With the long anticipated release of Metaphor: ReFantazio, now is a great time to look back at the eclectic history of its composer, Shoji Meguro, and see what we can find out about the constantly evolving Meguro Sound.
NOTE: If you are worried about Metaphor: ReFantazio spoilers, I only show footage from the opening hour or so of the game.
