In darkness the Crystal dreams as from the flames of destruction a new beginning rises. Come brave heroes heed the Crystal's call. Gather once more and witness a realm reborn.
Text on the album cover
Before Meteor: FINAL FANTASY XIV Original Soundtrack is the official soundtrack for Final Fantasy XIV (version 1.0), and includes all original songs composed by Nobuo Uematsu for the initial release, as well as every song added on subsequent patches and a remastered version of the "A New Beginning" trailer that was revealed once the Final Fantasy XIV servers were brought down. New songs composed for A Realm Reborn are not included in this soundtrack.
The Blu-ray format was chosen due to the high number of tracks, allowing it to be a single disc release instead of multiple discs. The package includes a code that can be applied to the user's Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn account to obtain a Wind-up Dalamud minion.
