Classi5ed’s Lie of Caelum: Spirit, a PSX-style sci-fi mecha JRPG drawing on Xenogears and Phantasy Star, has successfully funded on Kickstarter, clearing its $34,000 goal and currently sitting at over 164% funded with time still on the clock. Scarlet Moon handled PR for the campaign, and the soundtrack features a guest contribution from Motoi Sakuraba (Dark Souls, Tales of, Star Ocean), who is represented by Scarlet Moon Artists.
The guest song brings Sakuraba back to a sound he knows well: the Phantasy Star series (including Phantasy Star Nova and the Phantasy Star Online Premium Arrange album) was one of the project’s main inspirations, alongside composers Kurippertronixxx and Mushra (Seed of Nostalgia).
“I’m glad to be part of Lie of Caelum: Spirit as a guest composer. I always enjoy games with a strong, unusual world behind them, and Lie of Caelum’s story sounds like just that kind of project. If backers reach this goal, I’ll do my best to write music that fits what the team is building,” says Motoi Sakuraba.
