Final Fantasy XIII, Four Warriors of Light -Final Fantasy Gaiden-, and FFCC: The Crystal Bearers were not only the sights from the Square Enix booth, but also the sounds at TGS 2009. Square Enix released the Square Enix Music Sampler Vol. 4 at the show, featuring music from all three games as well as tracks from a Kingdom Hearts piano arrangement CD and The World Ends With You. It was available to fans who stopped by the SQEX music booth and made a purchase, and is the 4th entry into this special sneak-peek series of CDs that SQEX releases at TGS each year.
