## Key points

- The anniversary album chooses one track from each main Final Fantasy game.
- The author agrees with some picks but suggests alternatives for several games.
- Track choices reflect both personal favourites and what fits an album.

## Summary

Square Enix’s 40th anniversary album selects one track from each main Final Fantasy game, a choice likely to prompt debate among fans with different favourites. The article’s author weighs in on several selections, considering how well each represents its game and suits a celebratory album.

For Final Fantasy IV, the author would have chosen “Main Theme”; for III, they prefer “Forbidden Land” personally but see “Eternal Wind” as the stronger album choice. They approve of VIII’s “Force Your Way” despite favouring “Blue Fields”, and suggest IX’s “Rose of May” instead of “Not Alone”, which they feel could be heard out of context. For XIV, they favour “eScape” while recognising “Torn from the Heavens” as a reasonable pick; they call XVI’s “Away” a good choice, though their preference is “To Sail Forbidden Seas”.
