Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu Announces Retirement [update: this was a misunderstanding]
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
A black and white photo of someone famous and the headline starts with their name and greatest achievement, I tensed up for a moment.
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.
que the walk in the snow in magitek armor… i mean god damn
He has created an exceptional body of work I listen to in various ways almost daily. I imagine he has inspired many generations of musicians and composers these past near four decades.
Cheers to him.

Here’s the update for convenience
(… saw this on my feed, only just thought to check the community itself to see if there was another post, my bad)
Bro, could you have added like 1 or 2 other victory tunes at the end of battles in ff7? Random encounters were like every 5 seconds. The victory song was played like every minute.
FFX music was pretty awesome.
Fair enough, the dude’s been writing bangers for decades already
