Final Fantasy's creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and the series's legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu sat down with me to chat about their brand new game, FANTASIAN.
I felt incredibly lucky for this honor, and I had to take the chance to have Uematsu-san listen to my favorite of my Final Fantasy VII Covers I composed.
We also talked a bit about his experience as a composer, why he started, and how he wrote One-Winged Angel.
This is a sneak peek, I'll be dropping the full interview tomorrow, where Hironobu Sakaguchi & Nobuo Uematsu will tell us a lot about FANTASIAN and the reasons why they made this game.

Full interview with Sakaguchi-san & Uematsu-san: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1W4Q099XpJ8.html We talked about their brand new game, "FANTASIAN". For me, the game is a beautiful breath of fresh air and a parting gift from Uematsu-san & Sakaguchi-san, who (sadly) won't be making new games or soundtracks after this one. If you, like me, don't own an apple phone or a macbook, the best and cheapest way to play it is to get an Apple TV! - www.mistwalkercorp.com/ ----- PS. The FF7 Arrangement I showed in this interview is the one from this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Wp_VGM7lAg.html It was a collaborative piece of work. I composed it under the direction of my friend and Professional Trailer Music colleague Bryan Nguyen, and the Trailer Montage itself was edited by Dan Allen!

@SMNtheNight 3 года назад

I really appreciate Uematsu talking about how even though FF has changed since 10, they still love the series and seeing it evolve. Composing music for him is about the time in which he exists in "now" and not necessarily just to appease nostalgia. I think part of why Soken has been so successful is that he took this teaching to heart and not only revisits classic tracks that are very nostalgic, helping them to transition into something more modern and in the "now," but also continues to progress forward and find new paths. What legends.

Absolutely my favourite track from the man himself, is To Zanarkand, 20 years later and Im still not tired of listening to it. My favourite memory of the song though, is my mom overheard it, when I played it and she just asked "oh, this sounds familiar, isnt it from a game you played a lot?" it almost brought a tear to my eye, still does. Nobuo Uematsu is a genius, he is the GOAT, and no one will ever, in my opinion, make a better music track than To Zanarkand. And I will gladly be proven wrong.
