Uematsu is my number one. The rest of those you listed are phenomenal, too, plus several more. I can't really rank them, I just know my favourite.

Yoko Shimomura seems like the obvious one out. I agree with those two names, even if for me it is easily Uematsu

I mean theres a lot of great composers, I like Masufumi Takada even more than Shimomura and I didn't even put him in the list. lol
