Creator/YasunoriMitsuda returned only to compose the ending song, but Shimomura borrowed some of his signature style associated with past ''Xeno'' soundtracks. And, since ''Xenoblade'' is far more of a PlanetaryRomance than previous ''Xeno'' games, her compositions also bear ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' influence.

Yoko Shimomura (born October 19, 1967) has been composing in the video game music industry since the late 1980s.
