Masashi Hamauzu (濱渦正志; Hamauzu Masashi), born September 20, 1971 in Munich, Germany, is a video game music composer who has worked for Square Enix for nearly a decade.
Hamauzu’s start with the company came by creating a small handful of tracks (along with other composers) for Front Mission: Gun Hazard (1996) and Tobal No. 1 (1996). Later collaborations would include Final Fantasy X (2001) (with Nobuo Uematsu and Junya Nakano) and Musashi: Samurai Legend (2005) (with Junya Nakano, and Takayuki Iwai & Yuki Iwai of Wavelink Zeal).
His solo works include Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon (1997), SaGa Frontier 2 (1999), UNLIMITED: SaGa (2002), and Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (2006). Hamauzu will be returning to the Final Fantasy series, scoring Final Fantasy XIII (Nobuo Uematsu will provide the opening theme).
Hamauzu has also produced arranged albums for a few of his works, including Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon ~Coi Vanni Gialli~ and Piano Pieces “SF2” Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2. He also prepared the piano arrangements for Final Fantasy X Piano Collections and Yasunori Mitsuda’s Sailing to the World Piano Score.
Hamauzu’s works are often reminiscent of Chopin, Ravel, and Debussy compositions, resembling classical and ambient music. His music frequently incorporates deliberate dissonance to provide an artistic and mood-setting effect. After pattern and harmony have set in, the elegance of the dissonance becomes apparent; the listener’s perception of dissonance now evolves into a perception of consonance integral to the music.

I think XIII's soundtrack is superior as well but XIII-2's is pretty good, Knight of the Goddess, Sitgmata of an Oath and Plains of Eternity are my personal favorites.

Personally considered XIII's soundtrack superior, but XIII-2 has some gems of its own. I'm exceptionally fond of Etro's Champion, which is one of the best modern FF tracks I've heard.

XIII-2's soundtrack is pretty awful save a few tracks. I mean WTF is up with the metal and rap tracks?

↓ Really? I think the XIII-2 soundtrack exceeds XIII's. The songs have better progression and there's more diversity in the tracks.

From what I've heard of the FFXIII-2 soundtrack, it doesn't even compare to the first installments'. They ruined the Archylte Steppe & battles themes, Crazy Chocobo is awful and rap doesn't belong in a FF game. Shadows of Valhalla howevz is the 'Dust to Dust' of the soundtrack.
