That tracklist is something of a revelation; I had no idea that Uematsu had composed more than one track, nor that Iwata or the others had done any.
Since I don't want to hear the entire OST until I've played the game, the only thing I have to go on is the 45-min "Best Of" compilation. From what I can tell, the music looks to be quite complex and densely orchestrated, even by Sakimoto's standards, with great synth quality. The only downside to this is that the themes, such as I have heard them, are complex enough not to be as immidiately memorable and catchy as some of Uematsu's best work on the series.
I just wish they'd kept Sakimoto on for XIII. The one thing the series needs right now is consistency.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
