You know, it seems that almost everyone who says this mainly has a problem with the lack of battle music, which I can understand, but that doesn't mean the music is lackluster. In fact, there's still plenty of epicness, especially in cutscene music. After receiving my copy of the soundtrack last week, I'll also go on record as saying that this is one of the best soundtracks in the series. Even I'm guilty of not realizing how good it was in game, but it's easily better than half of the soundtracks in the series. I think another big problem people have is that they simply don't notice the music as much. I'l admit that the music doesn't stand out in a scene as much as Uematsu's work typically does. Instead, Sakimoto's themes are more supportive; meant to be more in the background and working with the scene. It doesn't mean it's not a good soundtrack, it's just something different for the series (which seems to be a common theme among the things people don't like about the game in general).Originally Posted by BG-57
For my money, I think Sakimoto's soundtrack perfectly complements the game, and suits the style that Matsuno's games typically have.
