Generally I was never a huge fan of the FFXI soundtrack / Naoshi Mizuta to begin with, as it felt like a step backwards from Nobuo Uematsu's contributions and, especially given the platforms, sounded almost like midis in a lot of ways. I mean the harmonies were good, I own all the soundtracks, and it did its job in the game, but comparatively? Meh. I'm very glad we've got Nobuo taking care of XIV.
Also, I'm amused that I have similar feelings for XI despite it being maybe my 4th or 5th MMO. I think its because it was so similar to my first (EQ1) that I developed the same fondness. Maybe XIV will finally do the same. :approve:
