Legendary Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu has revealed he struggled with composing Sephiroth's now-iconic theme tune, One Winged Angel.
In the conversation with NewsPicks on YouTube just below, Uematsu recalls how he struggled to compose One Winged Angel and could only ponder Sephiroth for weeks at a time. "One Winged Angel was a song that I struggled with, actually. Every morning, I would go to work and think about Sephiroth and write something, about three or four musical phrases. And then I'd call it a day," Uematsu says (via a translation by @aitaikimochi on Twitter).
