Lol, WHAT! No, most of the soundtrack was jpop garbage when comparing it to the soundtrack of say ANY of the others. As for the visuals, they were great... For a JRPG. Even when looking at it and comparing games that were released before it, they pretty much looked the same.
Final Fantasy X is their crowning achievement for soundtrack and graphics. X still looked like one of the greatest games on the PS2 even when comparing it to games that came long after it was released.
In my opinion of course.
A few j-pop songs = MOST OF THE SOUNDTRACK
Hate the musics all you want, but stop spreading false information.
Really, dude. I like FFX's soundtrack alot, but FFXIII seems to be about equal overall with FFX.
The Zanakarnd variety tracks are great and Seymour's theme is the best boss battle music out of both games, but the regular boss battle music of FFXIII is definitely better than FFX's. There are many area themes that are of equal or better quality in FFXIII as well.
In your opinion they areabout the same. You forgot about this too.

No, the soundtracks are not "about the same".
You're cherry picking. Try comparing the best of something to the best of the other thing. There are maybe two or three tracks in FFXIII that have a j-pop vibe to it, and Serah's promise version of the FFXIII OST isn't that bad. Chocobos of cocoon is the only one I'd say is bad. Sunleth Waterscape is about half/half. The rest of the soundtrack is masterful, just like FFX's.

Now that I've just counted how many tracks are in the game, 59 I believe, but I might be off by one or two, that's three questionable songs out of 59. One of them we can agree on as being bad while the other two are questionable. So that's one bad song out of 59.
Also Chocobos of Pulse>FFX's Chocobo Theme. Much more jazzy, better percussion sections and the bass just kills. Great drum solo at the end.
