Rhythm Encounter 134 – Masashi Hamauzu Spotlight

Rhythm Encounter 134 Masashi Hamauzu - art from FFVII Remake, FFXIII, Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon, and Legend of Legacy

Whether or not you need an introduction to Masashi Hamauzu’s music, we’ve got something for you. From some well-known to lesser-known Final Fantasy pieces to some classic Square Enix games, our panel dug in to ensure we covered a lot of ground in Hamauzu’s history as a composer and arranger. So join us as we discuss fantasies, legacies, remakes, a guy named Todd, and way too much about how we’re meant to pronounce “Archylte.”

Featuring: Mike Salbato, Patrick Gann, Zach Wilkerson, Greg Delmage; Edited by Paul Dennis
