Actually, that would be redundant too.
I agree the redundancy probably isn't what most fans (at least hardcores) wanted. I don't mind too much, though, as I found the earlier Piano Collections too simplistic for stand-alone listening. I would have been happy to hear (and possibly play) more ambitious arrangements of the featured material, whether previously arranged or not.
But unfortunately, I was left disappointed regardless. Nakayama wasn't as ambitious as he was on the fantastic FFI-III album. Dancing Mad leaps to mind, but plenty of other arrangements don't fulfil their full potential either. I also preferred the segmented structure of the earlier release, given it captured the individuality of the games and growth of the series more. The absence of the medleys (the weakest arrangements on FFI-III IMO) is no biggie for me though.
