Wow, I was profoundly impressed by this soundtrack. I had never heard any complete score by Sakimoto, except the occasional Vagrant Story track (but not enough to grasp distinctive features of this author.)
My take on this album is that it's simply fabulous. And I say that even though I have yet to listen to its entirety. It is grandiose, epic, very dense. I have really appreciated this pompous feel it creates and, given the unconventional nature of XII, I'm certain it provides a very moving soundtrack to the narration.
Two tracks I like to great extents so far are Boss Battle, Little Rascal and Phon Coast. Boss Battle is simply gorgeous, especially the part beginning at 0:56. Little Rascal and Phon Coast feature lovely melodies and grand orchestrations.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
