I thought the same thing when I heard the mixes of these two tracks. They sound pretty awful and are not even mixed right (entire parts are drowned out, especially on Seymour). He would have been better off de-mixing these into SNES-style synth. His rock instrumentation has been unappealing since Blue Dragon (and this is coming from a general fan of that style in VGM). He legitimately cannot recreate his magic on NES/SNES or even Playstation with whatever he's using now.
