The world's first integrated personalized spatial audio experience in an MMORPG

A VISION REALIZED

Embody and Square Enix partnered to introduce the world’s first fully integrated Personalized Spatial Audio experience inside the FINAL FANTASY XIV engine. For the first time, players can now experience the game’s immersive sound design in an ideal 3D sound space that was custom tuned based on the sound team’s exact specifications.

The CHALLENGE

The FINAL FANTASY XIV sound team has long held the ambition of bringing more players into a 3D sound space. Conventional surround sound suffered from restrictive hardware requirements which limited player access, while stereo fold down and generic binaural solutions failed to deliver sufficient spatial resolution.

The Solution

By both integrating our personalized spatial audio technology and custom tuning the spatial sound field to the sound team's specifications, we enabled players to experience the game in Higher Order Ambisonics audio on any headphone, rendered with industry-leading directional accuracy and immersive impact.
