From the Dev Blog.
Hello there everyone,
My name is Yamada, and I am in charge of communications for our music publishing department.
Jumping straight into it, I would like to present the newly released “FINAL FANTASY XIV – The Best!” album. Do you have your copy yet?!
As the content of the album was voted on by Warriors of Light from all around the world, this really is the players’ choice of the best tracks from the game!
The album contains the full top 50 tracks that ranked in the Fan Favorite Music Poll that we held in July and August earlier in the year, as well as the track “Answers” that was not included in the vote!
You can also enjoy the three chiptune tracks on the album created by FFXIV Sound Director Masayoshi Soken during the commemorative 14 hour live broadcast.
Check out the dedicated website for full details of the track list!
And in the booklet you will find…
A special interview with Producer and Director, Naoki Yoshida and Sound Director, Masayoshi Soken!
The interview also includes Yoshida and Soken’s ten favorite tracks from the game. Which pieces will these two pick out as their fondest memories…?
This 12 page booklet is packed with the creators passion for creating the music of FFXIV and a look back over 5 years, with some fascinating tales from behind the scenes.
It contains a huge volume of content, with over two hours of conversation and almost no cuts, for an undoubtedly satisfying read!
(*The interview also contains a full English translation covering a total of 7 pages…)
And there is even more! The first run contains an item code that allows you to download the orchestrion music for “Wayward Daughter (Chiptune Version)” and “The Worm’s Tail (Chiptune Version)” from the Extra Tracks section of the album.
*Please note that this item code does not allow you to obtain the orchestrion music for “Rights”.
This “best of” album condenses the most delightful moments from the music of FFXIV and commemorates 5 years of the game. It is an amazing package that I would thoroughly recommend to both the core of veteran Warriors of Light who already own all the other soundtracks, and upcoming neophyte Warriors who have recently taken their first steps in Eorzea but don’t know which soundtrack to buy yet.
Enjoy the music!
