Tracks like the “Prelude” or the “Main Theme” are undisputed classics, but neither icon status nor fans’ childhood nostalgia can adequately explain why that is. It might seem like I’m thumbing my nose up at this music, so let me clarify. However, when you combine the young Uematsu’s amateur background, his relatively nascent musical frame of reference at the time, and the heavy limitations of the NES’ sound chip, what you get is pretty simple theme music for what happens to be a pretty simple RPG.

To be clear, I’m not interested in discussing how the first Final Fantasy soundtrack could have improved if he’d just listened to more Herbie Hancock I don’t see how that would even have suited the game. From interviews, I get the idea that he listened to rock or pop more often than electronica or jazz at first you would probably catch him vibing to Rocket Man over Rockit in 1987. The Final Fantasy series’ signature composer taught himself how to play music, and by his own account, he is not great at reading or scoring in the traditional sense.

Considering how ornate his music has become over the series, it’s easy to forget, Nobuo Uematsu is no trained maestro.
