Fans of the massively popular MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 found another reason to be thankful as the Endwalker OST was announced today. Ever since last summer, Square Enix has been on a roll with Final Fantasy 14, and nothing, including login queue times, seems likely to stop the juggernaut. With a huge surge in the number of players thanks to streamers and missteps from competitors to the release of the critically-acclaimed Endwalker expansion, things have been looking up for Director Yoshi P and his team.
The official Final Fantasy soundtrack will release on February 23, 2022, for $54.99. It will come on Blu-Ray Disc and has a preorder bonus of an additional sleeve. There are 62 tracks listed in addition to a chiptune version of the Endwalker theme. Those that have played the latest expansion are aware that Square Enix has knocked it out of the park once more with the musical accompaniment for the MMO and are only continuing a trend of fantastic music accompanying an equally marvelous story.
Included with the soundtrack are several additional items including an in-game code for the Wind-up Vrtra minion and extra movies like the Final Fantasy 14 Digital Fan Festival 2021 and Endwalker music video. At this time it is unknown when the soundtrack will come to streaming services like Spotify, but it is likely only a matter of time as the other expansions' OSTs have made their way there.

Final Fantasy 14 just recently released its 6.05 patch, adding several new challenging modes including the Savage form of the Pandaemonium raid. The title has proven so successful that it has had to temporarily halt sales of the game to relieve congestion on login servers. When the worst thing about the game is an issue that stems from its massive popularity, it's hard to argue that the team at Square Enix isn't playing the right notes.
Music has always been one of the strongest components of any Final Fantasy title. The music has been so successful that Square Enix and its composers have been able to go on worldwide tours playing music from across the series. Accompanying the concerts were two albums entitled Dear Friends that featured the studio versions of songs played. While some titles may not have won over every fan, not many will disagree about the caliber of the music produced. Much like the artwork by the legendary Yoshitaka Amano, or chocobos, or a new Cid with each release, the music of Final Fantasy is a staple. So, with a new OST, that already grand collection of music grows.
Final Fantasy 14 is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
