Square Enix has uploaded a new official cover on their music YouTube channel. Hiroyuki Nakayama arranged and performed the Final Fantasy IV “Fanfare,” initially composed by Nobuo Uematsu. Additionally, Mai Kondo recorded and mixed the performance. This classic iconic tune is familiar regardless of the instrument used to play it.
An official piano cover of the Final Fantasy IV final boss theme was shared last year.

Fans can utilize a highly-requested new font option, the ability to switch between the original and remastered background music, and several ways to adjust the experience. Specifically, random encounters can be turned off, earned experience and Gil can be amplified, and ABP can be altered. Final Fantasy II also has dedicated boost options to make the experience more accessible. This is a must-play collection for newer fans who haven’t experienced these classics.
The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series has also sold over three million units worldwide.
The collection’s PC versions were recently updated to feature the formerly console-only inclusions, such as the gameplay modifiers and swappable fonts.
