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. Are the frog. The big. Dumb. Frog.
We. Eat the meat. In the. Soupy. Bog.
We. Are the frog. The big. Dumb. Frog.
And you. Are. Part. Of me.
Someone commented this on another upload years ago, and I can't unhear it. I think it fits the comical nature of the Qu's, particularly Quina, but also speaks to them being the last of their kind and the love Qu has for Quina. In a way it also simply sets up Quina's adventure to find their kind (or what's left), and that no matter how far Quina travels, and no matter what they happen to eat, Quina is always family to Qu, and to their people, so the journey must go on, come what may. Love this game man. Hit me from the age of 8 when I couldn't do anyhting but press "Attack" over and over again, into my early twenties when I finally got around to beating it (after 3 tries and 3 lost saves). FFIX is just something different, man.
@CrackoWitcho
I started playing FFIX during a period of grief and it hit me in every direction, they explore grief and loss and mourning in so many ways. It's so upbeat and positive but dark and sorrowful at the same time. And it was the same way for me, I barely mashed my way through the first playthrough just trying to get to the next part of the story.
@wallet_
i... am a frog... a big dumb frog.
@Se7enSy
It's strange, but I think it's my favorite track from FF9
@SuperKevin6464
Whenever i hear dxrk rave i think about this song.
@bardockt2315
7 and 9 are my favorite ffs ngl
@nekomasteryoutube3232
7 and 8 are my faves, but I wont lie in saying that FF9 had some bangers.
I'm more into the Tech RPG stuff, so going from FF8 to FF9 was kinda whip lash for me.
Still I did get to the end (but for some reason never finished the game)
