Nobuo Uematsu confirmed for Final Fantasy VII Remake
The producer of Final Fantasy VII Remake, Yoshinori Kitase, has confirmed in an interview with a Japanese magazine that legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu will be at the reigns to produce the score. Tweets by aibo, reported by Miraculous Maku, provided the news earlier today.
A new FFVII Remake interview finally confirms Nobuo Uematsu is involved in the project. He previously stated in late 2015 that he had no involvement at all with it. Good to hear he is returning! 🙂https://t.co/AHxtnM1Ybu

This seems like the most logical outcome, with Uematsu composing for the original game back in the 90s, and ensuring the integrity of the score in the remake.
Let us know how you feel about the news in the comments below.
Edit: A previous version of this article reported that Miraculous Maku translated the post. However, this is incorrect and was actually summarized by him after asking aibo what the magazine had said.
