Over more than a decade working with FF14, his name has become almost as synonymous with the series as the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, and that success led him to take on the role as lead composer for Final Fantasy 16. When I asked him whether he'd repeat the challenge of handling two games at the same time in the future, however, he was adamant that he'd "never want to do anything like that again."

Masayoshi Soken has earned a reputation for his incredible composition work, and he and his team are in full form in the latest Final Fantasy 14 update. Ahead of the recent Distant Worlds concerts in London, I had the privilege to sit down with Soken and discuss how he approaches adopting legacy soundtracks and which Final Fantasy game he feels is most underrepresented in FF14.

Launch FINAL FANTASY XIV Now FF14 patch notes confirm rumored Black Mage changes, and they're divisiveMar 24, 2025 - PCGamesNMy first ever FF14 character was a Black Mage. Enticed by the allure of elemental magic having played everything from Ice Mage to Shadow Priest in World of Warcraft, it felt like the perfect fit. As I pulled up to Ul'dah and Sultana Dreaming began to play, I knew that Eorzea was something special. But as of late I've found myself drifting away from spellcasters, and Black Mage specifically, favoring Monk and Ninja over ranged DPS. But, as spotted by eagle-eyed fans during the last Live Letter and now confirmed in the latest round of FF14 patch notes, Black Mage has been reworked considerably, splitting the playerbase down the middle.
