ファイナルファンタジーXIV
The mini-albums "Final Fantasy XIV: Battle Tracks" and "Final Fantasy XIV: Field Tracks" were the first releases of music from the game, and were published by Square Enix on September 29, 2010, a week after the game itself was released. They feature selected tracks from "XIV". The music was composed by Uematsu and arranged by Tsutomu Narita. Kenichiro Fukui also helped arrange some of the pieces on the "Field Tracks" mini-album. "Battle Tracks" has nine pieces, and includes the game's opening theme, the boss theme "Nail of the Heavens", and "Final Fantasy XIV"s rendition of Uematsu's "Victory Fanfare". "Field Tracks" predominantly features the main themes for the game's countries Ul'dah, Gridania and Limsa Lominsa, along with other pieces of music heard during traveling, for a total of eight tracks. Each mini-album was accompanied by special liner notes by Uematsu describing his experiences writing music for the series, with particular reference to the first game.
