The sound track is actually very good, in my opinion. Many of the pieces are very, very well done, although I will agree that they don't stand out very well. I'm unaware of the composer of FFXII at the moment, but I can say that s/he has nothing on Yamaoka or Uematsu.

So far, only one track has enthralled me enough to seek it out on Limewire, that track being the one that plays in the Viera village that lies west of the Ozmone Plains.
