Before Meteor: FINAL FANTASY XIV Original Soundtrack is the official soundtrack for Final Fantasy XIV/Legacy, 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.
