Final Fantasy XIV / Battle Tracks Final Fantasy XIV Battle Tracks is one of two official soundtracks for " Final Fantasy XIV " . It contains battle themes as well as other combat - related tracks , plus a new version of the track " Final Fantasy " ( also known as " Prologue " ) with the name " Opening Theme . " There are two versions of the album . One version comes in a shaped cardboard packaging , which in turn comes in a rectangular clear plastic box , the CD is in a white cloth sleeve and there is no jewel case . The other version is in a jewel case . The fold - out liner notes have the tracklist in Japanese ( kana ) with English equivalents ; a brief profile of Nobuo Uematsu ; shots from the game ; CGI artwork of some of the characters ; and a message from Uematsu titled " A Reminiscence of Final Fantasy - Part 2 " , in both Japanese and English . Liner notes . A Reminiscence of " Final Fantasy " - Part 2 Have you ever felt the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing a project ? The " Final Fantasy " games haven ' t always been made by members that get along with each other . There might be people you can ' t stand , or people that don ' t share your views or aesthetic sense ( although conflict between people of differing opinions can often serve as the catalyst that brings about a positive in direction ) . During development , the disagreements are constant . " Mr . Uematsu , I don ' t know what to do ! I ' ve had enough of this project ! " I can ' t remember the number of times people approached me like that while I was working at Square Enix . But that ' s the job . If you ' ve had enough , can ' t stand it , can ' t keep up the pace , the only thing left to do is quit . It ' s not the same as your activities back in school . If you don ' t want to quit , then you ' ve just got to tough it out until the end , through all the tears and frustration . And the game somehow gets done . You bring it to completion . And there is no feeling quite like that sense of accomplishment . There is a tradition for the " Final Fantasy " series ( I don ' t know if it still happens ) where all the team members get together on the night the game is completed , and watch as a selected member plays from the last dungeon , on to the last boss , and through to the ending . Everyone with beer in hand , of course . Once the ending credits roll , the sounds of cans being opened is joined by thunderous applause . In that emotion - filled moment , you think " Wow , we ' ve been through some crazy times , but somehow we made it through again . " That thoughts give you the confidence to face the next project , and transforms those you argued with into comrades - in - arms . That moment is priceless . I still remember when , during the launch party for " Final Fantasy VI " , the notoriously unforgiving Mr . Sakaguchi gave a speech . " Thanks to every one of you — we have created the best game in the world ! No ! The universe ! Thank you ! " I cried . There were tears on my face . Those tears made me realize just how much I had invested myself in the project . I hope that the " Final Fantasy " games forever continue to be a source of joy not only for the fans , but for the developers as well !
