I wasn't that impressed by FFX's soundtrack. To many pianos. In the earlier SNES games, and even into FFVII and somewhat in FFVIII, they used the tools that were available, Synths and what not. Well now they have the ability compose full orchestrated music, which even as a composer is more difficult then being able to sit at a Synth and key in notes change cresendos, all that fun stuff. I mean, with a synth, you can change the key or transition different staffs to be flat or sharp. But now, atleast I think, that they have the ability to actually write the music, go into a studio and record, they try to use that and no use of synths at all. Hence most of the songs in FFX and the one's I've heard on this game use strings and pianos, and even Marimbas. Basically the music sounds less video game like and more movie soundtrack like.

The remake of 'Clash on the Big Bridge' has more of a feel to a movie than it does to a game. Mostly when the Marimba's come in as the lower bassline. Uematsu is prolly repeating some of his past works, but hopeing it will work out because now he has the tools to be a music composer for not just video games, but an entire orchestra. I mean.. If I went from Synths to an Orchestra, I'd want to see how my past works could apply. *stops her stupid bandy talk now.*
