    According to the Before Meteor and FFXIV ARR OST album booklets, Good King Moggle Mog the XIIth's arrangement was done by Masayoshi Soken (with lyrics written by Michael Christopher Koji Fox, ala everyone's favourite ahriman loremaster Fernewahles), but the original Moogle Theme which it's an arrangement of is of course Uematsu's original composition. And as has already been said, Uematsu first composed the Moogle Theme in 1992 (as Critter Tripper Fritter! on the FFV OST). This silly petty arguement that Soken or Uemtasu have somehow 'ripped off' Danny Elfman just doesn't hold weight I'm afraid, none the less because if they had, SE would never have allowed such a track to be used in the game's soundtrack in the first place.

    This was demonstrated back in the late 90s with FFVIII's development where the track that Uematsu originally composed for the Dollet field exam was declared to be 'too similar' to the main theme for the Michael Bay action film The Rock before the game's development was completed, and thus Uematsu was made to completely replace it with a completely different track (The Landing). Hence, on this fact alone, I just don't believe that SE would risk a lawsuit over similarities in a music track if it really was a blatant copy, especially given SE were throwing everything they could behind FFXIV's reboot. But I digress...
