Sakimoto has been coming up with many militaristic themes epic in its own right since Final Fantasy Tactics.

With an epic plot, epic characters, Nintendo Hard gameplay, it must be said that the entire music of Vagrant Story is equally epic. Again, Hitoshi Sakimoto at the helm. For battle themes, try "Ifrit", or better yet that battle theme against wyverns!. For dungeon themes, try listening to "Catacombs", or "Undercity". On a rainy night. Alone.
Electric Power Building from Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter has Sakimoto create a really unique soundscape.
Alchemist from the Atlus RPG Stella Deus the Gate of Eternity would qualify.
Valkyria Chronicles entire soundtrack, especially the Main Theme.
- The Main Themes of the other two are gorgeous too.
Don't forget Radiant Silvergun; it had some pretty awesome music too, like Return, Penta, and The Stone-Like.
Gauntlet (1985 video game) 4: Sortie
Verytex: The Void of Space
Devilish (a.k.a. Bad Omen): Introduction
Gradius V: Aircraft Carrier (Big Core Mk. I) and, closer to his typical Epic Orchestrated style: Elephant Gear
That Which Stands in the Way
Odin Sphere: World Map
Final Fantasy Tactics: Team Making
Tactics Ogre: Catastrophe
Even for the most obscure Japan-only games of the 90's, Hitoshi Sakimoto did his best: Intro to Hourai Gakuen no Bouken
Master Of Monsters: Introduction - he never let silly things like chipset limitations or hardware quality get in the way of making epic music
A more 'indie' song Dungeon from The Adventure of Hourai High School
Lord Of Vermilion II: Collaboration with an electric guitarist for great effect, to say the least.
Soukyugurentai: Descent Into The Sea Of Clouds and Arctic Oil Field Base. It's quite interesting to note that this game is also on the same arcade board alongside Radiant Silvergun, which leads to some more comparisons (other than the music, of course.)
Bubble Ghost Theme, one of his first video game soundtracks.
