Square Enix releases Final Fantasy IV music box with Theme of Love

The case features Cecil and Rosa, two characters from Final Fantasy IV, referencing a well-known scene from the game.

Final Fantasy IV launched in July 1991 in Japan and in November 1991 in North America on the Super NES, meaning 2026 marks its 35th anniversary.

What happened

Square Enix has added a Final Fantasy IV music box to its own store. The product is tied to “Theme of Love”, one of the best-known tracks from Nobuo Uematsu’s soundtrack. In the product listing, the item is presented as an official Final Fantasy IV product and as part of the celebration of the game’s 35th anniversary. The available information confirms that it is being sold through the Square Enix Store, but the provided material does not mention a price or the full product name.

The product image uses Cecil and Rosa as its visual theme. That means the music box connects to a recognizable moment from Final Fantasy IV and to the music the item is based on. According to the external product information, it is part of a series of music boxes that offer classic Final Fantasy tracks as collectibles, with artwork taken directly from the scenes associated with those songs. For this Final Fantasy IV version, that means the combination of “Theme of Love” and the image of Cecil and Rosa.

The release is being positioned as part of Final Fantasy IV’s 35th anniversary. The game originally launched in 1991 on the Super NES, first in Japan and later in North America. Square Enix has also officially confirmed that Final Fantasy IV reaches its 35th anniversary on July 19, 2026. That places the music box in an anniversary year in which the publisher is giving extra attention to the game and to material from its original release period.

Background

Final Fantasy IV is a 1991 RPG from Square. The game appeared on the Super NES and is described in the source material as a title that helped shape many of the series’ defining elements. That is the article’s characterization of the game, but the concrete facts mentioned in the source are its original release in Japan and North America and its connection to the 2026 anniversary year.

“Theme of Love” is a composition by Nobuo Uematsu and is one of the most famous pieces from the Final Fantasy IV soundtrack. The new music box turns that track into a collectible item with Cecil and Rosa on the case. The external product information also says the case designs are taken directly from scenes in which the relevant tracks are heard. As a result, the music box is not just a music-themed item, but also a reference to a specific story and music moment from Final Fantasy IV.

The available information indicates that Square Enix is selling the item through its own store, but the provided material does not mention a price, an exact full product name, or any additional official comment from the publisher. What is clear is that the release is tied to Final Fantasy IV’s 35th anniversary, and that Square Enix itself places that anniversary on July 19, 2026. The combination of anniversary, soundtrack, and character artwork makes the music box an immediately recognizable Final Fantasy IV collectible.

The product listing fits into a broader Square Enix tradition of releasing music from the Final Fantasy series as merchandise. In this case, it is an item specifically based on Final Fantasy IV and on a track that has long held classic status within the franchise. The source information explicitly states that the item is based on “Theme of Love” and that Cecil and Rosa appear on the case, clearly establishing the link to the game and to the scene from the soundtrack.
