Mitsuda was never terribly prolific at any time. Being a perfectionist, he has always required more time than most to compose a soundtrack. In my opinion, his music is just as good as ever.

I agree that Uematsu's recent music (for FFXIV and Last Story) isn't quite as good as we could have hoped for, but there's certainly no lack of quantity there, and some of it's not bad.

As for Shimomura, she's easily as productive as she's ever been.

It's not as if Sakimoto is composing less, but there are more releases each year with his music on them, and maybe only one of them has a significant amount of it. I'd be happy if someone else from Basiscape could take over Sakimoto's current role so that he can focus on composing soundtracks alone. Hopefully then we'll get something as good as Vagrant Story or Final Fantasy XII again. I know he has the talent for it.
