Totally. I see a ton of FFXII in this game. Little things from zonelines, to big things such as the music.
The more Ivalice influence the better.

What is subjective taste? Do i win Jeopardy?!
That said it took two listens to really get the memorable melody part but that is okay. Ivalice with actual battle tracks? Im good with it (even if prefer Nobuo its almost like i can like two types of things!).
I feel your being a bit harsh, i did like the old gridania music better but won't really fit anymore if grid isn't in a dense dark magical forest.
To me it doesn't feel like Nobuo music but it still good, it sound more like TES and Blizzard ambiant sound music and i do like it. I wish they would bring back Nobuo and Naoshi Mizuda back for the new tune :3 though. At least they said they keep the entire music from 1.0.
But Mizuta is working on some of the music. Him, Yamazaki, Sekito, and Soken have all been credited according to varying sources. I'm curious if Tanioka is involved myself.
Frist grass and now this?
Am I the only one who gets faint glimpses of the original Gridania theme throughout this new theme? Especially the horn and beginning minute or so, it seems that they re-arranged the few key phases of the original Gridania theme. It's subtle, but somehow it connects for me...Maybe I'm just imagining things.
Have to say though, the length is a welcome change. 4-5 minutes of footage, and the track hasn't looped once, though it was close to (ending of footage had similar motifs to the beginning of footage).
^ I agree.
I watched the second alpha video as soon as it went up, and I still have Grid's new theme stuck in my head. Although I like 1.0's version a little bit more, the new version is definitely not garbage. :x
Now I'd love to hear Ul'dah and Limsa's new tracks...
