toriyama and the producer approached Naoshi Mizuta and Mitsuto Suzuki to create music with the basic concept of "music that's unlike Final Fantasy".įinal Fantasy XIII-2 Original Soundtrack.
