Talk:Final Fantasy XI Original Soundtrack

Composition of FFXI OST
Nobuo Uematsu worked for Square Enix (he doesn't work for them any more, he founded his own company Smile Please Co.) and SE assigned him to write the score for FFXI. He enlisted the help of both Naoshi Mizuta and Kumi Tanioka to write certain pieces, but the project belonged to Nobuo Uematsu. Therefore, Nobuo is the person who actually wrote the score to the Original Soundtrack and he is given credit for writing the score by SE. If you own a copy of the CD, he is listed in the credits as the composer, not SE. You can also find this information on SE's music site www.na.square-enix.com/music

Using your US Declaration of Indepency anology, Thomas Jefferson was the author of the document and was adopted by Congress. FFXI OST was written by Nobuo Uematsu and "adopted" by SE.
