I met these men last week when they performed with the Seattle Symphony. It was an amazing performance. If you get the chance to see it, go.

For Arnie Roth: Any idea when Dancing Mad will come stateside? I'd love to hear it.

[Hyper Somnia]

OH MY GOD!!! *faints*

*ahem*

I greatly admire you work Mr.Uematsu! What inspired you become a composer for video games?

[xxthelastakatsukixx]

[Vamspider]

which is your favorite final fantasy / which one did u enjoy working on the most / and which is your favorite final fantasy song. (my personal favorite is the Ramstien song at the start and end of FF10 (or X).)

For both: Favorite non Final Fantasy Video Game

[Virgos Belnades]

For Nobuo Uematsu:

Recently, as opposed to FFXII's soundtrack, it became clear that you are putting in more scores for the latter, new Final Fantasy titles. (heard from various sources.)

My question is this; by any chance, will your own band, The Black Mages, have any influence on future songs? Traditionally, The Black Mages are known to create glorious tracks from previously heard songs from the earlier to present FF era.

In the future, will we actually get to hear TBM flaunt their Rock-stylesque "Magick" on future titles? =]

[GamesTesterJan]

Nobuo Uematsu is by far the greatest musical inspiration in our era and certainly the best composer around in my opinion.

I wanted to ask does he enjoy playing the final fantasy games and what is the future for his band The Black Mages!

[Tilted Moonlight]

To both:

What is your least favorite Final Fantasy Game?

[Samurai Takeo]

Uematsu: What is your favorite game out of the FF series, based on the music you composed, and not the gameplay?


Roth: What was the hardest piece of music to conduct? And what is your favorite piece TO compose?

[PersonaEleven]

1. What was your inspriation for the final fantasy pieces you produced?
2. How did you come up for the Final Fantasy 8 Liberi Fatli piece?

[CheshireRabit]

For Nobuo Uematsu: When you were composing the music for the Final Fantasy games, did you picture anything in your head, like a scenery?
