I dig Sakimoto. My only complaint about him is that his work is uneven. Sometimes you get great soundtracks like Vagrant Story or BoF5, and sometimes you get the "wall of sound" effect like in... well, FF12. Sorry, didn't care for his work there. I had trouble following the harmony in Radiant Silvergun, too, actually. When he's on his game he's great, but a lot of times the actual music gets buried.
"Wall of sound". Now I have a proper term for why 90% of Sakuraba's music drives me crazy. I like it now, but I was hours into Valkyrie Profile before I could actually hear anything in the soundtrack. Distinctive melodies aren't a sin, man.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
