If you’ve ever played any Japanese video games, chances are you’ve heard some of the music by famed composer Yoko Shimomura. Square Enix will be releasing a new album featuring a mix of Shimomura’s works, according to a Famitsu report, and this will also include a track from the upcoming Final Fantasy XV.
The album titled memòria: The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura will be centered around her works during the earlier days of Sqaure, with newly rearranged nostalgic tracks from games such as Super Mario RPG, Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Mana, and more.
In addition to the 12 tracks from past games, there will be four bonus tracks, including one from Final Fantasy XV with the title of “OMNIS LACRIMA”.
While the name is new, Famitsu reports that it is a song from the E3 announcement trailer that was shown last year, but you’ll be able to hear it for yourself when the album is released on March 26 for 3,000 yen.
In the meantime, you can check out samples such as ‘Forest Maze’ from Super Mario RPG, ‘Vector to the Heavens’ from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and more.
