"There will be classic FINAL FANTASY music arranged for Patch 2.2"

[Tupsi]

Hm, I dunno.. I like most of ARR's music, I believe Soken also does a fair bit of those? I think he's awesome in his own way, too

No..1.0 was Uematsu.

No..1.0 was Uematsu.

ARR is 2.0, no? I know most songs are still Uematsu and he's like my idol for life, but I mean there's not really any songs in the game I hate, so I like Soken's music too.

I never played 1.0, btw. I know my favorite music from ARR is by Uematsu, it was called Steel Reason if I'm not mistaken (the CM livia fight)

Yeah, Steel Reason was Castrum Novum's original theme (the open world Castrum dungeon.) So some of the returning tracks from 1.0 were purely Uematsu's work, think Soken only did the stuff found in patches 1.2x+ like Garuda, Job quest stuff and Darnus Phase 2 song (Rise of the White Raven which was reused for Gaius without the lyrics.) He does indeed compose for ARR, thought you meant the returning songs were what Soken did, which the ones in trailer were Uematsu's.

No, Nobuo Uematsu made 1.0 tracks sadly they totally removed them aside from few remix.
Also Akihiko Yoshida is no more the art director of the game (and in fact all the new areas are really poor in design, they are just full of things, even the sky has too much stars now and can't compete with the high level design of 1.0).

btw, "Battle on Big Bridge" was actually not Gilgamesh theme, but it was actually on event where old Galuf tried to escape through (yes) big bridge before it collapsed. At least, that's how I remember from back playing FF5 on old SNES that day.
But it became popular that it was dedicated as Gilgamesh theme on later series.

This bgm sure makes me miss that old geezer though. Old protagonist guys throughout FF series always has very kewl moment especially when they're dying. XD

Not totaly.
There are still a lot of them ingame, only replaced

As example, the market ward music Supply & Demand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AON2aAf7G8
Or Twilight over Thanalan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...b7_8dpow#t=307

Yeah, making artworks, not caring about the design and feeling of the areas and characters like he always did in 1.0. Basically, not as art director anymore.
Since now, all the new areas are not signed by Akihiko Yoshida or even Minaba. But I hope he will be there again as AD for 2.0 first expansion pack.

After watching the trailer again, I realized what they could be saying as 'classic FF music' is actually the return of some more 1.0 tracks (specifically, Beneath Bloodied Banners, the old battlecraft levequest 'tension' track from 1.0 seems to be returning as the theme for Halatali HM, as least if the video is anything to go by). I'm hoping more 1.0 tracks will likewise continue to return as well (still holding out hope that Piece of Mind, The Forest's Pulse, The Seventh Gate and Navigator's Glory come back later on as well.)

Good point, there were a few 1.0 tracks in the 2.2 preview video. I'm still hoping we get Holy Consult as the theme for Ishgarde

Re-arrnged nonrock versions of 1.0 tunes would be great.

It's such a crime to humanity that Uematsu was replaced by Soken

[Cyrus-Wallace]

Terra's Theme for Magitek Armor mount. I really want it... there's even a formal request about it! And I would like to see an orchestal arrangement of this theme:

Some Hitoshi Sakimoto participation wouldn't hurt too. :P
