What a boss. Still gets trotted out and updated for the bad modern FF games nearly 40 years later.

I can believe that

 

[A.Romero]

Wow, that amazing.

 

[Deerock71]

Kojima has farted longer than that.

It's not like the NES version had some ridiculous complexity. Making music back then was much simpler.

 

[Yoshichan]

this is shit i read in an interview with Uematsu from a magazine in 1998

I know genki is often using tweeting old news but this is a record

 

[EviLore]

Uematsu's talent for melody + the arp button:

It's from his podcast yesterday

I hope the guy isnt married because that poor wife would divorce him in an instant with the amount of exmarrital cocksucking this dude is enjoying.

so? this has been known information since just before FFVII release, it was published in magazines

So you read a magazine 27 years ago and now nobody is allowed to discuss this podcast story from yesterday?

Still requires work lol.

i'm saying it's old fucking news

or should I start a topic where I publish the news how John Carmack twisted a pixel, thus creating 3D pixels? Should we pretend that's news as well, if Carmack talks about it in a recent podcast?

 

[Clear]

Arpeggios were the norm in the 8/16 bit era because with a limited number of monophonic voices, it was the only realistic way to create chords.

 

[Sephimoth]

That's because he's a king.

It's so simple but has become so iconic

 

[Synless]

Yes, but the prelude them was not complex at all. It's easy to see why it only took someone with music talent only 15 minutes.

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

To this day I still get a little misty-eyed when I hear the FF6 rendition. It's just so beautiful.

Well, yes you could do that, I'm sure it would be news for some, and some might even go "Who???".

 

[peish]

I recall it has only 4-5 different beats. Classic is a classic, life was so much simpler than.

C64 and it's iconic SID chip sound was 99% fast arpeggios. I love it!

I met the guy once, along with Masashi Hamauzu at Final Symphony in London around 15 years ago.

Uematsu signed my copy of FF7 and FF9 Soundtrack. Hamauzu signed my copy of FF13.

It was a wonderful moment.

If I found out Uematsu was touring again for a FS or Distant Worlds and there was a chance for a meet or greet I'd be happy to pay it. He is the biggest legend for music in video games.

I hope we get another contribution from him for the final FF7R game and something for this rumoured 9 remake.

The melody on the piano is basic and simple AF, as all good tunes should be ( unless you're Chopin, because fuck them).
