Wow, impressive how inventive this composer is... what's his name? It almost doesn't sound like game music, he's really pushing how much can be going on in the music.
Chocobo funk is awesome. Feels like some of Katamari's tracks. With a huge drum solo -- wow.
The second track goes from more of a FFVI-style brooding war march to more of a traditional orchestral style Dragon Quest theme. Crazy. Assuming it's gameplay background music, which it sounds like, I wonder what area encompasses both feelings?
Listening to the third one... snare drums on the march again, this guy is really evoking FF VI and VII with the music. With some more traditional movie style stuff, some Star Wars in the strings.
The fourth one. Definitely gets your attention; this is going to be something you should listen to. Intro sounds like Joe Hisaishi of Studio Ghibli fame, but with more detailed rhythms. Main melody sounds like something from Chrono Trigger, with that little downward fall of the piano at the end of the first phrase once the melody comes in straight from Terra's theme in FF VI. And then it goes into the main theme of the game, in a mellowed out version. Wait... the whole thing was the main theme, or at least the battle music. Crazzy. A little disappointing that it just goes to the second section and ends. Would like to hear a track where the first theme is more explored.
This is the best FF music I've heard in a while, with a really unique voice that also seems to be an encyclopedia of past Squaresoft games. Getting excited :)

He did 1/3 of the music in FFX and he did Dirge of Cerberus I believe. This is his first big time solo job.
