This piece was originally an impressive track on the Final Fantasy V soundtrack on this soundtrack it shines as well, being one of the most memorable. Other newly composed tracks are 'Chocobo' and 'Clash of the Big Bridge.' While 'Chocobo' is decent and well paced, it is 'Clash on the Big Bridge' that truly stands out. Sakimoto has composed his own variation of the main theme titled 'Final Fantasy.' This piece is grand and flowing, especially compared to the original style of the piece. Though this soundtrack is mainly Sakimoto's work, he does give quite a few nods to Uematsu and his earlier Final Fantasy pieces. Every piece stands on its own, and while this is not completely a bad thing, the soundtrack does lack a cohesive structure. Also the fact that there is no recurring theme to tie things together is a minor downfall. While most all of the pieces are pleasant, few seem to reach out and grab the listener. One minor problem seems to be with the lack of many standout tracks. Sakimoto's style is larger than life throughout most of the soundtrack, and it comes together quite well. Many of the tracks sound as if they have come straight out of a movie score, not a video game soundtrack. Uematsu is not completely out of the picture as he composed the main vocal theme of Final Fantasy XII, 'Kiss Me Good-Bye.'įinal Fantasy XII's 100 track offering is one of the grandest of the series. While Sakimoto takes the lead on this work, he is joined by Hayato Matsuo, Masaharu Iwata, and to a lesser extent Nobuo Uematsu, Tarô Hakase, and Yuji Toriyama. For some, this change is a welcome one, for others a disappointment. With the Final Fantasy XII OST, the musical reigns of Square Enix's flagship series have been handed over from Nobuo Uematsu to Hitoshi Sakimoto.
