For me it's just not as memorable of songs and not as emotional as the soundtracks I love such as FFVI's, FFVII's, FFIX's, and FFX's. There were just so many songs in each of the 4 aforementioned games that 12's ST just didn't surpass those. That's why it gets a low grade from me. It's going to take a lot to pass my affinity for especially 7 and 10's musical selections.
