Because I'm an idiot and need everything spelled out for me: what does a recording session mean, exactly?

i assume it means they were recording some different version of FFXII songs.

im just gonna pretend it means an FFXII remake/master is in the works but probably isnt

[Formalhaut]

Yeah, recording different versions of FFXII is nothing terribly new.

i'm sure a smarter person will answer your question soon with a more confident answer

I can't imagine this is about anything other than the re-recorded tracks they're going to use in a FF12 remaster.

I mean I guess it could technically be about an entirely new game that will have a score by Hitoshi Sakimoto and is high profile enough to let him spend money with an actual orchestra rather than just using synthesized instruments at his normal workplace, but I doubt it.

Yeah, they don't usually just decide to rerecord a soundtrack for no reason

[Shauna]

Or do they...?

Fair enough, sounds compelling. If it is for a remaster, any idea when they'll announce it? SE has big new releases coming out of their ears.

What, have you never hired a private orchestra to rerecord one of your favorite soundtracks?

Ontopic, somehow I feel like this might be more for a new game than an FF XII remaster. But we'll see.

[sinuosity]

I'll pretty much melt when/if FF12 HD is announced

[DMKA]

Yeah, but nowhere in that tweet is FFXII or any soundtrack mentioned.

Also there have been quite a few FF albums with newly recorded version of tracks for no real reason. :p

Then again this following the announcement of that new Fran statue does make it seem possible.
