Default SSCX-10083~4: FINAL FANTASY TACTICS ADVANCE Original Soundtrack

I removed the arranger credits mostly because all of the artists were listed as composers on the booklet, but it also didn't help that how much Uematsu, Ohkoshi and Saso were involved in the final versions were unclear; their tracks on the Full Sound Version disc sound so similar to Sakimoto's style that I've long suspected those were rearranged by him or at least rerecorded with his synthesizers/samplers. It remains a matter of speculation, but makes me think we shouldn't add the unprinted credits which could potentially be misleading.

(technically speaking, Sakimoto might deserve the credit given the fact he did the conversions to the GBA versions, but as we traditionally didn't consider synthesizer manipulators as arrangers, I removed him too).
