Basically, the new composer is a high-profile anime composer. So I expect the soundtrack to shine during the game's most cinematic moments.

But in terms of atmosphere, I doubt Xenoblade's soundtrack will be topped. It's just too damn good.

Yeah. With the likes of Gaur Plqins, Mechonis Field, Satorl Marsh, Fallen Arm, Eryth Sea and Colony 9 I doubt he'll be able to top it. I personally felt ACE did a great job with the cutscene music too, like "while I think" and "the night before the decisive battle." So I'm kinda wondering why they got a new one. But I was very fond of the music to the first trailer we got, so I'm not looking dark at it at the moment.

If it's half as good as Xenoblade's soundtrack, that's good enough. ;)

The game did technically have six musicians working together with Takahashi supervising.  All six also had varying levels of involvement.

Yoko Shimomura - First made famous for her Street Fighter II soundtrack, she composed the following tracks for Xenoblade:

  • Main Theme
  • Unfinished Battle
  • Prologue A
  • Prologue B
  • Epilogue
  • Shulk and Fiorung
  • Hometown
  • Hometown / Night
  • Colony 9
  • Colony 9 / Night
  • Fight! 
Yasunori Mitsuda - Best known for composing the Chrono Trigger/Cross and Xenogears soundtracks composed the ending theme: 
  • Beyond the Sky
Manami Kiyota & ACE+ (3 people) - They are relative newcomers to video games but composed the bulk of Xenoblade's soundtrack,
Kiyota (47 tracks) and ACE+ (29 tracks). Full details of who composed and arranged what found here - http://vgmdb.net/album/18946

 

The Iwata Asks is also a very good read if anybody's interested. - http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/xenoblade/0/0

Xenoblade's was one of the greatest video game OSTs I have had the pleasure of experiencing.
If X's is even close to as good, we're in for a treat.
