In this week’s The Making Of A Realm, musical genius and Final Fantasy battle theme composer Nobuo Uematsu shares his thoughts about Final Fantasy XIV and his comeback after 10 years of not making a single musical contribution after Final Fantasy IX.
Uematsu’s unique style of concocting melodies right in front of the sequencer without the use of a music sheet will bring a lot of meat to Final Fantasy XIV, and even though the open beta was delayed due to some bugs and glitches, anticipation will surely grow as every Final Fantasy game with Nobuo Uematsu on the credits list had moved on to become very successful on an international scale.
Just last month, the public was saddened by the sudden break-up of The BlackMages where Uematsu played an important role in building the band’s reputation as Final Fantasy‘s main and battle theme players.
Here we see Uematsu being interviewed in his very own Ping Pong Studio (you’ll eventually know why he has a studio called like that) and distill some juicy information about Final Fantasy XIV and the musical themes used in the MMORPG.
Here’s the video. Credit again goes to FFXIV Core for the English translation.
