Ah, yes, the mastermind behind the musical scores of the FF series. I wasn't really sure to put this in General FF or the VG music, but I put it in General FF because it has more to do with the series than the actual music.

I just finished watching a short, 20 minute(FAR from being long enough for such a titan) biographical show on Nobuo Uematsu on G4-Tech TV and lots of Tech TV staff members were talking about how his music warps you into the FF worlds, which is nothing but true. This is my question: how much effect will Nobu-san's retirement have on the FF series? And when Square finds a replacement, will he be anywhere near as incredible as Nobu?

On the first question, I believe that the FF series will be just as good, but the musical scores surely won't be as good. As for the second question, FFX-2 answers it.
