i agree, i love mitsuda. the work he did on chrono trigger is the best of the best of jrpg soundtracks. nobuo did some of the soundtrack for that too, i know he was involved in the music for the reptite lair, but i'm not sure what else he did. I never finished Chrono Cross but I always thought that world map song was really gorgeous, i think it's the Another World theme.
for me, Final Fantasy 9 is Nobuo's crowning achievement. also, Dancing Mad >>>>>> One-Winged Angel. Not that sephiroth's theme isn't baller as fuck, but Dancing Mad is like Bach meets The Joker, so damn good.
someone i know described Xenogears as the Tolstoy of JRPGs... I'm down with that description, haha. That prologue alone is heartbreaking.
