I am not to big on vocal tracks when it comes to videogame and anime OSTs; that includes Final Fantasy. Really, there have only been a few who could actually create a really good soundtracks with a few guest appearances from vocal artists. Eyes on Me was fairly decent, but I still prefer Love Grows(especially on FFVII: FLWV) which is more of a instrumental of the song. Really, the only two composers that can pull off vocals well are Akira Yamaoka and Yoko Kanno(there's also a few others). Akira Yamaoka does the music for Silent Hill. The Silent Hill 3 OST is probably a more recognizable soundtrack in the videogame industry. For one reason the voice actor Melissa Williamson(aka Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) does some really good vocal tracks. In my opinion the Silent Hill 3 OST is a good CD period.
But....
 Yoko Kanno! Blue, The Real Folk Blues, Call Me, Rise, Lithium Flower, and more. The soundtracks of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and of course..Cowboy Bebop; those two have excellent vocal tracks. More importantly, Cowboy Bebop. Mainly because the soundtrack was a international collaberation of different artists(the same appoarch for the story and it's characters as well). Yoko Kanno for me is up there with Nobuo Uematsu. And yes; I think she does vocal tracks better. All you have to do is listen to Blue and/or watch Spike fall with his famous line "bang". You need to have the connections. Yoko has worked with Mai Yamane to Russian talent, Origa.
