Final Fantasy XIV's Fantastic PS4 Theme Is Now Available and Free in Europe

A theme reborn

by Robert Ramsey Mon 2nd Feb 2015

The PlayStation 4 doesn't have a great selection of themes. The official Destiny one isn't too bad, and there are a couple of other additions to the PlayStation Store that are nice enough, but there's nothing available that we'd consider essential downloads.

That's changed today, however, as the fantastic Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn static theme has ventured onto the European store. Previously only available in Japan, the theme features a beautifully drawn background image, along with a render of a few of the MMO's characters, and will liven up your console with a rather sublime accompanying musical score. There's no sign of it on the North American store front just yet, but we reckon that it'll show up sooner or later.

What do you make of the theme? Do you think that the PS4 is in desperate need of a wider selection? Customise yourself in the comments section below.

Finally a theme to replace the 20th anniversary one. Final Fantasy music on the home screen? Yes please. And I've always adored the watercolour style of the FFXIV:ARR artwork, very reminiscent of some of Amano's work for the franchise.

@SteveButler2210 The music just seals the deal, I think. Really nice melody:

I've really liked having The Order theme on.

@ShogunRok oh yeah that's a good piece. I had been expecting them to use this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR-yFUx5Y94 but that works just as well

To be honest, the soundtrack to FFXIV:ARR is the best they've had in a Final Fantasy in years, so they had plenty of good material to draw on!
