As a teaser of sorts, Square Enix has added three songs from FFXII to the game's official website.

The songs are the work of FFXII main composer Hitoshi Sakimoto. This will be the first Final Fantasy in which Nobuo Uematsu does not hold that title. As of right now, the titles of the first and third songs are unknown. Song two, however, is believed to be "Ashe's Theme."

The tracks are streamed from the website and cannot be directly downloaded without a hassle. However, one can download them in MP3 form from ffxiionline.com's Music page.

I've only listened to the first two tracks, but I've liked what I've heard thus far. It's a shame that Nobuo Uematsu isn't the main composer for the game, but I'm sure he probably wanted a break after working on all those other Final Fantasy games. Hitoshi Sakimoto was a good choice, in my opinion, to replace him though.

I wasn't too thrilled with the music from X-2 and uematsu didn't do that either, however, from what I hear, this music isn't half bad. I'm still dissapointed its not Uematsu doing it though.

That just goes to show that there's no one who is better then Nobou.
X-2 had bad music, XII suposedly has bad music, but maybe this will turn out better (X-2 wasn't the greatest of FFs neither)

I don't think the music's that bad, but I like all kinds of music.
*off topic section approaching fast*
Now Is it just me, or does this game take the same races and *stuff* (I use that lightly cause i can't read japanese) from Final Fantasy Tactics advance? Anyone else see this? blink.gif

Yeah. It even takes place in Ivalice.
But this isn't the place to discuss it, there are a few other XII topics
