In an exclusive multipart interview with Game Informer, Masayoshi Soken discusses the music of Final Fantasy XVI.
In the first part titled "Creating the Prelude," Soken reveals that there is “actually a lot of different music that we had taken from older Final Fantasies”
The official Prelude track of FFXVI has not been released yet, but it will represent the darker and more mature tone that FFXVI has displayed up to this point.
