Huh? The game was released all the way back in 2006, and went from a P2P to F2P structure after it was severed from the PlayOnline, FF 11 came out in 2003, and 14 has just been started.

The game is being localized for the western audience by Gamepot only recently, so how could this game have been affected by either one?

As for the composer, wiki the name "Hitoshi Sakimoto". He's done Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, Odin Sphere, and various other games. Simply put, the guy does damn good work, he just isn't as well known as Nobuo Uematsu
