Do you love Square Enix? If you do, you may very well want to import a new soundtrack CD that's hitting Japan on November 25. Titled Love SQ, the soundtrack is a compilation of classic videogame tunes from the libraries of Square and Enix. Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Romancing Saga and Legend of Mana are all represented.
These aren't just straight original tracks, of course. Each cut has been arranged by an established Japanese musician, so this could be a most interesting album indeed. Here's the full track listing:
- Final Fantasy -- Main Theme (PE'Z)
- Final Fantasy III -- Yuukyuu no Kaze (De De Mouse)
- Chrono Trigger -- Chrono Trigger & Toki no Kairo (Novoiski)
- Chrono Trigger -- Harukanaru Toki no Kanata e (livetune)
- Chrono Trigger -- Kaeru no Theme & Sentou Shori (Sexy-Synthesizer)
- Final Fantasy -- Chocobo no Theme (Good Luck Heiwa)
- Romancing Saga -- Medley (note native)
- Seiken Densetsu Legend of Mana -- Medley (muZik)
- Final Fantasy -- Battle Medley (Pia-no-jaC)
- Final Fantasy -- Prelude (no.9)
Aside from the fact that the track list is so small, this could be quite a cool little album. What do you reckon? Do you love Square Enix enough to seek out these tunes, or have you had it up to here with rearranged Uematsu tunes?
Hey, at least "One Winged Angel" isn't on it.

Well I guess I can't complain. Could be a bit bigger though.
Also, what Magnalon said.
They'll put Chrono Trigger tracks on a legitimate album, and yet won't remake the greatest thing that company has ever achieved?
Fuck these people.
And the original Valkyrie Profile, not the terrible sequels.
Where the fuck is Soul Blazer, ActRaiser, E.V.O., Robotrek, Chrono Trigger, Secret Of Mana, Secret Of Evermore...sweet Christ, I'd even take a 7th Sage remake by now, and that game fucking sucked. Get with it, Square Enix. You're losing me for good really, really soon.
Rage typing is a standard occurrence when I talk about SqEnix online.
Again, the original, not those.....things that came after it.
But anyways, I'm so freakin sick of "Chocobo's Theme" it's not even funny.
Aside from that every single song is great. Not sure I'll import it though.
Sommamabitchez.
I do share the sentiments of wishing there were more games represented, from both the Square and Enix sides..
My gaijin-sense is totally tingling now. Thanks, Ash. :oD
Frankly, fuck Square Enix for another cash-in of incredible music.
agreed
Agreed! Grandia was awesome.
If there's any music from Enix that should definitely be on here, it should ONLY be from Valkyrie Profile, which I think is their best game before the merge.
Valkyrie Profile is made by tr-Ace, enix was the games publisher in western countries.
Cyan's theme FTW.
