Absolute fucking legend. The only music I liked for most of my childhood was video game music, and his was always the best. I once recorded the ending to FF6 on a boombox tape recorder so I didn’t have to fight Kefka just to play it again.

Saw someone make a good point on this–his last complete work will be on a game that might end up unplayable. Here’s hoping Fantasian makes it out of the Apple ecosystem at some point.

Him and John Williams are my all time favorite composers.

Sakaguchi asking Uematsu to go back to the drawing board for FFI’s soundtrack, and Uematsu not changing anything but reordering the tracks is hilarious. He knew his worth.
