All your favorite VGM podcasters are doing a series called “Masters of VGM”, where we do episodes devoted to our four favorite video game composers. For my first entry into this series, I’m going through the greatest hits (and a few other songs) of my favorite VGM composer, Nobuo Uematsu.
Special thanks to Bedroth of Very Good Music and everyone else who’s set up the Masters of VGM project and all the podcasters who are participating. You can follow the project’s Twitter account @mastersofvgm or visit their website at mastersofvgm.com to see all the participating podcasts and episodes released to date.
If you like this episode and you want to hear some more obscure Nobuo Uematsu stuff, you should check out episode 3 of this show. It’s called “Before and Outside of Final” and it’s devoted to early songs he composed that are NOT from Final Fantasy games.
I mentioned a few songs or alternate versions of songs during the show. Here are links so you can hear them:
Final Fantasy I (PS1) - Matoya’s Cave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IfOsnBDd1c
The Black Mages - Matoya’s Cave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euRaT0V5bSk (I love the organ in this version!)
Love Will Grow (arranged version of Final Fantasy II’s “Ending”) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0wldsle-A0
Have You Ever Seen Me (arranged version of Final Fantasy III’s “Cute Little Tozas”) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxYH2TSU-eo
The Black Mages - Clash on the Big Bridge - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KtKbcTSpp8
Also, if you love the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack and want to hear an interesting take on it, you should check out Mega Ran’s album Black Materia: The Remake. You can find it on Spotify, or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moBMdS3ZaZQ.
