Forge Ahead: Final Fantasy XIV premieres on streaming platforms
"Forge Ahead" is the fifth arrangement album Blu-ray published by Square Enix revisiting music tracks from the massively multiplayer role-playing game Final Fantasy XIV.

The Blu-ray begins with a concert centering on seven piano renditions performed by Keiko, with vocals by Amanda Achen. "Flow" can be viewed on the publisher's YouTube channel, overseen by video director Noriyasu Kumada (dwango).

Six band covers by The Primals include "Close in the Distance" and "Flow Together," featuring the voice of character Raubahn Aldynn, portrayed by Jason Charles Miller. Two additional piano arrangements and four band covers serve as extra tracks to sound out the album.

The album, featuring compositions by Masayoshi Soken, is now available for streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited.
