The dungeon crawler game series began with 1997's Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon for PlayStation, marking the introduction of the series' character designer and illustrator Toshiyuki Itahana. Every Buddy for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch is a high-definition remake of the 2008 title Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon for Nintendo Wii.
Music arrangements of Nobuo Uematsu's classic Final Fantasy themes appearing in "Every Buddy" are by multiple artists. They include Yuzo Takahashi of Sapporo-based Joe Down Studio, along with Front Mission 4 composer Hidenori Iwasaki, with co-arrangement and orchestration by Natsumi Kameoka on "Dubstep de Chocobo" and "Toybox de Chocobo." The ending theme is by Chocobo's Dungeon 2 co-composer Kenji Ito.
The soundtrack to the Wii dungeon crawler, subtitled "Labyrinth of Forgotten Time" in Japan, is available for streaming on Apple Music.
