About this episode

The episode discusses the unique soundtrack of Final Fantasy 14 1.0, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, highlighting his musical journey and growth.

We listen to the OST for Final Fantasy 14 1.0, Before Meteor. This soundtrack was primarily composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, and was the final game in the Final Fantasy series that he composed for. In some ways, he shows everything he has learned on his long journey through so many Final Fantasy games, and also how he grew outside of video games in general, as a musician. This is the most unique soundtrack of his career, and we thoroughly enjoyed breaking it down and discussing it.
