Square Enix Music is doing their best to gives fans of their earlier games some love by bringing the music of two of their classic game franchises to Blu-ray. The first three games of the Final Fantasy series as well as the SaGa series will be seeing their soundtracks brought to Blu-ray, along with video from the games and other art assets showcased in a special “Revival” disc series.
Both revivals are linear progressions. The first SaGa game was known as Final Fantasy Legend on the Gameboy in the states. As such, these revivals are the first three NES/Famicom and Gameboy games in the Final Fantasy series respectively. Nobou Uematsu worked on Final Fantasy 1-3, and also worked on both Legend and assisted with fellow composer Kenji Ito on Legend 2. (Ito would go on to composer for the Romancing SaGa games that succeeded the Legend series) Legend 3 was composed by Square newcomers Chihiro Fujioka and Ryuji Sasai.
The Blu-ray releases will not only feature the soundtracks to the games, but also gameplay and other art assets, as revealed by the Square Enix Music twitter.
