Good for him. He's made some of my most favorite music, and for that I am forever grateful. I've read about his work ethic, and the fact that he's still alive blows. I'm glad to hear he's going to take it easy.

I'm sorry what

*GASP*
Announces Retirement
*PHEW*

que the walk in the snow in magitek armor... i mean god damn
He has created an exceptional body of work I listen to in various ways almost daily. I imagine he has inspired many generations of musicians and composers these past near four decades.
Cheers to him.
FFX music was pretty awesome.

He's earned it. Hopefully retirement doesn't suit him though and we get another Mistwalker OST.
