      Both Uematsu and Kondo are technically excellent... but I feel like Uematsu is more well known, so i feel like the additional fame gives Uematsu an edge in the greatest video game composer category.

    On a cold December nigh me and my family were walking around Sendai city (an usual family weekend). There was a performance of GranBlue on that day, which is a game I do not know of. I only knew that Nobuo Uematsu was the composer .
    After eating dinner we decide to go back to our car by using a street that goes back of the symphony hall. We thought there would be less people than the main street, which would make it easier to go around with my son's stroller.
    We were the only people walking on that dark street... we pass a group of people smoking in front of the backdoor of the music hall. I see one person with a moustache and tell myself "no way?".. There is not many people with moustaches in Japan, but then I thought maybe not....we go our way...30 meter or so and then I tell my wife "I think we just passed a very famous composer that I really like...". She tells me "You should go ask for a picture!"
    I go back and ask the man "Are you Uematsu-Sensei?". He replies to me "Yes". I say that I'm a fan and ask for a picture. Him and his staff were super nice, taking their time for trying to find the perfect spot for this special family picture. They even joke with me "How come you are not at the concert? You still can buy tickets now!"
    Me and my wife were really marked by his humbleness and generosity.
    The next Monday, I heard from a colleague at work who went at the concert that Uematsu talked during the concert "talk show" about meeting this random gaikokujin (foreigner) on a cold night in Sendai.
    I hope I can go to one of his concert and thank him again for being so nice.
    植松先生、お大事にしてください。

    The great Nobuo Uematsu is hands down my favorite musician of all time. This guy is an absolute genius and is an inspiration for me ever since I heard his music in final fantasy games from long ago. His ability to create themes full of emotion that inspire thought and feelings of all types is absolutely amazing. A lot of my love for final fantasy is connected through him and his musical mastery. Truly a treasure for his musical talents worldwide. The feeling of nostalgia I get from his music will last my whole life time and will be passed on for generations to come. Thank you so much Nobuo Uematsu for sharing your talents with the world. You have created a bright spot in many people's lives through your music.

  • @Omnishredder
    @Omnishredder 3 года назад +1

    I'd say the version which best represents the story of final fantasy is 1:03 where it states out slow paced, where the pause isn't to just set a new pace off with, but actually represents what final fantasy meant where it started slow paced in take up at first, followed by a pause (the decision to release worldwide) and the track then starts a rhythm that, for each release they either add to a style or change the style of it... With V having the best use of SNES hardware capability to make the theme shine in contrast with the ending no matter how bad it was, it always ends great, enhancing the songs purpose to be like a memory of the heroes you've been, and the ones you will be... That's why a realm reborn happened, it was meant to represent the journeys you've taken before by blending everything in perfectly to be enjoyed again without feeling like it's all done before already

Final Fantasy VIII was the first game I ever finished, the first Final Fantasy I ever played and the reason I am still a gamer today... Every RPG I play, I am hoping to find some small piece of the magic I found in that game. That is also the reason I will play and support every Final Fantasy in the series even when they are not the best ones made.
