Music of Final Fantasy X-2
The music of the video game ''Final Fantasy X-2'' was composed by Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi. Regular series composer Nobuo Uematsu did not contribute any of the music, despite having composed the majority of the soundtrack for the first game, ''Final Fantasy X''. The ''Final Fantasy X-2 Original Soundtrack'' was released on two Compact Discs in 2003 by Avex. After the release of ''Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission'', an album entitled ''Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission Original Soundtrack'' composed of the songs added to the soundtrack for that game was released in 2003 by Avex. ''Final Fantasy X-2 Piano Collection'', a collection of piano arrangements of the original soundtracks by Noriko Matsueda, Takahito Eguchi, Hiroko Kokubu, Masahiro Sayama, and Febian Reza Pane, was released by Avex in 2004.
A single by Koda Kumi entitled ''real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba'', based on the theme song for the game and the ending credits song, was published by Rhythm Zone prior to the game's release in 2003. Another single, titled ''Eternity ~Memories of Waves and Light~ Music from Final Fantasy X-2'', was released by Avex in 2003 along with the original soundtrack. It consisted of live arrangements of several of the game's songs, composed and arranged by Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi. A set of three singles entitled ''Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collection- Paine'', ''Rikku'', and ''Yuna'' was published by Avex in 2003, with each single including vocal arrangements of songs from the game, sung by the respective character's voice actress.
The soundtrack received mixed reviews from critics; while several felt that the music was good and keeping in tone with the game, others found it to be odd and shallow. Several reviewers attributed the change to the lack of participation by Uematsu. ''Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission Original Soundtrack'' and ''Final Fantasy X-2 Piano Collection'', on the other hand, were very well received by critics, who felt that they were far superior to the original soundtrack. The singles for the soundtrack were poorly received by critics, who found a few of the songs to be enjoyable but all of the singles to be overpriced.
==Concept and creation==
''Final Fantasy X-2'' marks the first soundtrack where former Square composer Nobuo Uematsu did not contribute a single piece, despite having composed the majority of the soundtrack for the predecessor, ''Final Fantasy X'', as he was already busy with other projects.〔 None of the pieces from the ''Final Fantasy X'' soundtrack were re-used in ''X-2''. Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi were brought on board to compose the music for the game, as the developers felt they were the "perfect fit" to incorporate a "pop" style into the music.〔 The game includes two songs with vocalized elements, one of which, the J-Pop song "Real Emotion", was written by Ken Kato and composed by Kazuhiro Hara. The other, J-Pop ballad "1000 Words", was written by scenario writers Kazushige Nojima and Daisuke Watanabe. Matsueda and Eguchi composed and arranged the track. Both songs were sung by Jade Villalon from Sweetbox in the English version of the game, and are available as bonus tracks on the Japanese release of her album Adagio.〔 In the Japanese version of the game both the songs were sung by Koda Kumi, and were released as a single entitled ''real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba''. Kumi also released her own English versions of the songs on her CD single ''Come with Me'', with slightly different versions of the lyrics than Jade.〔
