The other day Naoki Yoshida basically confirmed that Uematsu is working on FFVIIR:
Next up finding out what exactly his involvement means. Just overseeing and approving some music? Doing some tunes himself?
Slipping inbetween the usual release date shitposts to say I'm very excited about this. Hoping he's in for more than just a couple of tracks.
Oh man I wonder how they are going to redo the music. They need to make a sample of Still More Fighting and release it to the masses.
The distant world rerecordings are so good. Really wonder if the same style will just be used for the rest of it. Ideally they make it a bit more innovative
Remixing/Rearranging his already amazing soundtrack or making new tracks?
Hopefully a little of both, fully orchestral.

*joke about the game taking a long time*
Exciting news, I know a lot of people are down on the 7 remake but I'm still really looking forward to it so hearing this is really pleasing. Praying for gameplay at E3.

Good to know.
I say we will not see it in our lifetime because it's SE lol

The contract at that time wasnt even arranged yet so maybe he still had nothing to say at that time
That's for the best as far as I'm concerned. Uematsu's arrangement skills are not the greatest.
Not to be pessimistic or anything, but I'm expecting something like a "Music Supervisor" credit. He's gonna oversee remixes and remasters of his original soundtrack, but I doubt he'll compose anything new.
Honestly I'd rather have Tsuyoshi Sekito be the lead composer of FF7 Remake, he has shown to be a tremendous composer and he was the lead guitarist in the Black Mages band. If there's anyone I trust when it comes to re-arrange Final Fantasy VII, it'd be him.
edit: him on the guitar

Really great that they've managed to get him on board. I assume in 2015 when Uematsu was asked the game was at CC2 and Square were still effectively working on a consultancy role (with a few key leading figures). Now that the game is in-house it seems logical to bring back Uematsu in some capacity. Even if he is just there as a consultant I will be happy because it means he has a hand in what the final 'sound' of the game is. Look forward to playing this game within the next couple years (I'm not in the 2021 club, if this game is still episodic I expect it next autumn/fall).
Fine I guess? FFVII had an amazing OST, but no matter how you arrange or remix the sound, I often find myself preferring the original personally, unless FFVII remake have completely new tracks, which it may very well be, so that's sweet.
Nobuo Uematsu and his work on the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack is what inspired me to start playing piano. I always loved the soundtrack to VII, but when I heard his piano renditions I fell in love. The songs take on a new life without the constraints of MIDI during the PS1 era. I can't wait to hear the final mix of the remake. No one other than Uematsu should do it. FFVII soundtrack is a masterpiece, in my opinion.
Hell yeah! The music from that game has stayed with me for so long. I was kind of bummed when I had heard he wasn't involved a while back. I hope there's new pieces to go along with the redone original score.
