>His obituary on Dragonquest.jp said he'd already finished composing for 12
IIRC it just included 12 in his body of work, not that he actually finished working on the soundtrack. Historically, Sugiyama always worked on music parallel to the games' development. There's even video of him using a scene from DQ11 as a reference for a track during development. Considering that development on 12 really only started in 2021, with him dying in September of that year, I really doubt that his work until that point was substantial enough to carry the whole game.
