Final Fantasy composer to part with Square Enix

After 20 years, famed Final Fantasy composer, Nobuo Uematsu, is rumored to be moving on.
According to reports, Uematsu has plans to join a different company, Smile Please, sometime this month. It has been suggested that the move was influenced by recent time spent with his band, The Black Mages. Apparently, Uematsu felt that his schedule at Square Enix was too demanding, and he has decided to "graduate" into a new setting, where he will have more freedom to work at his own pace and define his focus.
