Square Enix Adds 1000s Of Classic Game Soundtracks To YouTube Music
At long last, publisher Square Enix has added thousands of its classic music tracks to an official Square Enix Music Channel on YouTube. For the longest time, game soundtracks like Final Fantasy OSTs have been relegated to fan-made YouTube channels, often resulting in copyright strikes and other drastic measures from the publisher.
Square Enix began alleviating the problem a few years ago in 2019 by adding a slew of original soundtracks to its official Square Enix Music page on Spotify. The company raised the bar even higher in March 2021 upon unlocking access to Final Fantasy lof-fi in the form of a Spotify «Chill Out» album.

Fortunately, the publisher recognized as much, too, evidenced by a recent series of delightful events.
