Slated for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, Final Fantasy VIII Remastered doesn\u2019t have a concrete release date outside of a 2019 window. Fans wondered if the upcoming retelling of the adventures of Squall, Zell, Selphie, and friends would sport music from the Steam re-release. Reason being, it\u2019s thought to be subpar versus the original PS1 release due to having different MIDI compositions in its soundtrack. Thankfully, developer Dotemu confirmed this won\u2019t be the case. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered will use the music originally found on the PS1 version of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#39;ll be original PSX music \ud83d\ude09<\/p>&mdash; Dotemu (@Dotemu) <a href=https://themakoreactor.com/"https:////twitter.com//Dotemu//status//1138723243999801344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\%22>June 12, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=https://themakoreactor.com/"https:////platform.twitter.com//widgets.js/" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaster includes improved visuals, updated character models, and more.
