Why is it that every Final Fantasy game has crap quality music. What I mean is that they all sound like they should be on NES or SNES, not the new systems out there. I remember the first time I played FF VII, first RPG since Dragon Warrior(NES), and only seconds after the nifty intro I see Cloud and company jump off the train and beat up some guards, and nearly threw up when I heard the sound when Cloud(I think it was Cloud) kicked the guard. Then I noticed the quality of the music, it was horrid. I thought the music was well written but when you compare Aeris's theme from the game to the orchestrated version, you'll never like the game music again. I thought it would stop after VII but VIII did more of the same, slightly better, with the begining and ending music in full orchestra being the exception(which are GREAT!!!). The reason I bring this up is because I was recently listening to tracks from FF XI and it's more of the same, intro is good but the rest is not the same quality. To me video game music is VERY important, and when it doesn't hold up it can wreck the experience.
Rouge Leader on the GC is another example.
