    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      The only two video game soundtracks I have mixed in with my other music are Halo 2 and FFX. There are a few songs from VIII that I go back and listen to as well.
