Today we highlight a composer and games that don’t often appear on the show. Naoshi Mizuta’s music credits span 30 years, and much of that time has been with Square Enix leading the charge on Final Fantasy XI‘s soundtrack. That Final Fantasy XI, which launched in 2002 on PC and the PlayStation 2 (TWO!), is still running today is a feat in itself. But so are Mizuta’s continued efforts to create music for it and many other games over that time. Today we feature several different types of FFXI tracks among other great works by this talented composer and arranger.
