Yes, I know all of those songs. Which just proves my point further. They're Jpop songs put into a video game. Search the composers for Mamoritai - they're Jpop composers, not Tales of... composers. That's all I was getting at. It's different to say... Nobuo Uematsu who writes the songs for these vocalists (or gets his team to do so). Hence why I'd like to see Ayu work with Nobuo Uematsu (or anybody who works like he does) one day because it would be cool to hear her sing a song tailor made for a video game. Hearing a song, and hearing a song over the dramatic scene in a game - as an FF fan I'm sure you'll know - is two totally different things. Would she pull it off?

Kiss Me Goodbye is the worst FF song ever. Period. Angela Aki also did a terrible cover Eyes on Me. I'm not a fan of her at all. Nobuo Uematsu only co-composed FFX, FFXI and one track in FFXII, so that's probably why you've not liked his work - nothing TO like. He did FFXIV, which I've not played, but I've heard a few songs and they sound very FFIX (my fave FF) so I instantly approve.

I get what you're saying Still there are better game music composers out there and as you've said it, I believe that Nobuo is pretty much living off his old fame. I dunno I haven't played XI and XIV for obvious reasons x_X

Angela is better at doing her own songs and I like her a lot though. Still SE seems to be picking the artists who are on the beginning of their careers so I am not sure if Ayu will ever be on their FF radar
