The album contains the musical tracks from the game, composed, arranged, produced and performed by Nobuo Uematsu. It was first released on June 14, 1991, by Square Co., Ltd./NTT Publishing Co., Ltd,, and subsequently re-released on November 26, 1994, and October 1, 2004, by NTT Publishing Co., Ltd..

The only song not included on the soundtrack is the Chocobo Forest theme.
