... Name me one video game company that ISN'T out to make money please Canealot, I'd love to know.

...and unless Uematsu does this there is NO chance of it coming out sounding good (by my standards).

Dangerously close to fanboy conventions there.

Funnily enough, Uematsu isn't the only decent composer around.  Hitoshi Sakimoto (who's *actually* doing the music for FFXII) was responsible for much of Final Fantasy Tactics and the entirety of Vagrant Story (among other things), both of which are masterpieces in their own rights.  Yasunori Mitsuda worked on Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and Xenogears, and that's quality work worth owning as well.  And then, on a non-Square theme, we have Tenpei Sato, who did Disgaea and Phantom Brave... Heaven's Garden is currently my favourite vocal piece, right after 1000 Words.

Furthermore, Uematsu has left Square, yes, but he is now *FREELANCE*.  Just like Mitsuda and Sakimoto.  Not being a Square-Enix composer doesn't mean he'll never work for them ever again.

The only real advantage Uematsu has over and above those I've mentioned is that he's been a composer for an amazingly popular series that has lasted over ten years.  This does give discussions about his work a lot of the power of nostalgia.  But not all of his work has been wonderful or appeal to all tastes.  Not all of Mitsuda's work appeals to me.  Not all of Sakimoto's work appeals to me.  Everyone has their off days.  That doesn't automatically make one composer better than another.

I think it's a little premature to write FFXII off musically.  Uematsu is certainly not the be-all and end-all of Final Fantasy composition.[/i]
 
I didn't mention FFXII's music.

And I loved the multiple composers in FFX. Infact, I liked Masashi Hamauzu's stuff more than Uematsu.
But, in ten years' time, if it comes to a FFX remake, am I wanting Uematsu to re-do Hamazu's music? No! They'd need to get Hamazu back to re-do.
Although I am a Uematsu fanboy, it's not a case of the other composers not being good. It's a case of the same thing as me saying: "Who drew (drew, yeah?) the Mona Lisa? I am a badman on Tekken and can do hella combos. I will redraw it and make it badass."
As I said: it's really not a case of different composers. It's a case of those are Uematsu's songs, and anyone else touching them without his guiding hand is just stupid.

Does anyone know if he did the music for the tech demo? I remember hating it quite a bit...

Actually, who did the Valkyrie Profile (same person who did Till The End of Time, not that I've checked) OST? Bun the VII OST; it's all about the Valkyrie Profile OST.

And Uematsu has more than just working on a popular series. I wish I knew more about music so I could explain it, but, alas, I don't.

No, my comment meant that every person in every company on the planet isn't going "Money! Money! Money, money, money!" Some of them actually have a case, you know. Feel free to guess which ones.

My apologies then - it seemed like a standard "Uematsu is gone, nothing will ever be good again" post that I've seen a lot of around.  But...

No, it really isn't.  Arrangements and mixes of other people's work are not uncommon, and sometimes add more than they take away.  Collaborations between different composers has happened very often in Squaresoft's history.

Take a look at Final Fantasy Origins.  Tsuyoshi Sekito arranged Uematsu's work for that, and it was pretty well received, so you can't exactly say it was a bad idea or that he did a terrible job.

And once again, I know there's certain tracks in FF7 that I really don't like.  Would another composer lending their own style to Uematsu's originals make them better?  Would it spoil the overall feel of FF7?  I can't say.  But I'm not going to state "no chance", because it most certainly *isn't* "no chance".  Yes, if an FF7 remake gets done in the far future, whoever ends up dealing with *any* part of the game is going to have a lot to live up to. But it's been done before and it has been done both well and badly, so again... it's a premature verdict.
 
Anyway, did anyone hate the music in that trailer? There's no way they can match Uematsu's original arangements. I've only watched it once (it digusted me), but I don't think they had Uematsu do the music. Considering he's retired from Squaresoft to expand his horizons, I wonder if he'd come back for a remake...
Without Uematsu, there's not a HOPE IN HELL that the music will work.

just thought i would add that square usually uses different music for the american trailers to the japeness trailers to try to appeal to the different cultures, just go and watch the different advent children trailers on the two different website's to see what i mean. even the color layout of the sites are different due to fact that black is the color for death here but the color of life there. some cultures wear white to funural's where as over here we wear black.
 
aww you love me really, besides. im not a nitpick. if i was, that squall render would have been perfected by now =X

I realize you're new, but out of the 2 posts you've made, both have broken the rules.  Might I suggest you familiarize yourself with them.  Breaking another one will result in a warning.
