Nobuo Uematsu Involved in Final Fantasy VII Remake

I think it's also an internal joke within the company.
As the Distant Worlds concert in London last year they played I think it was Bombing mission with the remake trailer on in the background. Arnie Roth the conductor at the end of the piece said to the SE staff in attendance to hurry up with the game and got a huge cheer.
To my knowledge, Uematsu doesn't really arrange or orchestrate music. Good to know he's involved in some way (probably in a supervising role), but I'm more interested to know who's going to work with him. Some of S-E's recent collaborators are such amazing orchestrators — Sachiko Miyano and Yoshitaka Suzuki come to mind. I would love to see them involved!

Kitase a few months ago:
And I would be careful with joking about Nomura delaying FFVIIR:
But that doesn't make these tired-ass jokes in every single FFVIIR better (the same ones as for Versus for a decade - and KH3) :shrug:
What has he been doing since he left Square? I really haven't heard anything from him since that time. I've read more than once how he's now "past his prime", but I can gauge how true that statement is.
Mostly small a-la-carte contract work. He did the music in Terra Battle and Terra Battle 2 (I think?), as well as contributing a few single songs to some other projects. The last full soundtracks he worked on were The Last Story and the original pre-reboot FFXIV. Most of his work on OG FFXIV was not carried over into A Realm Reborn, with a few small exceptions.
Most recently, he contributed a couple of pieces to the FFXV multiplayer expansion, Comrades.
Honestly, if Square really wanted to pull out all the stops, they would get Shimomura to do the whole soundtrack by herself.
I see. How did you find the soundtrack of The Last Story?
He has also composer the main themes FF14 ARR and Heavensward and Stormblood also FF15 Comrades Main Theme:
Just have Fantasy Life's Tavern theme music by Uematsu play throughout the whole game and it would be better than the entire FFVII soundtrack being in the game:
I mean, I'm not really the biggest fan of VII's soundtrack (especially compared to VI's), but...what.
Holy shit, he composed Dragonsong!? Damn. Dude's still got it.
I would imagine he's the guy "in charge" but not the person doing all the arrangements. So the composers/arrangers working on the OST for FFVIIR report directly to him and he decides if their work captures the spirit of his original tracks well.
This is a remake, after all - they're not going to do an entirely new soundtrack. The game already has a score, it just needs to be updated.
It's FFVIIr, I'm pretty sure all the fans were day 1 whether or not Uematsu was involved.
This would also be acceptable. He would essentially be the producer; as in, "music producer" like we understand it in the west.
Basically. I really don't think Uematsu has the bandwidth to completely rearrange his entire score from scratch at this point, but keeping an eye on a bunch of people doing it for him and making sure they don't mess it up wounds 100% like something he would be game to do.
Now just have the guch's involvement and I would be super excited
Stop wondering, none of us will be alive

I'm not so sure this is 100% confirmation Uematsu is working on the Remake. The interview this article was pulled from is related to "BRA ★ BRA Final Fantasy", It's heavily implied in the interview that he is, so I'm cautiously optimistic:
I just put up an article about this over on thelifestream.

"Kitase : Or so I thought, but the power of the words FFVII man"
What's this ?
