Final Fantasy Composer Wanted To Work On Super Smash Bros 3DS And Wii U

Each entry of Super Smash Bros always has a wonderful soundtrack, but some were wondering why legendary Final Fantasy composer, Nobuo Uematsu, didn’t return for the latest edition on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Well Uematsu says that he did want to work on it, but Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai didn’t send him an invite. However, he isn’t bitter or disappointed as he says that there are lots of notable Japanese musicians who worked on the game.

“I have a feeling that I got the job offer from Mr. Sakurai while we were drinking,” Uematsu says when thinking back to how he came to compose for Brawl. “He would let me selfishly do whatever I wanted, whether it be using an orchestra or using opera singers.”

“Why didn’t I participate in the new Smash Brothers!? Ask Mr. Sakurai! I wanted to work on it! All joking aside, it’s just that, since there are many video game musicians representing Japan who are already participating, there’s no need for me.”

Thanks, MasterPikachu6

  1. Nobuo is just such a genuinely humble guy; it adds to his genius. That being said, not even his music could save future Final Fantasy games from mediocrity.

    1. Have you seen XV?
      And if that genre isn’t your forté, just play Bravely Default, they made it to appease those who miss old Final Fantasy games

      1. Ain’t been a game worthy of the name in over a decade now. Square’s long since lost their ability to make a cohesive traditional RPG. Stupidly Named just overcomplicates things, ruining the fun altogether. If Square had any balls they’d put the brand to rest until they come up with something even half resembling a good game.

  2. Uh, god, most of the samples used on the SmashWiiU soundtrack sound like a kid’s first Garageband attempt, there are a few that use organic, nice-sounding samples, but good, the amateurish-sounding ones are horrible.
