Video game company Square Enix recently made an announcement about the theme song for their upcoming Playstation Portable (PSP) game, “Final Fantasy Rei Shiki (Type-0)”. Originally introduced as “Final Fantasy Agito XIII“, the game will be a new installment in the “Fabula Nova Crystallis” mythology.
Regarding the theme song, rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN will be singing ”Zero“.
Director Tabata commented, “‘Final Fantasy Rei Shiki’ won’t be complete without the theme song, ‘Zero’. The song is an essential component that cannot be absent in this game. During the many production meetings with BUMP OF CHICKEN, we made serious arrangements to figure out what was needed to complete this game. At that time, I felt the spirit that they put into the song-making, and it also motivated the development team to work harder. A few days later, I received a demo titled, ‘Zero’. The melody, vocals, lyrics, and the performance that was arranged especially for the game literally pierced my heart. It showed the seriousness of BUMP OF CHICKEN. We used the song in the best way possible for the game. We hope to deliver the maximum force of both parties through this collaboration.”
“Final Fantasy Rei Shiki” will be released on October 13th for 7,700 yen (approximately $97 USD)
