I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Nobuo didnt do the music for FF12. I researched it after playing the game for a couple of hours and thinking to myself, man, this areas music is so miraculously awful. The chocobo music is very lackluster too, unlike previous versions.

However on the whole the music is pretty good, its just some areas its poor.

For the record, I love FFX and I also really like FFXII. I think it's better than some in the series, and equally bettered by some in the series, just as you'd expect.

I do wish there was a card game though.
