Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu Announces Retirement [update: this was a misunderstanding]
Good for him. He’s made some of my most favorite music, and for that I am forever grateful. I’ve read about his work ethic, and the fact that he’s still alive blows. I’m glad to hear he’s going to take it easy.
A black and white photo of someone famous and the headline starts with their name and greatest achievement, I tensed up for a moment.
This guy made some of the best video game music of all time. I hope he has a long, healthy retirement.
Nobuo Uematsu and Koji Kondo should be as famous as John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Composed the soundtracks of our lives, even to people who aren’t gamers.
Edit: and Yasunori Mitsuda! Almost forgot about him
Man… I still use FF 6 (3 on snes) music as transition music on a community radio show (devil’s lab, the magitech factory music) I do. guys a fuckin legend
FF6 is just the best one in the series, hands down. That score masterfully stabs you with an overwhelming sense of loss. It can also smash when needed, my favorite boss track in the series by far.
I have to replay it now, dang.
