Take a break from the post-E3 news, debates, and controversies and appreciate some of the greatest composers to grace the gaming industry.
Nobuo Uematsu has agreed to compose the main theme for the third game in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy.
Cool. The music in rebirth were...kinda unmemorable asides from the classic tracks. A nice variety but many felt too underwhelming. I wish they just kept playing Let the Battles Begin for every normal fight lol. Hope they step it up with the final part.
I really hope we get a VIII remake eventually while Uematsu is still around, I'd love him to create an extra track for it or something. VIII's soundtrack is on another level.
I've missed his music, he really made the games, especially in the gold age of FF games, the soundtracks haven't been the same since he left (there aren't as many memorable tracks).
The composer and singer discuss the collaboration and research that went into the ballad and capturing Aerith’s singing voice.
He provided the main theme for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Fantasian needs to release on consoles, please. I'll probably never play it if it remains an Apple Arcade exclusive. I don't use Apple products, and certainly wouldn't buy one just for a single game. Mistwalker has always had odd exclusivity choices.
Uematsu is legend though, and the music was one of the big reasons I fell in love w Final Fantasy a few decades ago. I hope his health has improved, and he can exit his career on something more notable.
**While we're at it, and Microsoft is more open to sharing things cross platform now, I hope they'll allow Mistwalker to release Remasters of both Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon!
Which is fine. He's already a legend and can take a break if he desires. Let new talents dabble.
That sucks, but I will admit that the composers handling FF7 Remake really do his masterpieces justice.
This is so sad. Uematsu made my childhood and teen years with FF4 to FF10. At one point he even worked while quite ill from a hospital bed.
My favorite composer next to Yasunori Mitsuda. Akira Tsuchiya Is another one of my favorites I love the music in Ar Tonelico and the vocals of Akiko Shikata. Such great talent that have brought some great games to life.

Don´t forgett names like Hanz Zimmer for Call of Duty and the epic and badass main theme for Crisis 2,and Clint Mansel for Mass Effect 3 that main title theme always bring tears to my eyes...Their perfect.
And my personal favorite Harry Gregson-William for one the most Iconic Video games theme of all time The Metal Gear Solid Theme.
Where the hell is Yasunori Mitsuda?. His work on Chrono Trigger,Chrono Cross and Xenogears is legendary.
Not an expert on the topic, but want to mention Gustavo Santaolalla. His work on TLOU soundtrack is just beautiful.
