Nobuo Uematsu: Genius or "Whatever"?
Just so you know, Nobuo Uematsu is the composer of most of the music in the Final Fantasy games. Personally, I think his music is just amazing. When I hear each song, they not only bring back fond memories of playing some of my favorite games, but they stay embedded in my brain like any really catchy song would. The most notable songs that always get stuck in my head are Kefka's theme song (FF6), Celes' Opera song (FF6), and the song that plays when the President and his son visit (FF7 - The happy "patriotic" song, not the "evil-empire" song). I dunno; music from other games only remind me of the actual games they originated from. They're not something I would listen to as a stand-alone song. Nobuo Uematsu's music has been just about the only exception.
What is your opinion on his music? Am I crazy, or is there really something great about it?
