Nobuo Uematsu - Eternal Wind (from Final Fantasy III)

Nobuo Uematsu is a renowned Japanese composer best known for his work in the video game industry, particularly for the Final Fantasy series. However, I must clarify that Final Fantasy III's soundtrack, including the track "Eternal Wind," was not composed by Nobuo Uematsu. Final Fantasy III, released in 1990 for the Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System in the West), had its music composed by regular Square Enix (formerly Square) composer, Nobuo Uematsu.

Here are some interesting facts about Nobuo Uematsu and his contributions to the Final Fantasy series:
