Nobuo Uematsu has ALWAYS been the heart and soul of Final Fantasy.

He could dump more soul into a SNES soundchip than anybody.

Just throwing it out there, but, um... Yasunori Mitsuda?



Currently playing: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, NBA2k11, Metal Gear Solid, Picross 3d

Or Koichi Sugiyama.  Or Yoko Shimomura.  Or Koji Kondo.  Or Kenji Yamamoto.  Or Jun Ishikawa.

Seriously, Uematsu is the John Williams of gaming music.  He's good and FAR more famous than most, but not the best.  I would definitely put Koichi Sugiyama above him and, if Yasunori Mitsuda had a larger body of work, him too.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

It has probably already been said here, but the japanese song is not composed by Uematsu. It's hard for me to take this article seriously if it cant even get the info right.

But Uematsu is better than Koji Kondo and yoko shinomura as much as I like the KH OST, the other ones I havent listened to much.

Wait!1!... is that piece of garbage the main theme of FFXIII for us in the West???

Holy hell what the hell were S-E thinking...



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Wow, I just heard the song... What the hell is that whiny, dime a dozen crap doing in a Final Fantasy game? This isn't RnB hour on MTV we're talking about (not that they play anything besides RnB and Hip-Hop/Rap anyway...) its a frickin Final Fantasy game!

Are we really going to start to forego masterpieces such as this;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J46RY4PU8a8

for the benefit of cheap, plastic pop? Makes me truly sad.

thats one 4 minute SONG in the game, in ONE scene out of possibly 50 - 60 hours

because of this song your gonna ignore the fantastic OST for the game? (after having listened to many pieces it sure is fantastic)

sorry, but thats truly sad dude

I listened to that song in the OP, and then I listened to Terra's Theme from FF6 (link). Oh how the mighty have fallen...

Once again, the two are not related

Lightnings theme could be better than terra's theme for allw e know, have you heard it, no you haven't

have you heard the OST of the main game, apart from the sample tracks we had, no you haven't

judging FF13's soundtrack on a 4 min song (not even made by S-E) put into one scene of FF13 is beyond silliness

God those games were amazing. Hopefully we see Persona 5 next year...btw is Xenosaga any good? Im thinking of picking up the Xenosaga series as well as Vagrant Story pretty soon


Hell yes they are great.

Xenosaga 1 is a 9/10 for me.

Xenosaga 2 is the ugly duckling in this series, for me it's a 5/10

Xenosaga 3 on the other hand is one of the best RPG's I have played for me it's a 9.5/10

what? ... all games since FFVIII had copyrighted music in them. why did it lose the tradition?



darthdevidem01 on 14 November 2009

& no it is not the main theme for the west

it is the main song for the west, there's a huge difference between the two

The song will probably be played in trailers for the game on TV & one scene in the game (or in the credits)

This song in no way tarnishes FF13's Official OST
