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!

Damn bro, it looks like mistwalker is on every platform you don’t support 😅

But I agree with you. I have Apple products but dislike that I have to subscribe to Apple Arcade and not outright buy the game. Maybe add a remaster of the Wii’s The Last Story too.

Ha, I had a 360 and loved Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon! Never owned an XBox console again after 3 red ringed 360s though, BUT, I do continue to buy XB games on PC since 2017ish. I wish at the very least, we could get Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon rereleased on PC.

And I'm with you. I've bought Forza Horizon 4 & 5, MS Flight Simulator, and most of the XBox One era exclusives outright. I was never interested in paying a sub for them, prefer to own them on PC.

Which is fine. He's already a legend and can take a break if he desires. Let new talents dabble.

CrimsonWing6960d ago

That sucks, but I will admit that the composers handling FF7 Remake really do his masterpieces justice.

Hofstaderman60d ago

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.

got_dam60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

Mitsuda for me as well, with the exception of his battle songs. They tend to be a schizophrenic. Good example is chrono cross. Otherwise, every soundtrack is pure gold. Xenogears is all-time favorite. City of burning sands has not left my brain for 20+ years.

PapaBop60d ago

Damn that brings back memories, I've still got my PS2 copies of Ar Tonelico 1 and 2 somewhere, amazing games.

Knightofelemia60d ago

Ar Tonelico 3 all though can get annoying also has some decent music behind it along with Ar Nosurge.

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

FinalBoss6d ago

I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.

That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.

jznrpg4d ago

A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get

anast6d ago

I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

gold_drake5d ago

shining force.

but indont see that happening unfortunately.
