 During this work experience , with his school term ending , Mitsuda saw an advertisement for a sound producer at Square in a copy of Famitsu magazine at a game company he was visiting . With no clear plans as to what he wanted to do after school , he applied for the position . Mitsuda sent a demo which won him an interview at the game studio . Despite the self @-@ described " disastrous " interview with composer Nobuo Uematsu and sound programmer Minoru Akao , in which he claimed to only want the job as a " stepping stone " in his career and admitted that he had never played many of Square 's biggest games , such as the Final Fantasy series , Mitsuda was offered a position on the company 's sound team in April 1992 .
