"At the time, ambient music was very popular, so I wanted to try incorporating ambient, and also world music as my touchstones. Nevertheless, despite my thematic intentions, I ended up getting a lot of requests for specific types of songs for certain scenes. They wanted Arabian music for the desert area, or rock and roll for the scene where you enter a club and there's a band playing. And for the overworld where you're walking around, they wanted music that would feel like its spurring you onwards."
