Reminds me of the two tracks from FFVIIR that felt distinctly like Masashi Hamauzu's work.

Ch5

Ch16
I recall there was some reference that confirmed one or both pieces were not officially by Hamauzu (the OST nerds can correct me on this one) but the instrumentation and melodies are like straight out of Dirge of Cerberus or FFXIII. The style must intentionally be Hamauzu, I have trouble believing otherwise. I hope they do end up at least lending this style for the Deepground section, if not straight up use or remix themes from the DoC soundtrack.
It's neat seeing the wave of new Dirge of Cerberus playthroughs on YouTube, some of which are specifically in preparation for the Yuffie DLC. Of course no new player of DoC has anything to say that hasn't been said before. Can't really blame them though, it's not a title that inspires varied commentary.
"This is stupid"
"Vincent is hawt"
"This is stupid AND boring"
"Vincent is SO hawt"
