No, it is actually the same thing if you ask me.

After some listening, I recognised some plagiarism of Uematsu to its own work. Not only that instance but listen also to :

The Land Shark is coming which has the famous "F-E" notes from the old classic FF battle themes.

Dragon Fight has the same pattern as "Still More Fighting" from FFVII

Mystery of the Ancient Machine actually sounds awfully inspired by Musica Machina from FFV.

Challenge sounds exactly like Hunter's Chance from FFIX

An Omen sounds like the music at Oeilvert in FFIX

Nene's Paradise uses the same chords as Kuja's Theme and as Tyrano Castle (which is From Chrono Trigger) and uses some "Maybe I'm A Lion" elements.

Other than that, it's overall a good soundtrack. It is not the best Uematsu I heard but it does the job. The theme for the game might be one of the best tracks of the CD.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Upon further listening, An Ancient Fortress incorporates the entire main melody of the oppressed town theme from FFVI.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

An Uneasy Night sounds eerily similar to Steiner's Theme from FFIX... I like the OST. It's very good, aside from a couple of tracks.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Which is an arrangment of the Empires theme lots of old uematsu references here, but still somewhat.....fresh sounding.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Since it hasn't been mentioned, I'll give a shout out for track 213 Mecha-Robo Corps Charge, which is quite enjoyable. (start at 20 seconds in)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
