I think that was probably due to the declining quality without as much of Nobuo's input, but also the lack of nostalgia. Memorable game music comes from hearing the track and thinking of a long distant moment in a game that it reminds you of, and FFXII and XIII are in too recent memories with too few magnificent set pieces to spark as many emotions, imho anyway.
The list itself is pretty damn good though. Terra's Theme, Liberi Fatali and Dancing Mad are all very good choices. I would have much preferred Vamo Alla Flamenco over Fiddle de Chocobo but that's personal preference for you!
