Video game music has grown increasingly popular in the last few years. Music plays an integral
role in today’s games, enhancing the players’ overall experience. While still a growing market,
video game soundtracks are now sold in major outlets and include a variety of genres such as
rock, hip-hop, electronica, classical compositions, and songs performed by popular artists. The
FINAL FANTASY soundtracks, which are original compositions, have grown so popular that
Time Magazine named series composer Nobuo Uematsu a notable “innovator” in its recent
“Time 100: The Next Wave2—Music” feature. SQUARE ENIX hopes to pioneer awareness and
appreciation of not only its own musical creations, but also video game music throughout

the industry.
