Final Fantasy VIII is finally coming back to us with the release of Final Fantasy VIII Remastered later in the year. The ‘lost’ PlayStation Final Fantasy has been absent for far too long, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the game’s return to modern machines. Thankfully, it’ll also sound very familiar, too.

The recent re-releases of Final Fantasy VII and IX were actually based on their PC versions that came out after the original PlayStation releases. This made some worry that the same may be true of VIII. If you’re not aware, the previous PC version, for whatever reason, different MIDI compositions in its soundtrack that was generally considered subpar. Thankfully, the developer behind the remaster, DotEmu, confirmed that the game will use the original soundtrack. You can see the tweet below.

Final Fantasy VIII Remastered will release later this year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.

It'll be original PSX music ;)
