More power to him.

Woah.

That came out of, like, left field. It's like the end of an era. He's been with Square since, like, forever. If he does leave, it sucks to be Square.

It seems like the story on RPGamer is now unconfirmed.

But yeah. Black Mages rules. He should release another album. The first is all I listen to.-jay

Would not surprise me the way Square is going.

They are popping out FF7 sequels prequels and spin-offs like its a ****ing pez dispenser. The company is really losing it. I just hope several of the projects bomb and maybe they'll get their act together asnd stop trying to do something they think is the most 'profitable'..

The video game empire crumbles around our feet. Fear what the future has in store.

Is he still going to be writing the music for Final Fantasy XII?

And it's confirmed. He's leaving to work at his own pace.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Considering I own Project Majestic Mix: A Tribute to Nobuo Uematsu, this is certainly sad news as far as I'm concerned. I hope whatever he does next involves creating awesome music for RPGs.

He was a legend, some of the best music was written by him. Of course I will always like the msuic from the older games better.
