Sorry, major difference of taste between us. Those XI battle tracks were terrible. The Flowers on the Battlefield song is amazing though.

But I feel you on your dislike for the electric guitar tracks. They're not as annoying to me as the instrumentation of the XI battle tracks, but as a whole they're pretty bad.

What they SHOULD do, is get Masashi Hamauzu to do the battle tracks, as obviously he is feeling it when it comes to grandiose battle themes. Check out Blinded By Light, the XIII battle theme.
