Really misleading headline.
Yeah, if they're the only people from these games involved, that's more than a bit ridiculous.
This game involves staff from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Namco's Tales, Shining Force, Mario Golf and Star Ocean!
Also, that's just one person and he makes music.
I absolutely love Terranigma, it's one of my all time favorite RPGs, but I don't think the soundtrack was particularly noteworthy, especially compared to all the great things that game had to offer.
The really interesting things about that game were the combat and the whole world creation & development that you did.
A good score can definitely change a game to me, but yeah if you're going to claim "staff" from legendary games I'd assume more than one guy, and people who had a hand in design.
I know and like lots of games scored by Sakuraba, and not that I don't like his music but... I don't know, it tends to sound very same-y and almost random at times. Especially in that 00's era. There was a corny melody pattern he put in all of his big themes at the time, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, Golden Sun all had it somewhere, and I couldn't hear anything else when it happened.
That said, when it works, it works and it's pretty unique. True Mirror and Valedictory Elegy from Baten Kaitos are very good, and a perfect fit for their games.
