    One thing I think is important to mention, is that Yu-Peng Chen has not been alone in composing for the game since Inazuma’s soundtracks, with many other composers writing many of the tracks as well. Yu-Peng continued to write most of the main motifs and biggest tracks, however. I’m not really worried about the quality of the music going forward myself, as the others have also written some great tracks and motifs. The reoccurring motif in “The Caress of Three Mothers” in the Vourukasha Oasis is one of my favorite recent ones, composed by Yijun Jiang.

    Given his comment about Fontaine, and with him composing less and less tracks with each update, he might not have been involved with Fontaine’s music. Personally, I’ve loved Fontaines score so far, and am looking forward to what the other composers bring to the table.

    That being said, his work on the game cannot be understated, and his scores for the series have been nothing less of iconic. Will really miss hearing his new themes for areas.

    If anyone else is interested about a composer / arranger breakdown for music in the series, the Fandom wiki has full credits for all the released tracks. Album List Here!

      Thank you for this comment. I wasn’t aware that Yu-Peng Chen wasn’t as involved in recent OSTs as in earlier ones. That’s kind of relieving to hear.
