-Musics ARE different from Uematsu's, that's a given. For some reasons, it reminds me of the work of Howard Shore for the "Lord of the Rings" movies, not the music itself, but the way it works with the game. They are definitely more "movie music" than Uematsu's, now is that a good thing or a bad thing is up to anyone's jugement. You can already order the OST online, or at least listen to some of it from various sites online (of course, if you like it, don't download, buy!
). I almost prefer that soundtrack, especially when listening to the CDs without playing the game (the opening theme, the "Hope" Symphony, "Destiny") - I love Uematsu's work when playing, but I wouldn't play the CDs over and over.
Uematsu's composed the featured song by Angela Aki though, so he's not completely absent from the game
Hope it helps some!
