This is a list of music tracks pertaining to the Final Fantasy universe in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. All tracks listed here derive from the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII series. They play on Midgar, Northern Cave, and, as of the 8.1.0 update, Battlefield, Small Battlefield, Big Battlefield, and Final Destination.

Prior to the addition of Sephiroth as part of Fighters Pass Vol. 2, Final Fantasy had among the fewest songs of all third-party universes, with only two. In "Mr. Sakurai Presents Sephiroth", Masahiro Sakurai explained that the limited number of songs was due to various licensing difficulties, such as existing exclusivity deals that would not allow for music to be included, and the music copyright being spread across multiple owners, which then had to be properly cleared for each region Ultimate is available in. Despite these challenges, Sephiroth's inclusion adds nine new songs, for a total of eleven.

This track is an arrangement of the final boss battle theme in Final Fantasy VII. It is taken directly from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, where it plays when Cloud fights Sephiroth in the ruins of Midgar. Compared to the original, this arrangement has a more rock-oriented tone to it, being performed as an orchestral piece accompanied by The Black Mages. The lyrics are also significantly different from the original. Lasting for nearly six minutes before looping, it is currently the longest song in the entire Smash series.

Trivia

  • Final Fantasy is the only universe in Ultimate to feature music from a source outside of a video game, as three songs are taken from the movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
  • So far, Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem are the only base game universes to receive additional songs via downloadable content.
    • Unlike Fire Emblem, the two songs from the base game are not listed before their DLC counterparts, matching the relative sequential order that these songs would be heard in Final Fantasy VII.
  • Interestingly, the names used for the Final Fantasy VII battle themes ("Let the Battles Begin!" and "Fight On!") are inconsistent with the ones used for their Advent Children remixes ("Those Who Fight" and "Those Who Fight Further"). As mentioned, the latter are more accurate translations of the songs' Japanese names.
  • "Electric de Chocobo" from Final Fantasy VII plays in the Chocobo reveal, but is not available in the actual game.
