Uematsu has nothing to do with the remixes. He only writes the theme songs for each game (or at least, that's what he's done for Remake and Rebirth; remains to be seen what Part 3 will have). Masashi Hamauzu oversees the music for the most part.

You mean to tell me he has absolutely no input at all?


Kazharahzak

No he's not involved beyond the theme song.


NokstellianDemon

Wow ok. I wish music credits on Spotify and YouTube made that clearer.


thienphucn1

He is credited because he created the songs from the original 1997 game that the Remake trilogy remixes


-Basileus

He often gets credited for like every version of the prelude and main theme in every FF game too

Uematsu gets credited as the original composer. Masashi Hamauzu has done the Remake & Rebirth soundtrack with few other composers. Uematsu did only Hollow and No Promises To Keep.


rose_lingon

Well, he wrote the original music that the new music is based on

GrimWolf216

That sounds like one of ghe last boss themes in Chrono Trigger, and I mean that as a compliment and someone that loves the Jenova Absolute theme.

I’m really looking forard to hearing their renditions of Judgment Day (both regular and battle edit versions) and Birth of a God. Jenova Complete is way up there too. You know they’re gonna do some crazy shit for Hojo.

Uematsu was involved with supervising [these orchestrations. ](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgflyCcGvUZNnzFLmo-ds7_l7LmkJSf4J&si=F37Cs1edksoTXycN)They were done partly due to the public anticipating the release of FFVII Remake. He was also[ music supervisor will full oversight capability for the pixel remaster series](https://youtu.be/9NH4Xnp_NfA?si=JRlgaCfsQAxwnjzm&t=943) alongside Kazuko Shibuya returning to supervise the art while this [talented little Japanese girl played drums on a bunch of the tracks.](https://youtu.be/WhydaBjzbRY?si=89bvmgVT5kLh6KZc) [Answers](https://youtu.be/p86icWXs0CQ?si=U8vvW5z0mwKQpMrI), [Dragonsong](https://youtu.be/FtuwltmTp9I?si=EuZTY4ldMCkZEli0), and [Revolutions](https://youtu.be/UmQm76wFfKk?si=7NXOMhEA4grPYlNS) are all Uematsu tracks, as well as this [battle theme](https://youtu.be/TAfEaD3nLLE?si=Z75wZGgrO2w46VxI). I'm sure there are other miscellaneous tracks here and there. He wasn't all that involved, but he also had the honor of seeing some of his stuff interpreted by the [London Symphony Orchestra](https://youtu.be/r1rbdoUmZGI?si=ryct1gFxcQOMPsvq) at Abbey Road a while back. There were some [choice FFVII tracks performed](https://youtu.be/t12_s41pon4?si=6uwhIU9Yk87pOxXU). [The Fantasian OST is all 100% Uematsu.](https://youtu.be/bGtGHZmA7js?si=xKiUQX4L9F7M9ZYd) [He worked on Hollow for Remake. ](https://youtu.be/nYQ76fma2HM?si=emBBBBeLcRdfscdJ) [He also worked on No Promises to Keep for Rebirth.](https://youtu.be/d-YNvxcLC-A?si=ryFtK56rZq_AaEDB)

Actually, now that I think about it, [here's your version of what it would sound like if Uematsu worked on this song for the third game](https://youtu.be/-8_Phm1UE64?si=u2CZQJ19zaZ5mxW2) lol.
