This year, Square Enix has pulled out all the stops to make FFXI’s 8th Anniversary celebrations their biggest event yet. After presenting the annual art contest and the Mog Bonanza, they have now just announced the release of a deluxe edition soundtrack album.
Titled “FINAL FANTASY XI 8th Anniversary: Memories of Dusk and Dawn”, the full album is now available in iTunes for $9.99. 20 of the 27 tracks are by Japanese video game composer and musician Naoshi Mizuta while the rest of the compilation feature works of other Japanese artists by the likes of Kumi Tanioka, Noriko Matsueda, and Nobuo Uematsu.
The music is vast and varied—from the calming zen sounds of “The Sanctuary of Zitah” to the fan favorite final battle theme “Awakening”, there is something for everyone.
