'Love Square Enix' soundtrack has pretty music on it photo

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.

Putting "Enix" in this soundtrack's title is a travesty: this is all Squaresoft's work.

Mannnn only one Romancing Saga song? And it's not even from the second game??

Well I guess I can't complain. Could be a bit bigger though.

Seems to be geared to the SNES and earlier eras, thus One Winged Angel (probably the most recognized song from the franchise) isn't on here.

Also, what Magnalon said.

So...
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.

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.

And the original Valkyrie Profile, not the terrible sequels.

Because they know that by teasing the fans that actually give a shit about their back catalog, they may keep them pacified whilst they continue to release ladyboy dungeon crawlers with sappy love stories intertwined amidst the shadowy plot engineered by a technically advanced government. Bullshit.

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.

Sorry - 7th Saga.
Rage typing is a standard occurrence when I talk about SqEnix online.

Chocobo no Theme... romaji translations at their worst...

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.

What's worse - no Frog theme or Robo theme.

The music stopped being amazing after FFX, hehe I believe the last final fantasy title they did as Squaresoft. I think Uematsu's Lost Odyssey music is his best to date, personally.

@Everyday Legend: Frog's Theme is in there! "Kaeru no Theme".

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

I like Square Enix, just... not in that way.

Gah, like Mag said, ALL of the tracks listed are the work of the legendary Squaresoft, arguably THE masters of the RPG.

Frankly, fuck Square Enix for another cash-in of incredible music.

I loved you before you were grumpy, stupid, smelly and old, SquareEnix.

Valkyrie Profile is made by tr-Ace, enix was the games publisher in western countries.

No singing please. I almost loved Black Mages II if it wasn't for the horrible vocals for "Otherworld".
