| | In 1985, one of Nobuo's friends, who was working at a video game company called Squaresoft asked Nobuo if he wanted to write music for some of their video games and like we all know, we know what came after that. | | | When Nobuo turned 22, he joined many amteur-bands as a keyboard player, but he discovered that he love writing music more then playing, so he decided to pursuit a career as a composer and send out many demo-tapes to many companies. | | | Nobuo started playing the piano at the age of 12 and has been formerly taught. |

| | Uematsu, who composed the music for the popular Final Fantasy series (the games, not the movie), is also winning a substantial U.S. following — drawing raves from gaming magazines and teens learning to play his songs. | | | Uematsu, a self-taught guitarist and keyboardist, writes while playing test versions of each game, getting "constant feedback" from the development team. | | | In Japan several composers, including Mamoru Samuragoch (Onimusha) and Yoko Shimomura (Legend of Mana), have won acclaim for writing big-screen-quality music for small-screen games. |

| | So, as you can see, any games containing "Final Fantasy" while lacking music by Nobuo Uematsu are terrible games, in fact they are so terrible that Final Fantasy VII seems like a great game compared to them. | | | When composing music for games, Nobuo Uematsu looks at the game content and it puts him in various moods. | | | On the other hand, Nobuo hating a game will cause him to enter a slump of music ability. |
