I never said that XII's soundtrack was on par with Uematsu's best (which for me are VI, VII and VIII). It isn't, but not because Sakimoto's much worse than Uematsu, but because it wasn't Sakimoto's best. I consider FFT's soundtrack better than any soundtrack ever composed by Uematsu (in fact, better than any soundtrack EVER except for Suikoden II, which are tied), so I know Sakimoto can be as great as Nobuo (he may need Iwata at his side, though).

 

Not a fan of IX's music? j/k

Now that we started talking about soundtracks you got me all worked up! VG music just makes me horny!

I have never played any Suikoden, but since you seem to think that the soundtrack is superior to Uematsu stuff, I might just pick up a few of those... any suggestions?

 

Actually, now that you say it, I think that the Battle theme and Boss battle theme in IX are (with V's Battle theme) the best Uematsu has composed. I can't say I remember much of the rest of the soundtrack though.

About the Suikoden soundtrack, do you mean individual themes? Check the link in my sig (the Suikoden round), and download the Mp3 there is, those are 10 songs (cut to 30 seconds each, though) I picked from the series. I'll think some more for you

That was pretty good stuff.

And for overall themes Uematsu has composed I have to say, I prefer Cosmo Canyon from VII. But for battlethemes I like IX's as well.
