FFXIV Dev Blog: The Sound of Music

Posted in Final Fantasy XIV | 4 Comments | By: Gahoo

Fernehalwes back again for another installment of the Developers’ Blog.

Recently, I’ve seen several people on the Lodestone forums express how cool it would be if, instead of pics, I could sneak a few music clips up on the blog as well. So, I donned my ninja garb, popped open a bottle of prism powder, and slipped into the shadows of the sound department—destination: FINAL FANTASY XIV sound director Masayoshi Soken’s studio.

But alas, I should have known! Soken detects his prey by sound, not sight! I never stood a chance…and now I am his prisoner, forced to translate this message…

—–

Greetings earthlings! I now control the horizontal and the vertical. The Developers’ Blog is mine, and by mine, I mean the personal property of one Masayoshi Soken—Japan’s number one fan of knee-socks—a.k.a. Knee-Soken!

Soken Makes Hildibrand’s Theme Available As A Free Download

Posted in Final Fantasy XIV | Leave a comment | By: Fusionx

The launch of Final Fantasy XIV: Eorzean Frontiers has been anything but smooth. In order to make up for the complications that arose when putting the album up on the iTunes Music Store earlier this week, Soken has made a track available to download from his blog.

The track, which was sadly absent from the album is “Agent of Enquiry” otherwise known as the theme of a certain inspector that many players have come to love as a result of his comedic cut scenes.

The track is available from Soken’s blog here.

Final Fantasy XIV Frontiers Albums Now Available On iTunes

Posted in Final Fantasy XIV | Leave a comment | By: Fusionx

The other day we reported that “Final Fantasy XIV: Eorzean Frontiers” an album consisting of 38 tracks from both the initial launch of FFXIV as well as its following patches had appeared on the iTunes music store and then suddenly vanished.

The album was taken offline due to an issue with song titles and song data. However, the album is now back online (with seemingly no changes having been made to the titles containing errors) for a price of $11.99. However, there are also four other albums now present that are a part of the Final Fantasy XIV Frontiers collection. These albums, named after the city states currently present in the game, break down Eorzean Frontiers into smaller pieces in case anyone out there doesn’t want all of the tracks and are available for $3.99 each.

FFXIV Eorzean Frontiers Collection Appears And Vanishes

Posted in Final Fantasy XIV | Leave a comment | By: Fusionx

Released this week on iTunes is Final Fantasy XIV: Eorzean Frontiers- a $3.99 collection of 38 tracks that includes music from the original game as well as tracks included in the patches since its release.

Also, removed from iTunes this week was Final Fantasy XIV: Eorzean Frontiers- a $11.99 collection of 38 tracks that includes music from the original game as well as tracks included in the patches since its release.

The album changed prices and vanished as mysteriously as it appeared on several of the iTunes music stores including North America, Japan, and France.

By looking at the different music stores we can see that there are several inconsistencies between track lists and track lengths which could be the reason they’re not currently available.

We’ve asked Square Enix for more information on this album and will update this post when we hear anything.

Update:

In case you were trying to purchase the new FFXIV soundtrack on iTunes and wondering why it is not currently available, we discovered a bug with the song titles and the song data when it is actually downloaded. In order to resolve the issue we have temporarily taken it off of iTunes.

We will let you know when we finish fixing the issue and the soundtrack is available for purchase again. Apologies for the problem, but we should have it back up soon.
