Final Fantasy XVI<\/strong> is going to be a gorgeous, ambitious turn for the franchise toward more of an action-oriented experience than ever before. The series has always been a strong representative of high-quality graphics and cinematic presentation, but the music is also a highlight for the fans. Final Fantasy XVI is the latest to feature a theme song with a vocal performance, this time performed by a musician whom you might recognize for his recent Chainsaw Man<\/em> OP \u201cKICK BACK\u201d among other hits!<\/p>\n

KICK BACK Chainsaw Man OP Writer Kenshi Yonezu Will Perform Final Fantasy XVI Theme Song<\/h2>\n

The Final Fantasy XVI theme song \u201cTsuki Wo Miteita \u2013 Moongazing\u201d will be performed by Kenshi Yonezu who you might recognize for his iconic Chainsaw Man<\/em> op, \u201cKICK BACK.\u201d His work extends beyond that, however, with a catalog of content reaching back for over a decade. <\/p>\n

Other work you may have heard from Kenshi Yonezu includes his album Bootleg<\/em> which won Album of the Year at the 60th Japan Record Awards, which has the song \u201cPeace Sign\u201d featured as the second season OP for My Hero Academia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What Other Final Fantasy Games Have Notable Opening Themes?<\/h3>\n

Final Fantasy XVI isn\u2019t the only theme song to have vocal performances with lyrics, and despite this one having Chainsaw Man<\/em> fan appeal, there are plenty of iconic themes in previous entries. Final Fantasy VIII was the first to have a main theme with recorded vocals (not counting the digitized choir for One-Winged Angel) with the song \u201cEyes on Me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Other games such as Final Fantasy XV featured memorable opening sequences, with \u201cStand by Me\u201d performed by Florence and the Machine. \u201cThe Promise\u201d and \u201cEternal Love\u201d as featured in Final Fantasy XIII are also quite memorable. Other tracks worth noting include:<\/p>\n

  • 1000 Words (FFX-2)<\/li>\n
  • Ruined Hometown (FFXIII-2)<\/li>\n
  • Answers (FFXIV A Realm Reborn)<\/li>\n
  • Dragonsong (FFXIV Heavensward)<\/li>\n
  • Tomorrow and Tomorrow (FFXIV Shadowbringers)<\/li>\n
  • Civilizations (FFXIV Shadowbringers)<\/li>\n
  • Somnus (FFXV)<\/li>\n
  • Too Much is Never Enough (FFXV)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    As you can tell, there\u2019s a lot of love for Final Fantasy XIV, and, given the fact that XIV\u2019s director Naoki Yoshida and his team are working on this project, it makes a lot of sense. For fans who enjoy the music of the franchise, and overall just great music, this is a big get.<\/p>\n
