It is FFTA, the thenme for Rabanastre is the shop theme from FFTA, the Estersand is that one fight theme.

I'm a minimalist, so I can appreciate the Sakimoto's subtlety. The other thing you have to take into consideration is that this game eliminated random battles. What does that mean for the score? Well, for one, we don't have random battles to break up a catchy boisterous tune looping in the outdoor or dungeon areas. The other thing is that these outdoor and dungeon areas are inherently much longer than previous games, so we'd have even more of those looping tunes. I think the soundtrack is beautiful and completely suitable for the game. I have yet to be dissapointed by anything I've heard.
And you can't really compare Uematsu to Sakimoto. Their styles are so different that it's almost like comparing apples and oranges. Uematsu creates scores that are worlds more melodic and immediately memorable than Sakimoto's tunes, however, that doesn't really mean he's a better composer, or that his works are greater.
I squealed like a school girl when I heard the Prelude, Prologue mixture.
Christ, you're not the only one. That choked me up almost as much as getting "Riskbreaker" rank in Montblanc's clan.
Obsessive (Rear Guard, soon to upgrade T_T)?

Well, I wouldn't say it choked me up, but it was a great feeling! :)Originally Posted by Necronopticous
I have yet to attain this rank, but the news of it's existence made me feel all fluttery in my chest region.
I like it for what it is. It's nothing compared to much of Uematsu's stuff, though. At first, I didn't like the music, but as I keep on going furher into the game I found more tracks I like.
Also, when I first went into Giza Plains, I just stopped dead to listen to the music. However, I found that it blended very nicely into the background when I wasn't actively listening.
That's what I like about Sakimoto's stuff: it's subtle, but it takes on a whole new form if you just listen.
His music is wonderful for this game, it suits the mood of whatever's going on perfectly. The only issue is that almost none of the tunes are very memorable, and even though Uematsu and Sakimoto's styles are worlds apart, I still can hum any of his FFT or FFTA tunes by memory. Still, the music itself is of exceptional quality.
So basically, you can't think the Esper summoning music is bad, m'kay?
I completely disagree. The better the harmonies and the better the melodies, the better the music in my opinion. But, perhaps I'm old fashioned when it comes to music. (like 300 years old fashioned)Uematsu creates scores that are worlds more melodic and immediately memorable than Sakimoto's tunes, however, that doesn't really mean he's a better composer, or that his works are greater.
I started keeping an ear out for good songs I could cite here, but every single song I've heard since then has proven itself worthy. The entire score is just sheer quality from end to end.
Its good music, i'll give it that...but it doesnt want to make me just stand in a town and listen to the music like past games have done for me (such as VIII and IX)...or buy the soundtrack, for that matter...
I bought the soundtrack and wasn't all that impressed; granted, there were some nice tracks, but nothing really grabbed my attention the way that FF8 or FF7 did (not that anything is ever going to beat One-Winged Angel).
The boss battle theme is especially great. It's stuck in my head every time I hear it.
