[edit] Additional information

Final Fantasy X-2 marks the first soundtrack where former Square Enix composer Nobuo Uematsu did not contribute a single piece despite having composed for Final Fantasy X, of which X-2 is a sequel.

The game includes two songs with vocalized elements, one of which is the J-Rock "real Emotion" which was written by Ken Kato and composed by Kazuhiro Hara and the other being the J-Pop ballad "1000 Words" which was written by Kazushige Nojima and Daisuke Watanabe and composed and arranged by Matsueda and Eguchi, the scenario writers for this game. Both the songs have been sung by Jade Villalon, also known as Jade from Sweetbox. In the Japanese version of the game however, both the songs were sung by Koda Kumi, who has also released them as a single entitled real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba.

Another soundtrack, Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission Original Soundtrack was released later on and included the 8 additional pieces that were present in the the expanded version of Final Fantasy X-2 which also included another vocal piece entitled "To You" which was sung by Mayuko Aoki who is also the Japanese voice of Yuna. Because the expanded version game was never localized in English, an English version of the song was never made.

Also, Square Enix along with Avex Trax Entertainment had released a promotional album which was called Eternity ~Memory of Lightwaves~ - Music from Final Fantasy X-2. The album was only included with three pieces which were : Eternity ~Memory of Lightwaves~, Besaid, and Yuna's Ballad. It was released alongside the game on March 13, 2003.

As of Monday, May 9, 2005, the Final Fantasy X-2 Original Soundtrack (along with others) were released on the iTunes Music Store.

Unlike the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Original Soundtrack which borrowed many pieces from the Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack, none of the pieces from the Final Fantasy X Original Soundtrack were re-used in X-2.
