I haven't seen or met Nobuo Uematsu. I probably won't see him unless there will be a live FF concert in Finland. He visited Finland somewhere in the early 90's when he was writing the music for FFV and FFV: Dear Friends (which explains the Lappish chanting in some of the songs, some songs sound a bit like Finnish folk music and there's a song called "Waltz Suomi", which means "Waltz Finland"), but I didn't know of FFs back then, so I didn't get to see him.
