Hamauzu's works are often reminiscent of Chopin, Ravel, and Debussy compositions. They frequently incorporate deliberate dissonance to provide an artistic and mood-setting effect. After pattern and harmony have set in, the elegance of the dissonance becomes apparent; the listener's perception of dissonance evolves into a perception of consonance integral to the music. Hamauzu composes music in a wide variety of styles, often employing multiple styles throughout a soundtrack. His compositions break barriers between musical genres, mixing classical marches, tango music, electronic ambience, instrumental solos, and jazz.
Hamauzu's start with Square Enix came by creating a small handful of tracks (along with other composers) for Front Mission: Gun Hazard (1996) and Tobal No. 1 (1996). Later collaborations include Final Fantasy X (2001) (with Nobuo Uematsu [[artist]植松伸夫] and Junya Nakano [[artist]仲野順也]) and Musashi: Samurai Legend (2005) (with Junya Nakano, and Takayuki Iwai & Yuki Iwai [[artist]岩井由紀 ] of Wavelink Zeal).
His solo works include Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon (1997), SaGa Frontier 2 (1999), UNLIMITED: SaGa (2002), and Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (2006). Hamauzu provided the entire score of Final Fantasy XIII in 2009, and returned for its sequel, XIII-2 in 2011. Hamauzu has also produced arranged albums for a few of his works, including Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon ~Coi Vanni Gialli~ and Piano Pieces "SF2" Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2. He also prepared the piano arrangements for Final Fantasy X Piano Collections and Yasunori Mitsuda (光田康典)'s Sailing to the World Piano Score. From SaGa Frontier 2 onward, Hamauzu has primarily worked closely with synthesizer operator Ryo Yamazaki (山崎良).
In addition to his solo and video game compositions, he is also co-leader of the band IMERUAT with vocalist Mina Sakai.

This version is perfection

Venitas751 I agree. When I first heard the remaster, I was disappointed. Thankfully the PS4 version allows someone to choose between the original and remastered music. I got to listen to this once again in all its perfection

Inarguably one of the greatest pieces of music ever made.
Akiin Moonlight
pretty much a masterpiece ❤

+Matthew Etter Nobuo Uematsu was lead composer. Pretty much all of the iconic final fantasy music is his work. Though many other very talented people have contributed to the series over the years.

This track isn't from Uematsu. It's from Masashi Hamauzu. He composed several tracks in Final Fantasy X, among them, this.

Ah, we should have known from all the violins lol. Flashbacks to FF13's track. And come to think of it, some parts of this remind me of dust to dust, also by Hamauzu.
