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.

We can never go back... not really... even when we try the magic isnt the same.
The modernization of gaming has taken away so much of the magic of old RPGs.
Even modern Final Fantasy games are unenjoyable to me, whatever soulless bastardization they have become.
Nothing I try brings back the magic, the spirit, of entering a low poly, 2d town, and looking for the shops.
This form of storytelling has died, and we were the last to be able to enjoy it. WE.
We were the chosen ones.
Us who were able to enjoy the REAL FF7.
Before Aeris was pronounced with a lisp.
Before...
"Playable female characters may be considered as paid DLC"
When games came complete when you bought them.
We are the legends. This is one of our tales.
@OneBoredCatbug
(Sorry for the length in advance, if you want a TL;DR I'm not giving you one)
Ahead on our way is a very strange piece to me, it's hard to place the way it makes me feel, it doesn't make me feel happy, it doesn't make me feel sad, and although I suppose the melody is relaxing it doesn't actually put me at ease, it's a piece of music that doesn't seem to fulfil a purpose other than filling empty space, which I guess is how some of us might feel at times.
It's just music to get you by that's what I think of this type of music, I'm not saying it's bad for what it does, I'm not saying it's a bad song, it just makes me feel something I can't describe, the only thing I can compare it to is a feeling of emptiness, feeling like there's nothing I can do, feeling like I don't serve any purpose at the moment, eventually I'll get back into the swing of things but for the time being I'm just going through the motions, that kind of feeling is what this track reminds me of, it's not the same type of emptiness I feel when I'm depressed, it's just being content with the lack of activity.
Many of our lives are quiet for the most part, the more time goes on and the more I think about it, it's the quiet days that matter most, maybe I'm just too harsh on myself, always worrying about working and wanting to do something when I should be relaxing, I was never like this when I was a teenager, maybe one day I'll be satisfied enough with the work I've done to completely cherish the quiet days when life has no meaning and doesn't need to have one, sometimes it bothers me but other times the lack of meaning makes me happier more than anything else.
It's funny isn't it? The same thing that causes most of my existential nightmares is also sometimes the same things that helps me enjoy my day, knowing that it doesn't matter sometimes makes it easier to appreciate days when I'm just by myself with nothing to do and nobody to talk to.

CHARISMA nebelheimなんでづけどもう#1Karma Bethesda - NOTMidgar 🇺🇲Tifa's town+forest Recovers & 神道help others
https://youtu.be/h7WrM6f2NHU
Shelby = tifa
This is after midgar is escaped
But the story isn't the complete same as the original ffvii
This is classically Japanese
In the game.. the town gets sucked dry by the nuclear reactor but then it recovers
We are showing more about that recovery
The game is Japanese shinto
With Jewish mystical overtones
It would be so charismatic to say the game is based on this town.. that this was all divinely planned by the central prophecy's
Gainsborough road and nebelheim Rd are in Bethesda and also in the game...
People like all those characters live here... It's actually true..
Not only is it a heartfelt win for sacred indigenous wisdom
But they're so ready for it..

@adammclaughlin845
When you thought Midgar was the entire game, then end up on the world map. Overawed, amazed at the game you're playing and its ever increasing scope, then you reach Kalm - the polar opposite of a place called Midgar and your first stop on the greatest adventure.
@viothesheikah1018
I played the game relatively blind about 2 years ago and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. It was the first FF game I properly played and seeing how huge the overworld was outside of Midgar for the first time took my breath away. I was suddenly made aware of the scale of the beautiful journey I had in front of me
@adammclaughlin845
The original also blew me away with its scale and its ever expanding cast. Just amazing, an experience you can only have once.
@twist22
Felt the same way. It was a very moving experience once I finally got there.
