Uematsu to Compose Theme for FFVII Remake Trilogy’s Finale

April 1, 2024 by Carley Garcia

It’s sure to be a tearjerker for longtime fans of the series.

In a new interview posted to the Square Enix Music Channel on YouTube, longtime Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu assured fans he’d be returning to compose the theme song for the final entry to the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy.

Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the original Final Fantasy VII and the best-selling remakes, joined the discussion with game writer Kazushige Nojima.

“Since you worked on the first and second game in the series, it stands to reason that you have to come back for the third,” Nomura said hopefully. “Not that we’ve made it official yet, but I’d like to believe you’re a lock for the next title? You’ll do it, right?”

Uematsu composed the main theme for Final Fantasy VII Remake, Hollow, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, No Promises to Keep.

“It’d be my honor,” Uematsu replied with a laugh. “For starters, I’m going to take a vacation.”

The composer is best known for composing the soundtracks for the first nine mainline Final Fantasy games. Since then, he has contributed tracks to the long-running series and many other games.

“As far as Final Fantasy is concerned, I’m still involved by writing the main themes for the games, but  I don’t think I’ll compose music for a whole game again,” Uematsu said in an interview with Zeit Online. “You would have to give it full throttle for two or three years. And I don’t think I have the physical and mental strength to do it anymore.”

In 2020, Final Fantasy VII Remake brought fans back to Midgar in a big way, selling over 3.5 million copies in just three days. The second game in the trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, was released on February 29 for the PlayStation 5.
