Legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu has shockingly revealed that he will not be composing the music for the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII remake, bewildering many as to why and how Square Enix will be able to manage without Uematsu’s harmonious charms.
Nobuo Uematsu delivered the depressing news by way of an interview, causing many theorists to speculate that Square Enix will have the existing soundtrack be rearranged by other capable composers, an event that could very well lead to mixed results (or is at least unlikely to improve on the original as far as fans are concerned).
Aside from the original composer being excluded, it was previously reported that the remake will also have its combat system overhauled, also bound to get under the skin of the more hardcore Final Fantasy VII fans, but Square Enix has promised that they have no intentions of drastically altering the game’s genre (considering they have done that already).
The consistent bombardment of such vital changes has caused much concern amongst the game’s dedicated followers, leaving many to hope that the game will still be recognizable after it all, as well as be at least half-way playable…
The most surprising thing is that nowadays he composes for basically anything… mobile games, kickstarter games, collaborations, etc. There was a time when hearing that Nobuo Uematsu was composing for anything was huge. Nowadays, it’s news when he does not, like in this case.
Please f♥♥k up with FFVII remake and die Square Enix
Actually, the only two good outcomes are a great remake and a shitty remake.
A shitty remake means another may be done in the future, but an “OK” remake may mean we’ll have to settle for it forever.
This remake isn’t gonna be s♥♥t like the real FFVII. I called it from the beginning. It’s basically gonna be a FFXV expansion pack with FFVII themed skins. Oh, and SE will make TIFA fat and reduce her breast size to b cup to get SJW approval.
Just get Yasunori Mitsuda in the mix, he was one of the reasons Xenogears was amazing, so let him take the reigns. Plus he and a couple others took Legaia Duel Saga and made the music somehow unimaginably great and brought a mediocre game into excellent status.
Xenogears was one of the best games Squaresoft ever made for many reasons. Shame they never made anything even remotely good or interesting after their ps1 games.
Mitsuda’s as good as Uematsu. Really an amazing composer. He deserves more credit than he gets.
Music is one of the things that can almost never go wrong in games and movies. No reason to worry
xenosaga episode 2 is a perfect example that music can take a game to hell
Are you talking about the cutscene music, or the rest of the music? Yuki Kajiura composed the former, and you best not be badmouthing her.
