Square Enix announced the Japanese Final Fantasy XVI Original Soundtrack release date. The CDs will debut on July 19, 2023. Both standard and Ultimate editions will be available. The standard version will be Ā„6,000 (~$44). The ultimate one is Ā„7,800 (~$57). There’s also an official website for it. The site notes the theme song by Kenshi Yonezu isn’t included.
The difference between the two soundtracks involves how many CDs there are, the packaging, and how extensive the booklet is. The standard one has seven CDs and a booklet with no artwork. The Ultimate version includes artwork in its booklet and an eighth CD with cutscene music.
Here’s a closer look at the standard and ultimate editions of the soundtrack.
Final Fantasy XVI Composer Masayoshi Soken, who also created the FFXIV soundtrack, also shared the news. In his confirmation, he noted itās being done at Bernie Grundman Mastering with Yasuji Maeda. He noted that the team is still working on it.
