Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Original Soundtrack will receive a compact disc publication on February 18th in Japan. Preorders have opened at distributor CDJapan for all six series installments, published separately on compact disc.

The "Pixel Remaster" editions of the first six mainline installments are presented in a sprite-based format reminiscent of the Game Boy Advance ports, while also adopting a widescreen display. Quality of life features include a fast-forward option, bestiary and music player support, as well as onscreen mini-maps of dungeons and towns. Character sprite art for the remasters is overseen by pixel artist Kazuko Shibuya.


Kento Hasegawa and Masato Kouda of Design Wave were responsible for arranging the main theme and the second boss battle track, while the former musician arranged the miniboss battle theme, the first boss battle track, and the final battle theme. Tomonori Adachi arranged the sanctuary theme. Ryoue Takagi arranged the opening demo track, the opening theme, and the ending theme. Shingo Kataoka arranged the shop and boat themes, the dungeon music and Mount Gulug theme.

Square Enix Osaka sound designers handled various themes for the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy. Yuji Aoyama and Ayumu Murai arranged the battle, victory and fanfare themes, while the latter arranged the theme of Corneria, the bridge building theme, the key item theme, and "The Crystals Restored." Hidenori Miyanaga arranged the Prelude, the town and save data themes, along with "The Lute" and "Game Over" themes.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is available on Apple Arcade for iOS 13.0 or higher. The soundtrack album is hosted on Steam, with excerpts of all 33 arranged music tracks, overseen by composer Nobuo Uematsu, streaming on the official album website.
