Nobuo Uematsu (植松伸夫 Uematsu Nobuo) (born March 21, 1959) is a Japanese composer of video game music. He is best known for his work with game developer Squaresoft (now Square Enix), having provided scores for a majority of installments of Square's Final Fantasy series of role-playing games. Uematsu's body of work - composed, in its entirety, on keyboards - is known for its distinct eclecticism, and has secured his status as one of the most popular and beloved composers of video game music in the world.
Nobuo Uematsu was born in Kōchi, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. A self-taught musician, he began to play the piano when he was eleven or twelve years old, and he did not take any formal piano lessons. After graduating from Kanagawa University, Uematsu played the keyboard in several amateur bands and composed music for television commercials.
When Uematsu was working at a music rental shop in Tokyo, a Square employee asked if he would be interested in creating music for some of the titles they were working on. Although he agreed, Uematsu considered it a side job, and he did not think it would become a full-time career. He said it was a way to make some money on the side, while also keeping his part-time job at the music rental shop. His first score for Square was Cruise Chaser Blassty, released in 1986.
Uematsu enjoyed massive commercial success with the song "Eyes on Me" performed by 王菲 and featured in Final Fantasy VIII. The single sold 400,000 copies, a record for a video game song, and won the "Song of the Year" award at the 1999 Japan Gold Disc Awards. Uematsu was subsequently named in Time Magazine's list of the Top 100 Innovators - Music, and has toured Japan playing classical concerts on several occasions.
His music itself is notoriously eclectic, tracks featured skip between pop-style balladry, to fusion styles incorporating African traditions, to, in recent years, a number of Celtic-influenced recordings and releases. Many of his works also contain elements of progressive rock and hard rock. His formation of The Black Mages, a rock band, in 2003, allowed him to experiment with his own compositions, releasing band renditions of a significant number of tracks from his soundtracks. The Black Mages disbanded in 2010, but Uematsu formed a new band featuring other ex-Black Mages members and some new faces, Earthbound Papas, in its wake.
In 2004, Uematsu formed his own production company, Smile Please, to which Uematsu's compositions for CG-animated film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is credited. Uematsu continues to compose for Square Enix and other video game developers, such as Mistwalker. Notably, he worked on the soundtrack for the Nintendo crossover fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, having composed its main theme.

This piece represents so many things...
Your first day in the best game ever created in the best city ever (sorry, other two cities)...
The first moments of a new, exciting unlocked job...
Leaving the city and the start of a new adventure...
Coming back from a satisfying hours long adventure...
Safety when escaping a neighboring map from a mob chasing you...
Reliving the entire thing after hearing this music and reactivating an account years later...
Beautifully played.
Café Watercolor - Eric Yi Lin
Took me back to the time my hero ran around the forest killing rabbits... 🤣

FF11 music is underrated. So happy to see more of it from you! <3

First you brought me back to my Childhood with ffvi, now you help me relive my teen years with FF11....
Jared Smith
I haven't played the MMOs so I missed this one, but it's a great piece.
Hato
I think there is similar piece in FF IX

Another gem from Nobuo Uematsu! I have been a student of the keyboard for 64 years and I tell my medical students often that some of the best music ever written come from the gaming industry. You master his music with your style and emotion.

Ronfaure is my favorite XI track so I'm so glad you covered it! Would love to see you do more XI.
Kara Comparetto
Another one is coming soon! :D

The music in FFXI has some of the absolute best tracks in the series!

Your piano has a charming timbre. Kinda plunky, if you will. I dig it!
