Looks great, sounds awful. There's no excuse for using such low-quality orchestral samples on a big franchise like this. Setting aside them being too cheap to record a live orchestra... I mean, hobbyists use better-sounding samples than that.
Game looks great otherwise, but this music is a huge disappointment.
Something about the music owner loving MIDI and forcing it to be used over the orchestra in the west, but Japan has the orchestra......
DQXI doesn't have orchestral in Japan either.
The ones that did SE had negotiated and paid for it, same when DQVIII PS2 got it in the west.
They probably tried with DQXI, but likely couldn't come to an agreement.
