He's my favorite game composer, now that Mitsuda seems to have dropped off the scene.
His music is just very stirring and moving, and goes along perfectly with what is happening on the screen. (imo no other game composer can make music fit with scenes/settings the way he does) He also has probably the most distinctive "sound" in game music (along with Sakuraba), and I love that sound. I think an underrated soundtrack by him is Breath Of Fire 5.. I love this because while it's all composed by Sakimoto, you can easily hear the influence from Mitsuda (who was the music director for the game) in most tracks.. a lot of the dungeon tracks wouldn't sound out of place in Xenogears or Chrono Cross.. the whole game is like a mix of Mitsuda + Sakimoto. It also proved that Sakimoto can compose very good music for futuristic-esque games instead of the fantasy/medieval ones he usually does. And FF12, going by the psfs, is probably my favorite work by him so far. Most of it is done in his trademark FFT/Vagrant Story/Radiant Silvergun style, but at the same time it's also very different and much more refined than those games. Jam it back in, in the dark.
