As far as I can search, there's only one track, thought you're correct in saying it's three tracks, since it's probably mixing the three to create one soundtrack. Here's my split on it:

0:00 - 0:17 -> An ambient piece, a redo of The Thirteenth Day, if you call it. Vocals, adding an eerie nature.
0:18 - 0:52 -> Piano and orchestra; FFXIII-2's answer to The Promise? Still sounds nice.
0:52 - 2:00 -> Potential battle theme, certainly is upbeat enough to be one.

Hope it helps out, and I hope it'll get confirmed quick who the composer is. :D

It's been translated for a loooooooooong time now. It's called Episode 0 or Episode 1, look it up.

There you go, it was actually the thing that kicked off the XIII-2 speculation pre-announcement.

He says this but i bet he's the same person who loved QTE's in KH.!

I loved the quick time events of FFIX. No battle related, but story driven.

Wishful thinking that they might add them like that.

I loved XIII a lot the battle system was fun it wasn't the same spam attack and cure till win and use limit breaks but so far this game looks like its doing everything XIII didn't do which is good but i completely understood the reason for no cities in XIII go in a city and be hunted like a dog.

Also something a lot of people didn't know there were no shops in xiii even if it was a city everything was micro transactions it says so on the lore under the city where hope is from i forget the name tho.

At least those were in the middle of the "battle"
Also, contextual actions =! QTE

it looks like FFXIII's are going trigger a "scene" for a LB or Summon and then you perform the QTE.
