Collecting every music disc in Final Fantasy 7 Remake is one of the most engaging side activities for players exploring Midgar. There are 31 total tracks scattered across various chapters, offering nostalgic arrangements of classic themes. Securing the complete soundtrack unlocks the coveted Disc Jockey trophy and adds great audio options to jukeboxes throughout the city.
Early Chapter Music Discs in Sector 7
Your journey to collect music begins in the early chapters within the Sector 7 Slums. In Chapter 3, players can purchase Tifa's Theme directly from the jukebox inside Seventh Heaven. Additional tracks like The Prelude and Barret's Theme are available at local shops near the station.
As you progress through Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, pay close attention to blue vending machines. These automated shops sell key tracks like Stamp and Electric de Chocobo for a modest fee. Missing these early items is not a problem since Chapter Select opens after finishing the main story.
Exploring Sector 5 and Wall Market Hits
Reaching the Sector 5 Slums in Chapter 8 rewards players with classic tracks like Costa del Sol and Tangos of Tears. Interacting with jukeboxes in community centers or buying from item vendors ensures your collection grows rapidly. Keep an ear out for background music whenever you enter new settlements.
Wall Market in Chapter 9 hosts a major portion of the collectible discs. You can acquire iconic tracks such as Honeybee Inn, Farm Boy, and Under the Rotting Pizza by talking to local residents or visiting entertainment venues. Getting a high score in the dance tutorial grants an extra special track reward.
Late Game Discs and The Power of Music Quest
Chapter 14 introduces the side quest called The Power of Music in Wall Market. Cloud must help cheer up local citizens by gathering specific tracks hidden around the district. Speaking to NPCs near the Colosseum and local inns delivers the required songs.
The remaining music items are scattered across late-game story locations, including the Shinra Building. In Chapter 16, players can find Scarlet's Theme inside the employee recreational lounge near the combat simulator. Finding these final items completes your inventory and completes your achievement goals.
Tips for Finding Missing Music Discs
Whenever you are close to an uncollected disc, a music icon will appear on the top left of your screen with question marks. Listening closely to the surrounding ambient music helps you pinpoint the exact vendor or jukebox location. Most music discs cost only 50 Gil, making them very affordable for any player.
If you happen to miss a track on your initial playthrough, there is no need to worry. Utilizing the post-game Chapter Select feature allows you to return to any chapter and gather missing collectibles effortlessly. Tracking your inventory ensures you never miss a beat on your adventure.
