Thanks again, then I remembered it wrongly. Sounds like Sakuraba had all MIDI data even by the other composers, and one of the programmers (who also touched the sound driver) or sound designer Horiguchi did whatever was needed to make it work for the port. It's notable that after Hatsushiba and until Ikegami somewhen between Eternia and Destiny 2 the Tales series (and Wolfteam/Telenet as a whole) had no dedicated sound programmer and the original Destiny essentially ran on stock General MIDI driver. So it's not farfetched that Phantasia PS1 actually has the verbatim unchanged MIDIs by the composers, while Phantasia SFC (which had plenty different instrumentation and arrangements) was optimized by Hatsushiba during the conversion to the system.
