Conclusion

                Nobuo Uematsu left Square Enix, as they are now called, after Final Fantasy XI in 2004 since he disagreed with the companies new location. He then produced music as a freelance composer for a few years, most notably is the group of his called The Black Mages who play metal fusion versions of his Final Fantasy compositions. However, he has been signed onto the Final Fantasy team once again in Final Fantasy XIV. I listened to one of his new songs from Final Fantasy XIV in a live concert in Sydney and it carries on his style very well. I also used the concert to help me with determining the instrumentation of Aerith's Theme and One Winged Angel. 
                Nobuo Uematsu has had a long and successful career as a composer, and has many more successes to come. Since he has a unique style that is clearly distinguishable by ear to most people, it will be an obvious comeback when he does, since I am sure that he will produce another fan favourite. The unique way he composes, melody first, attributes to his flexible harmonies and catchy melodies, as well as his ability to capture the necessary emotion or theme. These pieces display his ability to mix these elements and to move the audience to feel connected to the game they were playing. That is essentially what you would hope to find in a video game composer after all.
