THE only thing that can make FFXIII better is: (no spoilers)

[Sean]

Nobuo.

Where the **** are you in my crucial moments? I needed you to be there to capture my heart in the scenes that were most pertinent, etc.

**** you, Leona. Where are you, :

Quick note: That song is by an independent remixer named Ailsean, not Black Mages. You can find that on ocremix.

Moving on, I'd agree, I do miss Nobuo in 13, and whoever has been doing the work on the FF series is kinda lacking, but... Lost Odyssey's soundtrack didn't hold a candle to previous works by Nobuo, I mean, I went into the game KNOWING it was Nobuo, and still nothing really grabbed me like, say, Phantom Forest, Terra's Theme, VII's boss theme, even some of X's music which wasn't even done by Nobuo. =\
