I think it's more like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, really. Actually, at least one song (maybe more) is from FFTA unless these ears o' mine deceive me. :P

To be honest, I'm kind of tired of Uematsu now. He's been great, but a lot of his work in the more recent Final Fantasys (except IX) has been a bit... blah. It's pretty much been downhill since VI. I'm digging Sakimoto's work so far. It's rare that I conciously think "Wow! This song REALLY fits the mood of this area well!" but I did that at (SPOILER)Nalbina Fortress yesterday.
