Old video game music (8-bit, 16-bit, midi) were good because of the potential they held. Composers and programmers, made up for lack of good samples with good composition. The fact that they're orchestrating the music removes those boundaries. That's the reason why great composers like Uematsu, Shimomura, and Mitsuda broke off from Square enix and founded their own studios, because the limitations in music aren't there anymore.
