Pls someone get it.

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.

A black and white photo of someone famous and the headline starts with their name and greatest achievement, I tensed up for a moment.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu

*GASP*

Announces Retirement

*PHEW*

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Seriously! I was so relieved when I reached the end of the headline

Man.. I still use FF 6 (3 on snes) music as transition music on a community radio show (devil's lab, the magitech factory music) I do. guys a fuckin legend

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

que the walk in the snow in magitek armor... i mean god damn

FFX music was pretty awesome.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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.

He's earned it. Hopefully retirement doesn't suit him though and we get another Mistwalker OST.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

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.

Edit: and Yasunori Mitsuda! Almost forgot about him

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

So he can make a new The Black Mages album?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago

This guy made some of the best video game music of all time. I hope he has a long, healthy retirement.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Cheers to him.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (3 children)

the fact that he’s still alive blows

I'm sorry what

(I assume typo)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Lmao. I meant "blows my mind." I was half asleep typing on my phone, so I'll blame that. Either way, I'm leaving it :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

because all the best musicians are dead you see

... my mind
