Uematsu Nobuo is Still The Best

So I got the Final Fantasy XIII soundtracks and even though I like the music, I still wish Uematsu had collaborated with it. We would have been saved from the stupid Leona Lewis situation =_= *sigh* Oh well. Oh, I got the Japanese version of the soundtracks so I don't have to deal with a stupid English pop song.

Anyway, as much as I do like the music for this particular Final Fantasy installment, it's just really different. I wonder if Hamauzu Masashi will be doing the Fabula Nova Crystallis series from now own. It would make sense to me if he did all the music for the series, but still doesn't keep me from hoping that Uematsu will collaborate.

I am kind of hoping for Final Fantasy Versus XIII to come out soon, but I don't think it will be out for at least another year or two. They have been developing Final Fantasy XIII since I was in high school, it seems -- I think it was probably around the same time the first version of Advent Children came out. So it took them over three years to develop the game and then they had to put it on a diet and strip out enough material that could be made into a separate game =_=; Sounds really sad to have all that work wasted on nothing. I hope they use it for something else.

Anyway, Versus XIII was shown in 2006 as well, but since everyone has been working on the development of the flagship game, I'm not sure if they have made much progress on Versus. We'll just have to see. Maybe we'll see it in another two years. I think Versus looks so much more interesting than all the other games due to the fact that they have taken a "realistic" approach to things. I tried to watch some of the trailers, but they're kind of bad quality on youtube. Oh well ^_^;
