Last year we got Kenji Ito’s album which covered the first Seiken Densetsu, as well as the Sword of Mana GBA remake and Seiken Densetsu 4: Dawn of Mana. Then, in August, SE is making good on their promise to publish “self-arranged” albums from the Mana series. So, those 3 albums are all planned for July. Purchase Battle SQ (Standard): CDJapan | Play-Asia Purchase Beer SQ (Standard): CDJapan | Play-Asia Purchase Battle SQ (LE): CDJapan | Play-Asia Purchase Beer SQ (LE): CDJapan | Play-Asia Both Beer and Battle have arrangements for SaGa Frontier II, and the latter also has something from Sigma Harmonics! There are some other great, obscure titles represented across these albums as well, including Tobal No.1, Bahamut Lagoon, Live A Live (an apparent favorite at SE Music for all the times they’ve been including this game on their SQ albums), Seiken Densetsu 3, Rudora no Hihou, Chocobo’s Dungeon, and more! Great oldschool FF selections as well! Audio samples suggest that Beer SQ will be of a similar soundscape to Cafe SQ, whereas Battle SQ will just rock hard. Very interesting things to note about the song selection: first, that Masashi Hamauzu is getting a lot of love. We don’t know what the bonus tracks will be for the LEs yet, but we do know they will come on a separate disc.

Nice!īeyond FFXI, this summer will have normal editions and limited editions for “ SQ Chips 2,” “ Beer SQ,” and “ Battle SQ.” If you head to vgmdb (that’s what those links point to), you can check out the full tracklists for these three albums. There’s also going to be a compilation album (with one exclusive bonus track) called “Sword Songs ~ Final Fantasy XI Battle Collection” ( CDJapan). Alongside the planned SQ Chips 2 ( CDJapan | Play-Asia), they’re doing a special chiptunes mini-album just for FFXI called “XI Chips -Final Fantasy XI Chiptune-” ( CDJapan). Also, if you’re still playing FFXI, buying tickets will net you a special in-game item “Maestro’s Baton.” (tickets here) If you ever played FFXI for any period of time, this will be an unforgettable event. Tickets went on sale as of a few weeks ago, and there is a VIP ticket level that includes meet-and-greet with Arnie Roth, Kumi Tanioka, and Naoshi Mizuta.
It’s going to be on September 22 (right on the “technical border” of Summer and Fall) at the Zellerbach Auditorium. I hope to be there, but I’m not sure if I can get out to the west coast. With expansion content included, the game sports about 10 hours’ worth of original music, so there’s plenty to arrange.īefore even getting to those albums, though, it’s worth noting that in Los Angeles there’s going to be a tenth anniversary concert! All FFXI! That’s crazy. Specifically, Square Enix is going overboard for the tenth anniversary of their MMORPG Final Fantasy XI. It’s a little overwhelming, and we’re still in the dark on some of these albums, but it’s worth noting that they’re on the way. If we don’t do your favorite titles enough justice, don’t be shy- make sure to give us a stern talking to in the comments concerning how massively overrated Final Fantasy VII was, how totally unfair we were with Final Fantasy XIII, or why Crisis Core doesn't even belong on the list.Square Enix’s music department is gearing up for a pretty ridiculous summer in terms of album releases. We’re sorting and ranking twenty five of these iconic games from worst to best. High expectations leave an awful lot of room for disappointment, after all. While Final Fantasy’s running legacy is one of undeniable success, it can hardly be claimed that every release was just as good as the last.
#Final fantasy xi ost series#
With a remake of one of the most widely acclaimed games in the series on the horizon, it seems only fitting to take a few moments and look over the extensive catalog of titles that have kept us company over the years. Square consistently goes above and beyond to deliver us the familiar concepts we know and love in this instantly recognizable, internationally acclaimed series while remaining unflinchingly innovative with every new chapter. We generally know what to expect when we see a Final Fantasy title, and those expectations tend to be fairly high with good reason. Final Fantasy is a name that truly defines an RPG sub-genre all its own, having forged an incredible legacy and reputation over three long decades in the gaming industry. The terms “iconic” and “definitive” get tossed around so often that they tend to lose their impact when utilized in a context where they’re truly needed, and I feel like this is definitely one of those situations.
