Square Enix Launches Massive YouTube Music Channel With Tons Of Game Soundtracks

Right now you can find quite a bit of classic, and some contemporary, Square Enix game representation sprinkled throughout the channel’s playlists. The “Final Fantasy” series is pretty much a given and includes multiple game soundtracks along with new arrangements, holiday mixes, and the like. But you can also listen to the “Chrono Trigger” and “Chrono Cross” soundtracks in their entirety, a whole lot of stuff from the “Mana” series (“Secret of Mana,” “Trials of Mana,” etc), and a whole lot of tracks from the various “NieR” games.

With property rights being what they are, it’s difficult to know whether or not music from some of the properties Square Enix doesn’t own (but has published) will ever appear on the new channel, though. Sure, “Octopath Traveler” is up, but it was co-developed by Square Enix and ACQUIRE, so it still sort of falls under Square’s umbrella. The Platinum Games-developed “NieR: Automata” being represented offers up a bit more hope, at least. But what about “Dragon Quest,” “Dissidia,” “Star Ocean,” or “Front Mission?” Only time — and presumably the effort required to successfully navigate a number of legal things — will tell.
