Following up 2022’s acclaimed “Chocobo & Chill”, Rifti returns with sixteen additional remixes from the Final Fantasy series, each lovingly interpreted with lo-fi nostalgia. “Chocobo & Chill II‘s” tracklist includes themes from the series’ earliest installments all the way through Final Fantasy XV.
“Chocobo & Chill II” highlights music heard across the series (such as the main theme and victory fanfare), the Super Nintendo’s Final Fantasy IV and VI, Final Fantasy VII-IX for Playstation, Final Fantasy X and XI for Playstation 2, the massively popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, and Final Fantasy XV.
