I hope, if you were considering getting the soundtrack, my enthusiastic endorsement might be the tipping point for you. Though IвЂ™m tempted to go track-by-track on this mammoth four disc set, IвЂ™m going to remain (relatively) brief. This gives me great hope for MizutaвЂ™s future as a composer. But, perhaps with the help of an incredible sound/recording team, MizutaвЂ™s compositions for XIII-2 shocked me. MizutaвЂ™s also had moments of sheer weakness as a composer (see: Blood of Bahamut). MizutaвЂ™s career at Square Enix is mostly comprised of the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI and its expansions: enjoyed by some, but not with nearly the appeal that Uematsu, Sakimoto, and now Hamauzu have enjoyed as standard-bearers for the seriesвЂ™ music. Impressionist electronica? ThatвЂ™s possible?! You bet your sweet face it is.Д«ut the big surprise with this soundtrack is that a great many tracks were actually composed by underdog Naoshi Mizuta. And, joined by Square Enix in-house sound guy Mitsuto Suzuki for composition, it was a match made in heaven. Hamauzu defined himself, once again, as an incredible mass-appeal composer with last yearвЂ™s score for Final Fantasy XIII. No one should have doubted that XIII-2вЂ™s soundtrack had a shot at greatness. In the land of the rising sun, a latecomer just cut any possible competitors down to size. In the world of Western RPGs, 2011 has two top contenders for best music: Deus Ex Human Revolution and Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. 08 вЂ“ LightningвЂ™s Theme ~Unguarded Future~
