[edit] Name

I could have sworn his name was "Nobuo Uematsu", not "Uematsu Nobuo" Fredrik 19:25, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I've never seen his name credited in romaji spelt any way other than "Nobuo Uematsu" either. However that uses the Japanese order of presenting the surname first -- I'm guessing Wikipedia has a convention of using the English order for naming articles about Japanese persons. This seems wrong to me -- in this case anyway -- but is certainly defensible, and at least there's a redirect from Nobuo Uematsu. -24.80.122.19 07:50, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I just noticed Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(japanese), which states "In general, use the form of a person's name that is most widely known and used by English speakers." Since his name seems to be credited most often as "Nobuo Uematsu" -- and indeed the external links refer to him thus, particularly nobuouematsu.com -- this policy would seem to imply that the page should live at "Nobuo Uematsu". I've gone ahead and moved it. If I have missed some reason why it shouldn't have been moved (sync with the .ja wiki perhaps?) then please don't hesitate to move it back.

[edit] Removed sentence

I have removed the following sentences: "Uematsu's character themes are very memorable. His ending themes bring tears to the eyes of the gamer. Final Fantasy fans just cannot help but enjoy Uematsu's work." Pretty blatant editorializing. Taco Deposit 16:25, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ehrgeiz / Super Mario RPG

Uematsu composed for neither Ehrgeiz nor Super Mario RPG directly. He only receives credit because compositions from previous games were featured within them. For this, I have created a "Derivative Works" section, for games that feature music composed by him, but originally for an entirely different game. The music in this section is always in the case where it is arranged by a different composer. -Kaleb.G

[edit] Tech TV

I think his biography could use a bit of work. I mean, they had an hour show on him on Tech TV... the article seems more like a stub than anything. -- AllyUnion

[edit] Copyvio?

The biography seems to be a rip of his official site. Is it allowed? -- HistoryManiac

No of course not, we should probably tag the article for a complete rewrite or somewhat rewrite since I noticed some of the information is not a direct copy from his site. Alus 07:05, 22 May, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Night in Fantasia

There appears to be no mention of the 'A Night in Fantasia' concerts performed in Sydney... anyone willing to put stuff in? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.68.136.179 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Discography Page?

There are quite a few articles for individual soundtracks by Nobuo Uematsu released as albums, but we have no one page with a list of them in chronological order. I can't see myself having the time to create such a page, but it would be very useful if someone's looking for something to do. Terrafire 21:41, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

I will see what I can do. Alus 04:10, 29 November, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] when is the sheet music coming?

now my question is not if his music is good , but if he will ever make sheet music forhis songs ,because I love these songs!!!!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.219.93.31 (talk • contribs).

You can buy Nobuo Uematsu's sheet music and many other Video game composers sheet music legitamently here [1]. Alus 04:10, 29 November, 2005 (UTC)

He's a Genious!!!!!!!!!

[edit] Page cleanup

I made an attempt to separate the information into biography, musical style, and concert sections, but it still needs work. Kat, Queen of Typos 10:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nobuo

I've also seen his name spelled as Nobou, is that just a typo made by a lot of people? Cao Wei 00:37, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Definitely a typo/misspelling. MarcelLionheart 04:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Robert Walley

Should we not remove Final Fantasy XII from his list of works? He didn't compose the music for the game regardless of whether or not he was originally planned for the job. I've looked into it to try and find out if he contributed anything at all but I've found nothing.

It appears he did something on the OST, or these websites [2][3] are wrong. I want to say I heard he only did one song on it but I do not know. If you can find sources that he did not do anything for the OST please post them here. Alus 05:00, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

He composed the main theme. This is in the game credits. MarcelLionheart 05:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation for "Nobuo Uematsu no Minna Sounano?"

The article mentions he wrote a column titled Nobuo Uematsu no Minna Sounano? Just curious, but what is the english translation? (It might be a good idea to include the english translation in the article as well.) Dugwiki 18:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
