Jérémie Kermarrec
Regularly performed in symphonic concerts around the world, the music of the Final Fantasy saga ranks among the most famous and celebrated in video games. Why does it generate so much passion? How was it conceived? In what way has it evolved over the entries, as well as through changes in direction and composers?
With the support of extensive documentation and the numerous interviews he has conducted throughout his career, author Jérémie Kermarrec delves into Nobuo Uematsu and his love for progressive rock, as well as his successors (Masashi Hamauzu, Masayoshi Soken, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Yôko Shimomura, etc.), who have had the daunting task of succeeding him while imposing their own musical sensibility. It's a process that Nobuo Uematsu himself has always encouraged.
With "The Music in Final Fantasy: From Nobuo Uematsu to His Successors," dive into the fascinating behind-the-scenes of an extraordinary video game musical epic spanning over 35 years!
