Yep.
I'm glad hes not. XI's music was very good, but the combat/boss themes were pretty generic and a letdown for me. However the boss themes for ARR are outstanding in comparison. Also, XI followed a similar 'light' theme for most of it's music, which made the experience feel very samey to me. A few pieces stand out, like Fury or Awakening, but the rest sounded very similar in so many ways for me. I'm happy with 2.0's direction on music save normal battle music. 1.0's were definitely better.
