Square published role-playing game SaGa Frontier 2 for Sony PlayStation on April 1st of 1999, four years to the day prior to the merger with developer Enix.
Produced by Akitoshi Kawazu, the stylized visual design of the game was spearheaded by Final Fantasy XVI director Hiroshi Takai serving as art director, together with franchise illustrator Tomomi Kobayashi. Music for the game is by Unlimited Saga composer Masashi Hamauzu.
The soundtrack album was pressed on three compact discs by Square's music publishing label DigiCube, coinciding with launch, decorated with cover art by Kobayashi. Recorded that month, Hamauzu's acoustic arrangement album followed in July of that year, entitled "Piano Pieces SF 2: Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2."
Both the original soundtrack and piano covers are available for streaming on Spotify and YouTube Music, courtesy of Square Enix. A piano cover of "Mißgestalt" performed by Toru Tabei can be viewed on the Square Enix Music YouTube channel.
