About my statements on Uematsu's involvement, I got my information about Final Fantasy XI from the retrospective linked in another thread on this site stating that he did about half the work on the original but none of it on the expansions.

As for Final Fantasy XII, according to the credits, he composed one song. This song had lyrics written by someone else. But at least four of his previous songs were used. The Prelude, The Prologue, The Fanfare, and Clash On The Big Bridge. So, what the other composers had to do is make it fit. Make it sound like Uematsu. They failed at this in Final Fantasy X-2. They didn't even try. My point was to show how it could be done as it was in Final Fantasy XI and XII, and that they chose to make the music not fit.

I believe I was perfectly clear on this in my first post, but maybe I wasn't.
