Uematsu didn't arrange the Advent Children soundtrack. The people credited for that are Shirou Hamaguchi, Kenichiro Fukui, Tsuyoshi Sekito, Keiji Kawamori, and Kazuhiko Toyama.

I wouldn't mind just to see the fans cry.
All the rearranged tracks on the AC Ost were arranged by others. Some were even just taken directly from the FFVII Piano Collection and were arranged by Shiro Hamaguchi.
Hmm I suppose you're right, but he is credited for pretty much every track still, including new material not from the game.

Yes, as composer as far as I know.
He composed the new original tracks and is credited as Original composer for the tracks from the game. He hasn't rearranged them himself though. And this is true for almost all FF arrangement albums.

Of course he doesn't, he left Square ages ago. He may still work as a freelancer, but it doesn't make any sense if they have God blessing talent like Yoko Shimomura and Ishimoto to bring us all to heaven.

Good. While they're at it they might as well scrap all his music. Its not like FF7 had a memorable well loved soundtrack. If you want to get the kids to buy your game you should get someone like Skrillex to compose this. Thank me later square enix.

He did the full soundtrack for SE's latest mainline numbered FF, and his latest work for SE was just a few months ago.
Shimomura has "left Square ages ago" as much he has, both being freelance composers.

Uematsu doesn't need a huge endeavor such as this. He looks like he's having too much fun doing a victory lap with the Distant Worlds and Black Mages appearances.
As far as I know, the only instance of Uematsu arranging his music for a rerelease was for FF1 on PSX, or at least the soundtrack doesn't specify an arranger credit. (FF2 was Sekito.)
It's a bit surprising if he isn't involved in this at least as a supervisor or something. Wonder if the game is just so early at this point that they haven't even bothered asking him yet.

They probably don't have to worry about the music aspect of the game for a couple more years.
If you love these, give stuff like Blake Robinson's synthetic orchestra stuff a listen, esp CT and FF4. It may be a little too flourishy for in-game usage but damn if that isn't some good sound out of a fan project.
And I keep getting spammed BlueNocturne and Nanashima's stuff for KH. Those are pretty great.

Not a single hint of gameplay footage and it's already a shitty game.
Damn.
Damn.

People are acting like the guy is retired. He's still active.
Even during his FF days, his output was less in comparison. Games are much bigger these days and have less constraints with audio.

He arranged the OST for FFI. Sekito arranged FFII.
Sounds nothing like FFVII to me. It has that more contemporary rock style more fitted to Ishimoto's OSTs.
Well, the ones that DID have guitars, sure. I still think Black Mages's Those Who Fight Further is probably the most faithful spot-on arrangements of a classic song using actual instruments.
I agree. To me, if FFVII had CD quality soundtrack(similar to older CD-rom RPGs), this is how it would've sound.
Probably because the original opens with a very cold, synthy tone that feels at home in the 70s-early 80s. It's kinda similar to the retrowave trend you see where people have fallen in love with the synthy scores of old horror movies. This particular song(the original version) always gave me that sort of feel. It goes into something else, but that haunting melody remains throughout the entirety of the song, like a siren warning of terror of Jenova and what it could do to an entire civilization.
Typical GAF.
I know it's not likely, but putting the Advent Children team together again would be awesome. Black Mages for rock arrangements, and Hamaguchi/Toyama for piano/orchestral arrangements.
They did a great job, it was the best OST of the FFVII compilation IMO.
Fukui's not at S-E anymore but he's worked with them a few times since. Hamaguchi hasn't in a while though.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Sekito and Kawamori working on it.

I hope they get someone who knows what they're doing, And not just go over them and ruin them like in FFX HD.
Do you even know what you want lol

Music ist the least of Final Fantasy's problems imo. I really liked Uematsu's Music back in the day, but I think there are many other competent composers that could to a fine job aswell.

Could be...but he's still a damn beast at the time of making "main themes". Just look (hear :3) some of his work on FFXIV

Don't know how I feel about this
The original OST is like half the nostalgia for me (Overworld theme, Tifa theme, Sephiroth,etc)

Not going to lie, I loved the "My Hands" trailer. Then again, I didn't buy the game, so my opinion probably doesn't count.
