Often referred to as the John Williams of the gaming world, Uematsu has been composing music for nearly three decades. But then I met the man who eventually became my husband, and while we were dating, we burned musical CDs for one another-a sort of successor to traditional mix-tapes, if you will-and one of the CDs I received from him included two songs that forever changed the way I listened to video game music: One-Winged Angel and Liberi Fatali, both composed by Nobuo Uematsu for the Final Fantasy series.
