This recognition led to many game designers and companies recruiting Mr. Sakimoto to compose and arrange music for their projects. When he was just starting out in the field of music, he would write his name as "YmoH.S", an obvious bow to the Japanese electronic group Y.M.O.
In 1997, Sakimoto joined Square and composed the score to "Final Fantasy Tactics" with his long time friend Masaharu Iwata. Later on, in 2000, after completing his work on the action/RPG hybrid title "Vagrant Story", he resigned from Square and once again became a freelance musician. He went on to establish Basiscape, an independent provider of audio and music for video games and other media. After the success of "Final Fantasy Tactics" and Vagrant Story, Square-Enix offered Hitoshi Sakimoto a job composing the score for "Final Fantasy XII" and after its huge success, he expanded Basiscape to meet a growing demand for his compositions.
As the founder of Basiscape, Sakimoto has since been composing for several games and taking commissions from independent companies. He has recently completed music for the MMORPG "Fantasy Earth: ZERO". Basiscape also employs Sakimoto's long-time friend Masaharu Iwata, as well as Manabu Namiki and Mitsuhiro Kaneda.
In 2007, Sakimoto was the composer for the anime series, "Romeo x Juliet".
Announced in May 2008, Hitoshi Sakimoto may begin composing for American video games.

I'm coming up on 40 years of gaming now and this is still my favorite video game song of all-time.

Thank you for your service

XII was such an underrated game. I don't normally do 'lists', but if I did then this one would definitely be in the top 3, no doubt.

@David Pumpkin Zodiac bumped it from trash tier to "tedious but interesting enough to finish" for me
Marlon Solis
2 games in my top 3 are from the Ivalice Alliance games.

I didn't care too much for the original, but the zodiac version to me was a HUGE improvement. Went from middle of the road to top 3 for me.

While it's not quite talked about now I don't think it was underrated at all. The game got solid critic reviews and nailed its sales figures when it released. For its time, pretty well-rated thankfully.

Tho guess not when its put on a rather useless job lol. Ashe as a black mage monk tho ive not tried that. Ill have to test that out on my next play thru.

As a nostalgic FFXII player, can't express how I felt when they used this theme in FFXIV's Viera Playable Race Reveal (/watch?v=N8JE4-T-i0s). It's just plainly awesome.
