The music is too invasive for a videogame, Sakimoto trying too hard to evoke emotion and driving a player to distraction. Many of the songs in this 4 disc collection could have been written by James Horner or John Williams, and are more appropriate for anything that begins with the word "star." Sound like a good thing? It's not. While Uematsu's work is infectious and subliminal, blending into the gameplay experience seamlessly, Sakimoto's is over-the-top and bombastic. Unfortunately, the work he envisioned isn't what we had in mind, and although it's probably not fair to compare him to Nobuo Uematsu (composer of the first eleven Final Fantasy titles), it's also inevitable, since the two FF music prodigies could not be more contrasting. Featuring over four hours of music and utilizing every conceivable instrument known to man (strings, flutes, percussion, brass, bells, whistles), Sakimoto does everything he can to bring his vision to life. The PlayStation 4 Final Fantasy XV Luna Edition set will be available on 29 November 2016.It's clear that Hitoshi Sakimoto poured his heart and soul into all one hundred songs included in this soundtrack. The latter actually makes sense – if someone’s going to buy a console decked out in Final Fantasy XV then, chances are, they want the movie too. If there’s anything missing then it’s a copy of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, the full-length CG movie that’s essentially a precursor to the game.īy comparison, the Japanese version comes with a rental copy of Kingsglaive whereas the US gets a pricier bundle that swaps out FF XV for the Deluxe Edition (steelbook case containing a copy of the game and Kingsglaive, and a handful of DLC). Power Cord, HDMI Cable, USB Cable, and Manuals.


The full contents for this limited edition package, according to SIE Singapore, are as follows: Of course, with this being Final Fantasy and the main heroine named Lunafreya, I’m sure there’s more to the story. So why the moon? According to game director Hajime Tabata during Sony’s TGS 2016 press conference, it represents Noctis’ constant gazing at it.
