Final Fantasy VII Rebirth original soundtrack coming in April
The soundtrack for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be officially released soon.
Revealed yesterday, the soundtrack will be released in physical and digital formats on April 10. The 175-track release features music composed by Mitsuto Suzuki and Masashi Hamauzu of MONOMUSIK Inc. along with original music by Nobuo Uematsu. A special five-song preview album is available on digital services right now. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s theme song “No Promises to Keep,” which was composed by Uematsu with vocals from Loren Allred, is also available on digital services right now.
Suzuki said this about working on the soundtrack:
“One of the most thrilling parts of composing for FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH was aligning the music to the backstory, direction and story progression of a moment, establishing a sonic foundation on which the entire development team could build an unforgettable scene. There are sections that dig deeper into music from the original game, and sections that were newly crafted for this title. I hope players will find delight in the musical elements and discoveries to be made.”
Hamauzu also said:
“Our whole team spent a lot of time and effort on every song in the game, tapping into everything we’ve learned as composers and musicians in our careers. I hope players enjoy the result as much as we enjoyed crafting it.”
The soundtrack can be pre-ordered here. A “Special edit version” of the soundtrack, which includes a bonus-track CD of mini-game music, sold out in a matter of minutes.
Released last month, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth earned awards for Most Anticipated Game at The Game Awards and Most Wanted Game at the Golden Joystick Awards.
