Yes it's been confirmed :'( (I got my info from RPGamer.com) Well, it seems after 20 years working for Square, Uematsu's off for greener pastures - he's joining a company named Smile Please this month, and is basically gonna do freelance work from now on. Any thoughts/reactions? |

No need to hunt down FF soundtracks anymore. At least he's not retiring <<; |

He's still going to be doing VG Music, which is the most important thing. I think that's basically an admission that he's still going to be working on the Final Fantasy games. I don't think it's going to change much. One of the most well loved element of creativity in Final Fantasy never worked for Square anyway - Amano. Hopefully this new company will free Uematsu up to do more great stuff like the Black Mages, and allow him to work on countless more projects. |

As long as I can get my hands on any soundtrack he makes, I'm fine. | |||

The thing is that Uematsu has been little more than a figurehead at the company since, roughly, Final Fantasy VII. And as much as I hate to say it, I would argue that pretty much anything he's done since VII pales in comparison to his earlier work (Particularly FFII and IV). |

I thought FFVII and above did have great soundtracks and all, but I really liked the music and inovation from FFIV, and FFVI more personally. |

Originally posted by Emptyeye Yeah, I agree. But some were still as good (some FFVIII soundtracks come to my mind, like the one during the war of Balam Garden and the other one). |

Heh, just when I thought that the series might shrug off some of its old roots and attempt to do some sort of rejuvination, I'm shocked to find out that he isn't really leaving Square-Enix, he is just able to charge more for his music now. | |||

Do you guys remember when RedXIII got to know about the truth about his father? I loved that moment... (edited by Millennium Neko on 11-02-04 05:34 AM) (edited by Millennium Neko on 11-02-04 05:34 AM) |
