Nobuo Uematsu Splitting With Square Enix

Posted by Zonk on from the got-to-love-them-black-mages dept.

FreyarHunter writes "According to Gamespot, Nobuo Uematsu and Square will be separating. Nobuo was the person responsible for the mostly awe-inspiring music for the Final Fantasy games. The report indicates that he will be moving to a company called "Smile Please". While this was first thought to be a rumor it was later announced on Uematsu 's fansite that it is true. He states that it isn't "quitting", but more of a graduation. There are hints in this article saying he will still do work for Square, but at his own pace. The good news is that he still plans to write more music for video games, perform more concerts, and produce the second Black Mages Album."

    I may be in the minority here, but good riddance.
    He's been slipping ever since ff8, creating more and more songs per album, and less and less worthwhile ones.

    What used to be an entier soundtrack filled with great melodies has been replaced with one or two awesome songs and 50-60 forgettable ones.

    I think the newer generation of squaresoft composers are pretty much freelance (Kenji Itou,Hitoshi Sakimoto,Youko Shimomura,Hitoshi Sakimoto), and either thats the way square enix wants things run, or that's what musicians are looking for.
