haha, i know why you did this , but i agree, even though i am a FF fan, i think people just don't know anyone other than Uematsu.
not saying he is crap, but im just saying he is like The Beatles. way too popular and overshadowing everyone.

Omg yes, I love Ito's work, was just listening to the DoM soundtrack a few days ago. SE needs to give this man more work these days.

I didnt know him since I havent played any of those games, but for me one of the bests with the traditional ones(Uematsu, Shimomura, etc...) is Kow Otani, IMO he did the best work Ive heard in video games OST with shadow of the colossus and he also did Gundam Wing OST.
