But “mixed bag,” you say? I truly do not see it this way. I understand the frustration: this is not a unified set of music, as it is not all from the same lead composer (as the base game had Yoko Shimomura). “Mixed bag” seemed to be the metaphor du jour. I am referencing a variety of posts from forum users, with sources ranging from reddit and GameFAQs to vgmdb and even RPGFan’s own Discord server. Some fans of the FFXV soundtrack have panned the Volume 2 soundtrack for being a mixed bag. But we can all bid farewell to music for Luna, Aranea, and Noctis. I imagine a final soundtrack, perhaps digital-only, will be released for Episode Ardyn.
But seriously … five discs? The more surreal thought for me, at the time, was the possibility of a just-as-large “Volume 3.” However, as FFXV fans discovered later in 2018, almost all of the planned DLC was canceled. 01 – Shield of the King – Theme of EPISODE GLADIOLUSĠ6 – Battle on the Big Bridge (EPISODE GLADIOLUS Version)Ģ1 – Home Sweet Home – Theme of EPISODE PROMPTOĭisc Three: Multiplayer Expansion ComradesĪfter the initial launch of Final Fantasy XV, Square Enix kept a steady stream of DLC coming along, culminating with the March 2018 update that brought some finality to the multiplayer “Comrades” DLC, as well as the bevy of small updates that came with “Royal Edition.” This “Volume 2” soundtrack was also released that month.
