It’s not just the variety of genres, however, that makes Final Fantasy XIII-2’s OST standout, but also the use of genre splicing. There are roughly 10 tracks in the OST that are used in battle, and they all give off a different vibe. In the battle themes alone, there is a huge amount of variety. However, what sets XIII-2 apart is it’s shear variety, likely thanks in part to the addition of the two composers Naoshi Mizuta and Mitsuto Suzuki. The original Final Fantasy XIII is also praised for having a great soundtrack, and Final Fantasy XIII-2 sounds comparable in some ways to the style of its predecessor. It was composed by Masashi Hamauzu, Naoshi Mizuta, and Mitsuto Suzuki, and it stands very much toe-to-toe with the works of Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy I-IX, plus many others), Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy XII), and Yoko Shimomura (Final Fantasy XV). Keeping this in mind, I don’t speak lightly when I say that Final Fantasy XIII-2’s music is just that phenomenal. There may not be another series of games that has set such a high standard for quality video game soundtracks than the Final Fantasy series, so standing at the top of that is truly a great honor.
