I like the music, but also was a little puzzled that it broke with the trend of having many orchestral themes, instead having mostly synth. The battle music is some of my favorite of the series, possibly second only to the boss battle themes of FF6-8, so that's a definite high point. Some of the zone music is also very good, but much of it is, though atmospheric, fairly forgettable.

I realize Nobuo Uematsu's a top tier freelance composer now so they probably won't be able to get him to compose many expansion soundtracks, but I hope in the future instead of deciding music by huge sweeping region, instead there are more universal themes that change based on subzones in order to introduce some variety.
