Nobuo Uematsu

[Mango]

Can we get him back? T_T

I was blown away by 1.0 sound track.
by 2.0 i start to close by BGM. What ever the reviews say how good was the bgm.. is bullsh1t.

As a FF fan myself, Nobuo Uematsu is the background sound of Final Fantasy.

1.0's downfall has nothing to do with the BGM.
Please get Nobuo Uematsu back into Final Fantasy ARR

There where a few nice tracks in 1.0 thats for sure. But the Soken Music is so much better.
Uematsu is so overrated.

Uematsu is so overrated.

How dare you, sir.

I beg to differ, while Nobuo Uematsu is indeed a legend, I have not found anything to dislike from Soken's works.

That there is blasphemy where I come from sir. lol =P

I don't know about that. Some of Soken's works get very annoying to listen to after awhile. For example, the day time BGM in Uldah with the blaring trumpets. It was great at first but now it really gets on my nerves. I wonder if I'm the only one that gets that way. /shrug

Meh, I actually prefer the current soundtrack. A lot of the 1.0 just didn't fit imho.

In honesty, I want them both. While some of the songs from 1.0 were exceptionally mood appropriate and defined XIV (On windy meadows was my personal favourite), others were a bit bland. Much of ARR's music has a perfect match with the environment (Thanalan in particular), and is hauntingly atmospheric. Althoug short in duration...

So yes, I want them both.

^This. I loved Uematsu's 1.0 soundtrack but I also love what Soken has done in ARR as well - my only wish is some of my favourite 1.0 tracks that are currently MIA (Navigator's Glory, Born of the Boughs, The Forest's Pulse, Piece of Mind, Widdershins, The Seventh Gate, Conflagration, Tears for Mor Dhona, Holy Consult to name but a few) will return in one form or another. So yeah, I love both soundtracks equally.

Opinions are like assholes..everyone has one.

I like both soundtracks. Nobuo not working on ARR has nothing to do with 1.0's failure. They've already said in other interviews that they will probably collaborate with him for some music in the future. Usually that means a major title track, like the opening theme for the upcoming expansion or something.

By the way, was Answers by Uematsu's design? Because that song stands to me as gaming's most memorable song, especially after the excellent merge with the End of an Era video.
