I'm not going to get the game until I get a confirmation that even the original soundtrack is in the game... So I can't really comment that much. However, judging by the tracks I've heard, I prefer the original by far. The remastered soundtrack sounds way too busy and doesn't have a clear identity like the original did. Maybe I'm wrong and the rest of the tracks sound better but this is just my impression.

So, is the original soundtrack in the game or is the remastered one the only one?

Only the remastered one from what I've heard. Atlus did the same thing with the Persona 1 remake, but they gave us an option between the original & new soundtrack for Persona 2. Hopefully Square follows suit with XII.

That's too bad... For varying reasons, I've always got near the end in FFX but never finished it and I'd really like to finish it in something that's as close to the original form as possible, and I think the original soundtrack was a huge part in that. The new one just doesn't seem to impress me. If I could have the choice between old and new, I'd probably play with new too but only after playing it with the original. As it is, doesn't seem like I'm getting the HD version though. A shame, considering I have practically no way of playing the game right now even though I'd really like to. :/

And really, they screwed up the battle theme which ought to be by far the most common track in the game. For that erason, that alone would make me seriously reconsider getting the game, even if they left everything else unchanged or managed to improve even. I just listened to some of the other tracks and not all the new tracks are bad; I still prefer the originals though. I don't really hear improvements either so I'm guessing they went to fix things that weren't broken in the first place just for the sake of fixing and doing something new.
