But with FFX, it's like he didn't have to overuse his creativity, and so there was way less suckage by him and the other two guys. Multi-composer soundtracks just kinda rule.
I feel the exact opposite. Multi-composer soundtracks rarely develop an individual identity in the way that a strong single-composer soundtrack does. I also felt that FFX's music, particularly Uematsu's work, was inconsistent in quality. FFVIII has some exceedingly bland music, but overall has a strong, coherent flow in the way thay FFX never did.
