Legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu is a name well known to many with any interesting games, with his work on the Final Fantasy franchise in particular having made him widely known, to say the very least. Over the years, from Blue Dragon to Lost Odyssey, Uematsu has also worked with Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi on several other projects, with the two also having collaborated on the upcoming Fantasian Neo Dimension. The enhanced re-release of the mobile RPG, however, is also going to be Uematsu’s last game project, he has confirmed.
In a message shared by the game’s official Twitter account, Uematsu said, “Fantasian releases on December 5. This is my final project as a composer of video game music. I hope you’ll pick it up and play it!”
This isn’t the first time Uematsu has expressed his readiness to retire from composing music for video games. Earlier this year, he said that he was unlikely to ever compose a full video game soundtrack again.
Uematsu has, however, composed the main themes for Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in recent years. Earlier this year, he suggested that he would return in a similar capacity for the remake trilogy’s final instalment. Read more on that through here.
