The Background of Iconic Track Mashups

Dissidia Duodecim FF (hereafter DDFF) is a new Final Fantasy title set in modern Tokyo. The game features characters from various series engaging in boss battle-style team battles. Among these, the remixed 'mashup BGM' of past series' music has become a hot topic.

Release of the Second Soundtrack

Today, October 30, 2026, DDFF's 'Original Soundtrack PLUS' was released. This album includes tracks combining orchestral music by Hitoshi Sakimoto with HIPHOP rhythms, as well as poignant iconic tracks arranged in rock style.

Interview with the Music Production Team

In this interview, Yuki Mizuno, Takafumi Imamura, and Hiroki Hirose, who are involved in music production, share the behind-the-scenes stories of iconic track mashups. According to Mizuno, the song selection is conscious of character-related tracks, and the arrangement aims to provide unexpected surprises.

Episode of Song Selection

Mizuno states that prioritizing song selection to satisfy FF fans is crucial. For example, when selecting the track for Firion from Final Fantasy II, choosing the familiar main theme was a deliberate effort to please many players.

Imamura notes that fresh ideas were incorporated during the music production process, with intentions to continue taking on various challenges in the future.
