Andriasang just posted a link to the Square Enix Music Blog showcasing samples of the new music in 1.19

Really loving what I'm hearing! Apologies if this is posted already, could not find a thread about it.

Majestic!
Really hope the songs actually sound like they fit the game this time.

Wow, this sounds incredible!

Anyone who complained that the music thus far has been too "rock-inspired" is in for a treat. :D

Nice. Is that a new fanfare I hear at the end? I wonder what that will be used for.

sounds good, but are there two different chocobo melodies? (one for rental one for personal?)

either way, awesome+1 (lots of epic sounding music in that demo reel!)

AWESOMENESS OVERLOAD

Oh my. This game is heading so fast towards a complete resurrection that it isn't even funny.

Wonder what excuse the haters will scrape from the bottom of the barrel to spin this one negatively.

I love Uematsu's work but yeah, felt like the rock-inspired tracks for this game was just not fitting, personally. This crop of upcoming music sounds perfect to me so far!

Speaking of Uematsu, I saw no mention of his name. Granted, I don't speak Japanese, so I couldn't see if they mentioned the composer at all, but his name wasn't there.

NU has his owns studio and doesn't work for Square Enix. It's likely that for reasons already voiced on these forums and for price efficiency they're having different people compose the new tracks.

While I liked much of NU's work in XIV, I do like this move as the new music still seems to fit the world and it adds more variety to the game.
