Yeah.. actually mizuta > uematsu imo.
Agree, but to put a finer point on it:

Uematsu's music and Yoshitaka Amano's art are an essential part of the branding in each FF game. But while their respective works each set the tone for the series, they aren't suited for the heavy lifting that is necessary in an MMO.

On the other hand, Mizuta's music and Akihiko Yoshida's art are the perfect style for hours of repetitive play and can fill out the core of the game without being overdone or repetitive.

It's the difference between frosting and cake.
