Really, a better discussion would be to categorize the types of music:

Best Overworld Music: FF5's merged worlds theme
Best Battle Music: FF15
Best Generic Boss Music: FF4
Best Special Boss music : Battle On the Big Bridge from FF5, Battle to the Death from FF6 is a near second
Best Final Boss Music: FF7
Best Town Music: FF8 Balamb Garden, Black Mage Village is 2nd place
Best Dungeon Music: Phantom Forest / Cave in the Veldt from FF6
Best Airship Music: Hilda Garde from FF9 (but most airship music is bad, tbh)
Best Feature Song (aka the one with vocals): Answers from FF14
Best Game Over Music: FF1
Best Character Theme Song: Gau from FF6
Best Ending Music: FF6
Best Chocobo Song: FF4's Black Chocobo music

I'm sorry this is not how you say "Everything from Tactics and Six"

Especially

Best Overworld Theme: Terra's theme
Best Generic Boss Music: The Pervert~ (Lucavi Demon Battle Theme)

I mean seriously. The Pervert. It writes itself.

fakedit: Also I am coming to learn that fridge corn is the Belzac of this thread.

If killing 5 X is a dealbreaker for you it's probably good you stopped where you did, I love FFXIV a lot but it occasionally pulls much more annoying moves than that.

Evil Empire is invading politically conflicted land which is also dealing with rear end in a top hat invaders from another dimension and a near-constant swarm of mad gods.

True #winning is running away from every encounter and come up with increasingly convoluted ways to avoid gaining experience.

The plot is pretty bluntly a giant mix of various FFs, yeah, but it works out pretty well for what it is and has a surprising amount of effort put into the worldbuilding.

IIRC, the FFTA soundtrack had one disc with the music as you'd hear it on the GBA and another disc with higher quality versions of the songs.

FFTA had a really sick arranged album called "White", but it must have been insanely rare or something because it was hard to find rips on youtube for a long time.

It's good for background music when you are 99% not focused on the music. Some of the stuff in FFT is pretty decent. I liked the Estersand theme. That's the extent of nice things I have to say about his FF music.
