Tracklist and samples for Disc 2 and 3 are up! One more to go. From what I've heard I really like the arrangements, even if they stay pretty close to the original. Sounds like Sakuraba is staying in his recent Tales of comfort zone instead of experimenting with new sounds this time.
Sorry to be the one, but as far as recent Square Enix remasters went in terms of musical upgrade (Live a Live, the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series, etc.) I would have LOVED they included a few more live instruments, exept his usual prog-rock ensemble. I wonder if they didn't have the budget or if it was a directional decision. The music clearly would have benefited from that! Those voice samples of "Mist began to form" or "Theme of RENA" aren't really my thing to be honest. One of my favorites so far is "Dynamite", which benefits greatly to the original version.
I never played the original game so I'm really looking forward on playing this release.
