However, his critique is more technical than creative. While he admits the “melody and chord progressions are acceptable,” he remains haunted by perceived flaws that most listeners would never notice. “I see points of reflection—parts that sound flat or segments that should have been edited more precisely,” he noted. “The melodies themselves aren’t bad, though.”
Despite his usual reluctance to reflect on his work, Uematsu acknowledges that Final Fantasy IX holds a special place in his heart. His affinity for the title stems from its aesthetic roots and traditional atmosphere. “I was thrilled when the series returned to its medieval origins for FF9,” he said, describing himself as a “medieval nerd” who has always admired the genre’s timeless appeal.

And while a full JRPG remake remains elusive, reports suggest the Final Fantasy IX animated series has been revived, with a tentative 2028 release window in sight.
