Uematsu should get the job, as his music is perfect for this type of project (obviously). Though, I wouldn't mind hearing an Arnold, Williams, or Goldsmith approach. That would be an ideal scenario.

As fior the music, it was great in the game, in that context.
Not to slight Uematsu's talent, but I don't see that kind of music flying too well on the big screen. Too cheesy. but then, that's the only game score of his I have heard. I really liked the finale music. Was that his original music, or someone else's ? it was a completely different in style from the rest of the score.

This I'll see.

Although (And I'm bound to get jumped for this), I disliked FF7 and FF8, I loved the original 3 games for the good ol' Nintendo and Super Nintendo. Yes, I played those for weeks on end, sleeping only when absolutely neccesary.

Anyway, as much as I appreciate good MIDI music, (And I cheered when I saw "MIDI Programmers" in the credits for "Pokemon"), a great epic fantasy film needs something more lengthy and themish, know what I mean?

Video Game MIDI composers tend to write shorter pieces, just writing whatever comes to mind, then try to find places to insert them into the game.

"Hmm, I just wrote this funny little sherzo type piece, I think I'll put it in when the main character meets the dancing leprechans. Yeah, that'll do the trick."

Other times, they improvise to the moment, then let loose with the few themes they've constructed for major characters.

I must admit, the music from FF3 was a great inspiration to me. I listened, and expanded my style. People are always telling me that my music sounds like it would be great for a Final Fantasy game. I say. "Yeah.... Whatever."
