this is my first time posting I thought I would reply to this since i compose/create music.
I wouldn't be hard for a composer to write the Score in a program Like Sibelius then have that recorded into a Sequencer program with the eq and reverb just right and delay. You could use GPO or Giga sampler(and others), for complete realistic sounds and compress the waves to mp3. your right about the mixing and mastering of Audio though, it is simply a monumental task in it's self, and requires a lot of listening and knowing your gear that you are working with.
Looks like they recorded each instrument seperately probably as it's own track then did the mixing, I am sure they then had all the mixes burned down and compressed to whatever format they wanted it to be in? mp3? mp4? who knows^_*
In actuality you could do it all on your computer with samples and someone wouldnt' be able to tell the differnce, even some orchestra scores.
just my little info here. I do look forward to this game. It has a unique approach to the rpg market.
