Final Fantasy Resonance Sets New Scale with Massive 120-Track Original Soundtrack
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Square Enix announced a massive 120-song original soundtrack for Final Fantasy Resonance, launching just a week after the HD-2D game drops this October.
Square Enix is making sure its upcoming HD-2D release leaves a serious impression on our ears. According to recent reports from Eurogamer, Final Fantasy Resonance is launching a massive four-CD original soundtrack featuring a staggering 120 tracks just a week after the game drops this October. The collection combines 87 familiar pieces from the original mobile titles with 33 brand-new compositions produced by Noriyasu Agematsu. For context, this massive music drop towers over the physical and digital OSTs of classic mainline titles like Final Fantasy 7 and 10, proving just how much audio firepower Square Enix is packing into this project.
Built on the bones of the shuttered mobile title Brave Exvius, Resonance asks a compelling question for long-time fans who miss the franchise's classic era. The pitch explores what Final Fantasy might have looked like if it kept pushing the boundaries of pixel art instead of shifting entirely to 3D back in 1997. Following the massive success of HD-2D staples like Octopath Traveler, converting a gacha mobile experiment into a cohesive, premium single-player experience is a smart play by the publisher. It is a great example of breathing new life into older IP for modern cross-platform players, especially those who appreciate deep lore and nostalgic aesthetics.
Track titles like Leviathanomachy and A Bloom in the Gloom of Shadows show the team is leaning hard into the dramatic, high-fantasy tone we expect from the franchise. As digital ownership and physical collector editions continue to be huge talking points for dedicated gaming communities, offering a physical four-CD release alongside the game launch is a welcome nod to traditionalists. If the gameplay matches the ambition of its soundtrack and visual style, Resonance could easily become one of the standout releases of the year.
