Like Square just said "hey let's change the theme for western audiences" and slapped someone else's song in the game.
Also, I heard that the theme being replaced was the only Uematsu song in the game, being a rapid Nobuo fanboy, I'm a little mad about that.
That song is not Nobuo's. Nobuo was supposed to compose the theme song, but in the end he didn't. However, he will compose the entirety of the FFXIV soundtrack.
As for the song, it's pop.
Be it jpop or western pop, I don't consider pop actually music. It's not a large part of the game, so it's not that big a deal, but pop will stay an unnecessary waste of brainspace in my eyes.
