So far, I've enjoyed the music he's done for Crisis Core and Dissidia the most.

There were some great themes in Crisis Core that haven't had their time in the spotlight.

Dissidia is already out, he finished that soundtrack.

I don't really like his work, compared to the far superior Uematsu, Hamauzu and Shimomura. All he really does is remix songs and sometimes introduces new melodies that aren't that clever to begin with.

In Dissidia pretty much all songs were not made by him. You had all the FF themes he remixed and you had the official theme song written by an American band which he remixed as well and used as the main theme.

Crisis Core same story, though he did compose some stuff. Not enough to praise him.

I take it you're not experienced with YouTube. Just search "dissidia ost" or "crisis core ost" and you have your music.

But the first and most infamous work of Ishimoto was for World Fantasista, the equally infamous soccer game from Squaresoft. This game is really fun, it looks like a mixture of soccer and futsal (hall soccer), cause, the goal is so small that looks like a futsal goal, but the field is big enought to be a soccer field.
Another great soundtrack he composed was It's a Wonderful World (AKA The World Ends With You), and the GREAT Before Crisis + Last Order OST. There's great tracks on this last one, like Theme of Turks(BC-FFVII- Version), Survive, Rebirth, Desperate Crisis, Pride of SOLDIER, Last Order and others.

My favourite from him is still the Last Order Crisis Mix though. Although he does stick mainly with remixes, he does have his fair share of good works

I enjoyed his work in TWEWY. Mostly atmospheric, but memorable.

His work on It's a Wonderful World was a very interesting, because it differs from far of his previous works. Before Crisis, Last Order and Crisis Core had a rock oriented OST, much more heavy, reflecting the kind of story and the scenario. On the other hand, It's a Wonderful World uses a pop oriented OST to illustrate the atmosphere of the game, giving some ideias of the japanese pop culture. I think he's a GREAT composer, and along with Naoshi Mizuta (Final Fantasy XI) and Kenji Ito (SaGa), he's on the same level, or near, of the master Uematsu.

His work on TWEWY was amazing. No other way to put it. It fit the world they portrayed so perfectly, and the tunes were catchy to a frustrating level.
He did KH? o.o cool. I'll try to see if I can catch that tune o:

His Crisis Core work was amazing I have every track from the Crisis Core Sound Track this man beats Nobeo Umatseu (or how ever you say his name, the guy who did KH's music)by being so much better and well in my opinion his music is easier to listen to.

No.. Nobuo Uematsu never did Kingdom Hearts music.... the one who did it was Yoko Shimomura (Parasite Eve, Legend of Mana, Street Fighter II)
