Whoa, I knew it was louder than most albums I own, but when I pulled up images of the WAVs...you're right! Shame, too, I see that Mitsuda was the mastering engineer. He's done a much better job since then, luckily. The mastering on the Xenosaga reprint, the Soma Bringer soundtrack, and Colours of Light was also done by him, and much more reasonably.
