There was only a handful of good songs, sadly.
Opening Movie, Ending Movie, The Skycity of Bhujerba and Nalbina Fortress Underground Prison were the only standout pieces by Sakimoto, which was something to be expected by him. He did a "standard Sakimoto work" on this, but I was kinda hoping for something exceptional, on the level of Vagrant Story's OST. Sadly, he didn't deliver that.
The other composers' tracks really stand out from the mass by being better and different, alive and organic.
The Gilgamesh battle theme was a funny homage, but didn't really pack the same punch as the original - one of Uematsu's best battle pieces ever. Victory Theme seemed cheesed down, but the Prelude and Final Fantasy main melody weren't as raped as I feared they could've been.
This just doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy, more like a side game following the lines of FFMQ and FFT, having a completely different tone and most likely the game will be such too.
3/5, because I actually wasn't repulsed by anything. Just bored.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
