Use more old school FF songs, please!

[Marxam]

Instead of using old songs composed my Nobuo Uematsu why not just hire the guy? Masayoshi Soken is good in his own right but Nobuo is still the best. I still get teary eyed when I hear fisherman's horizon from ff8.

While I LOVE the fact they used the original boss theme from FF6 in the Ultros and Mr. Typhon fight, I'd rather they compose new music than reuse old tracks with more reason than just fanservice (I actually might have loved the Dragon's Neck fight better if Soken put his own spin on the song like with FF2's battle theme, CT [FF3], and ST [also FF3], and Battle on the Big Bridge [FF5, 12], among the several other appearances of music from other games in the series and beyond).

While Uematsu's works in the series has been great for the most part, I've been very happy with Soken's works as the new composer for XIV. He's done a very good job with the music for the game and I really hope Soken continues to compose for all of the expansions musics as well.

Uematsu composed many tracks in 1.0's OST, and at least in my opinion, it was kind of hit and miss (first time I heard Nail of the Heavens for instance... I didn't much like it, which is a bad thing since it's one of the first themes you hear once you got to wander the areas). Many of the original tracks are in ARR as well, so while it's unlikely they'll hire him to write a large portion of the soundtrack again, we still have some of the music he wrote for XIV like Nemesis and The Dark's Embrace.
