Final Fantasy XVI<\/strong> has been revealed to include a so-called \u201cMini Soken system\u201d that edits the OST of the game and adjusts volume in real time to match the pace of each player\u2019s gameplay. Fans have been expressing awe at the new technology as well as appreciation for its cute name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent interview<\/a> for Natalie.mu, Masayoshi Soken, the composer for Final Fantasy XVI, went into details regarding the newly released title\u2019s sound and OST.

According to the interview, over 300 tracks were written for the grand OST of FFXVI, with even cutscene-specific tracks being prepared. The devotion to the sound of the game is already evident through this fact, but there is a certain addition this time around \u2013 the Mini Soken system. These words were first mentioned by Soken in a livestream right before FFXVI was released. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked to elaborate on the meaning of these words, Soken explained that it was a name he had thought of on his own in order to describe how sound works in FFXVI, as going into a legitimate explanation of the system would likely turn into a long, academic discussion. He envisions the system as a mini version of himself being installed onto peoples\u2019 PS5s along with the game, working hard in the background to make real time adjustments to the tracks and volume in order to match each user\u2019s unique style and speed of playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the information was revealed, players had a \u201cthat\u2019s what that was\u201d moment as they recalled their experience playing FFXVI, marveling at the way the music complimented their playing.\u00a0Many also couldn’t help but notice how cute Soken’s naming sense was, loving the idea of a mini Soken residing in their PS5s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
