Miles better than 12's, but still miles away from 6 or 4. It reminds me of X's in a lot of ways, which makes sense because one of the composers for X worked on this one. You can tell there's no Uematsu, but the battle theme really stands out.

I just hate how they put random lyrics over certain sonds, especially the Chocobo song. I mean, really? That's just ****ing dumb.

And I can't stand Leona Lewis, luckily I haven't heard the theme yet, and I'm on chapter 12. I miss the victory fanfare too, it definitely should have been in, but I guess they were trying to keep with the feel of the game, which is bleak.
