Ode de Mitsuda

As you all may or may not know, Yasunori Mitsuda, the musical talent behind Monolith Software is Phasing out of gaming music to work with his non-game music. Basically, he's evaporated from the United States.

Yasunori Mitsuda was the renaissance man of gaming music, defining the fact that music is an integral part of gaming. After all, even First Person Shooters would be boring without a good soundtrack.

Mitsuda also did a favor to all Americans, by giving us a small respite from rap. And, although this may sound somewhat silly, but he actually worked god into his works. The theme to Xenosaga Episode 1 (Der Wille zur Macht) was "Gloria Patriae et Filio," which transilates into "Glory to the Father and to the Son."



Here is a(n incomplete) list of all the games that Yasunori Mitsuda has revolutionized:

Chrono Trigger
Xenogears
Chrono Cross
Xenosaga Episode 1
Radical Dreamers
(unconfirmed) Xenosaga Episode 2 (Jenseits von Gut und Bose)
