Final Fantasy 40th Anniversary Album Revealed [Confirmed]

Square Enix has officially announced Final Fantasy 40th Anniversary: The Crystal Edition, a commemorative soundtrack collection releasing worldwide on January 6, 2027, on CD and vinyl formats to celebrate four decades of the legendary role-playing game franchise. According to verified reports from Siliconera, the celebratory release features exactly one signature track from each of the sixteen mainline entries. The physical product will arrive as a single compact disc or a premium two-record gatefold vinyl set. In Japan, pricing is confirmed at 3,600 yen (roughly $23) for the CD edition and 8,000 yen (approximately $51) for the vinyl package, with North American and European storefront listings scheduled to launch in the coming weeks. Track curation spotlights fan-favorite anthems across eras, including the original "Main Theme" from Final Fantasy I, "The Rebel Army" from Final Fantasy II, "Eternal Wind" from Final Fantasy III, and "Theme of Love" from Final Fantasy IV. Later franchise peaks are anchored by Sephiroth's iconic "One-Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII and "Blinded by Light" from Final Fantasy XIII.
