Whaaa? Hitoshi sakimoto has amazing battle music man, check it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG_RA...eature=related Another Vagrant Story track
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_OsdjIdSpw Final Fantasy Tactics (and tthis game is full of awesome tracks)

I'm pretty sure Hitoshi could do awesome on battle themes (Even though it might not be your taste)

I thought you were (very succesfully) kidding initially..

Final Fantasy XII has prolly the worst sountrack I heard on a final fantasy with only Kiss me Goodbye, the main theme, the song you posted and the bgm at Ridorana Pharos really standing out. It's a good sountrack but imo it's not the ost you're gonna remember or buy and listen regularly because it has a lack of "standing out riffs" (dunno how to exactly state it)

Who ever is complaining about FFXIV ost is out of their "kweh" mind. FFXIV's music sits on top XI music in some angle and particularly the solo/dungeon ones. If anything that needs changing is limsa's sound track. That sound track annoys me the most.

Get back to me when it beats out:

I like XIV's music, but I honestly don't think it fully gives the fantasy feeling that FFXI did. We all have our tastes, but honestly, XI's really brings out the feel of each storyline.

FFXIV is defeated by the Nostalgia factor.

Lol agreed. Both XI and XIV has some great tracks and some that aren't that great. While XI has some very memorable tracks (and I don't discredit FFXI's OST in the slightest) I do feel XIV is a tiny bit better, just personal preference though.

You do realize most of the songs you pointed out were 4+ years into the game, just saying.

One thing I can say about the music is that Nobuo is a super genius. Outside of that, I really don't agree with the usage of electronic instruments in a game with virtually no electricity. It sounds odd. I would think the music should be orchestrated throughout.

[Eekiki]

Here's the thing about Uematsu's music.

Uematsu writes his songs as companions to the scenarios they appear in. Without scenes and worlds that draw out emotions from the players, the songs are just simple songs.

So the problem here isn't with Uematsu's music, so much as it is the drab world it accompanies.

I mean, I can't help but feel a little silly listening to the battle music in this game while I'm fighting a dodo. Especially if it's during a levequest and the one I'm fighting runs away.

Ul'Dah is not the main City because SE planned it, Its a result of the playerbase, To be honest I'm surprised Limsa didnt end up being the primary city.

Yep. U'ldah was more or less "chosen" as the main city by the players, due to it being centrally located.
