As the rise of generative AI sparks understandable concern amid both the gaming community and developers, various industry icons are making their stance on the matter clear – including Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu, who sees no place for the technology in music.
Speaking in a new interview with JASRAC Magazine (as translated by Automaton), Uematsu shares his thoughts on advancing technology in game development. "There's been a surge of graphical advancements in games in recent years," admits the composer. "But in terms of game music, I feel like it already reached its 'final form' when musicians became able to use their studio recordings in games."
