Anyway, I can agree on Hitoshi Sakimoto's work sounding the same for the most part. A few of his soundtracks actually do sound different from his FF work though, but what does sound similar I still think is very well done. I like him, so whatever.
I agree. I think there a lot of his work can sound similar, but when it is that good, why deviate? He is probably my favorite VG composer. The soundtracks to FFT, VS, and FF XII sounding alike kind of fits for me. They all take place in the same universe after all. I really dig Radiant Silvergun's track, and as you mentioned before Sayck, Gradius V and BoF DQ had excellent tracks. I think his music fits the atmosphere and themes of the games they are present in more so than many composers. His work always does a great job of representing the gravity of the situation during boss battles.
