When I met Nobuo Uematsu in Stockholm last week, I asked him about the release plan for the third The Black Mages album. The answer I got: March next year.

So, it is decided, then?

"Yes, in my heart! I have so many reasons to be finished on time", he said.

Nice!  Can't wait.

That's cool! I wonder if Mr. Goo makes a comeback...

I'll believe it when I see it. Keeping my fingers crossed that this date sticks...

My Black Mages III wish list:

Devil’s Lab (FF VI)
Messenger of Destruction (FF IX)
The Dark Crystals (FF III)
Birth of the God (FF VII)
You’re Not Alone! (FF IX)
Judgment Day (FF VII)
The Fierce Battle (FF VI)
The Extreme (FF VIII)
The Dragon Spreads Its Wings (FF V)

And personally, I LIKED Mr. Goo.

I, too, liked Mr. Goo. I might detect some anti-FFVII sentiment in 3... 2... 1...
