Now, in a new interview with German publication Zeit Online ahead of a performance of his new orchestral show Merregnon: Heart of Ice, Uematsu said he thinks his days of composing full video game soundtracks are over.

Asked if he ever felt that one day nostalgia could take over and convince him to write an entire soundtrack for a game again as opposed to just a main theme, Uematsu replied that he didn’t see it happening.

    What makes you think you need a big studio to come up with same music in your head and write it down on a piece of paper?

    Most of the soundtracks he worked on were made in business settings with many other people working on it in commercial studios.

      I don’t think that at all. But I have met a number of kids who seem to think they absolutely need red cameras, Mac studios, and other ‘broadcast quality’ items to make a simple college video. The point was exactly that: if you’re.good, it doesn’t matter the equipment. It’ll show.
