My most-played album of 2026? Sorry, Mitski—it's Final Fantasy 10: House Grooves, a real thing that exists
When music licensing goes too far.
Final Fantasy 10, released in 2001, is generating a new revenue stream for Square Enix next month when a remix album titled "Final Fantasy 10: House Grooves" hits the shelves. The album, the second in a series following a similar release for Final Fantasy 9, marks the 25th anniversary of the game. Described as a "kind of" dance music, the album blends the game's melancholic score with house music styles.
Notable tracks include "To Zanarkand" and "Phantoms," remaining true to their original form, while others like "Wandering" and "Fight with Seymour" showcase the fusion of styles. Despite not being party-friendly, the album satisfies fans of the game, offering a unique experience worth revisiting for the 20th time.
