...Uematsu's music imbues Final Fantasy games with grandeur and depth, much the way John Williams' score helped propel Star Wars into hyperspace. Unlike movie music, Uematsu's supple, heartfelt tunes loop endlessly - until the user moves to a new scene. To stand up to repeated scrutiny, his work is suitably complex (he uses drums, oboes, strings and synthesizers), but the melodic core is strong (he has released solo piano versions of some songs).
