The first compilation album produced by an outside group was The Best of Final Fantasy 1994–1999: A Musical Tribute, released in 2000 by Sherman F. Heinig; the newest is Voices of the Lifestream, a download-only album from OverClocked ReMix released in 2007.

The tracks were sung in many languages, including English, French, Japanese, and Portuguese.

Final Fantasy: Pray was well received by reviewers such as Patrick Gann of RPGFan, who found the album to be "one of the most original" albums produced for the Final Fantasy series and described it as "simply incredible". He did, however, take issue with some of the lyrics, finding that when translated into English they made little sense.[4] Kevin Murphy of Soundtrack Central agreed, finding the arrangements to be "great".[5] Dan of Square Enix Music Online also enjoyed the album, although he found the lyrics to be "nothing too special".[6]

Music from FFV and FFVI Video Games
Music from FFV and FFVI Video Games is a promotional CD which was included with the release of the Final Fantasy Anthology collection in North America. The album, which was never released as a stand-alone product, contains nine songs from Final Fantasy V followed by thirteen songs from Final Fantasy VI. This release marked the first time that Final Fantasy V had been released outside of Japan. The songs on the album are identical to the versions from the games' respective original soundtracks. The Final Fantasy Anthology was released by Square on October 5, 1999, and the album did not have a catalog number. It spans 22 tracks and covers a duration of 57:27.[12]
The album was poorly received by critics such as Daniel K of Soundtrack Central, who derided the track selection and declared that the album was only acceptable because it came free with the game.[13] Chris of Square Enix Music Online also disliked the track selection for the album, terming it an "unworthy 'best of' selection" and claiming that the album "offers nothing" to both casual listeners and Final Fantasy music fans.[14] Patrick Gann of RPGFan, however, said that while many of the best songs from the games were not included, the album was still "an enjoyable listening experience".[12]

Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy
Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy is a recording of orchestral music from the Final Fantasy video game series. The album contains a selection of musical tracks from the games, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, arranged for orchestra by Shirō Hamaguchi, Sachiko Miyano, Naoshi Mizuta, Hiroyuki Nakayama, and Arnie Roth, and performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. It was recorded in August 2007 at the Stockholm Concert Hall, prior to the "Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy" concert tour, which opened in Stockholm on December 4, 2007. The album was released on December 4, 2007 by AWR Records with the catalog number AWR-10101. The album spans 13 tracks and covers a duration of 74:22.[35]
The album received mixed reviews from critics, with Patrick Gann of RPGFan saying that "The recording quality is decent, the performance is standard, and it's all the classic Final Fantasy you've come to love", but expressing disappointment that the album contained only one new arrangement, with the other songs composed of arrangements originally made for other concerts.[35] Andre of Square Enix Music Online, however, despite also wishing for more original arrangements, felt that the quality was superb and that the album as a whole was "one of life and energy."[36] Chris of Square Enix Music Online also praised the album, finding similar features and flaws.[37]

Voices of the Lifestream is an unofficial tribute album released by OverClocked ReMix as a tribute to Nobuo Uematsu's score for Final Fantasy VII. The album was released on September 14, 2007 to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII.[40] Since its release, the collection has received praise from numerous video game sites and professional composers.[40] As an unofficial album, the collection is only available as a free download.
Final Fantasy Remix
Final Fantasy Remix is a remix album containing dance club remixes of music from games throughout the series by Ante, a DJ group composed by Ian Hartley and Matt Baggiani. It was released on August 6, 2008, by Square Enix. The release bears the catalog number SQEX-10119.[41]
The album was poorly received by critics; Patrick Gann of RPGFan said that while it was better than the previous time Final Fantasy music had been remixed in this style, in Final Fantasy Mix, it was still "a disappointment". He felt that the album was full of "amateur-ish mistakes that no remixer should allow", lamented the track selection, and said that several of the remixes had mistakes related to basic musical theory. Though still finding fault with them, he singled out "Eternal Wind" and "Zanarkand" as the best tracks of a poor album.[41]

Guitar Solo Final Fantasy
Guitar Solo Final Fantasy Official Best Collection is a book of sheet music for 25 Final Fantasy pieces arranged for solo guitar that also has a CD soundtrack of the pieces performed by arranger Yuji Sekiguchi.[42] The pieces are done rather faithfully, without much artistic embellishment from their in-game versions.[43] A reviewer liked the album, but wished that some of the pieces had at least been duets to allow more of the music than the main melodic line.[43]
Those Who Distorted
Those Who Distorted is a mini-album of three Final Fantasy arrangements as well as three arrangements of classic rock songs performed by Cellythm, a cello quartet. It was published by Nobuo Uematsu's Dog Ear Records on March 25, 2009.[44] The group has previously performed Final Fantasy arrangements at a concert by The Black Mages on August 9, 2008.[45] The tracklist for the album is "Those Who Fight Further" from Final Fantasy VII, "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin, "Battle Theme" from Final Fantasy VI, "Clash on the Big Bridge" from Final Fantasy V, "Eleanore Rigby" by The Beatles, and "Land of Hope and Glory" by Edward W.[44] The album has a catalog number of DERP-10004 and its six tracks cover a duration of 19:46.[46]
Distant Worlds II: More Music from Final Fantasy
Distant Worlds II: More Music from Final Fantasy is a recording of orchestral music from the Final Fantasy video game series. It features more tracks composed for the Distant Worlds concert series that were either not included or not written yet when the Distant Worlds album was released. The selection of tracks was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, arranged for orchestra by Arnie Roth, and performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. The album has a catalog number of AWR-10102 and a total length of 1:02:38 across thirteen tracks.[47] Susan Calloway sang as the vocal soloist for "Suteki Da Ne" and "A Place to Call Home - Melodies of Life".
