I'm not sure you know a certain detail about Mr. Sakimoto yet.

The OST uses the sound as done by Sakimoto, not as actually used in-game.
Sakimoto almost always uses much more superior equipment than what the games allow (not capable of, but allow). An example of this is Final Fantasy Tactics Advance; the second CD is a "full sound version" which is probably the way Sakimoto originally did the music.
