Where to find every music disc in Final Fantasy VII Remake

Final Fantasy VII Remake reintroduces players to the world of Midgar in an extraordinary way. The graphics have been updated and the game plays beautifully. The game is massive and the world is full of places to explore and treasure to find. One of the primary treasures that you can find is music discs.

Collecting all the music discs in Final Fantasy VII Remake allows players to unlock the Disc Jockey trophy, which brings you one step closer to getting the coveted Platinum trophy for the game. However, finding all 31 music discs is not an easy feat. There are a lot of places to check and a lot of hidden spots that you may have trouble locating.

Disc locations

Finding where every disc is located can be troublesome. However, collecting the discs as you move through the game is the best way to collect them all. It will keep you from having to double back or accidentally missing the disc completely. The discs can be found starting in chapter 3, and at least one disc can be found per chapter. It is pretty easy to tell when you are close to the disc, as the music, which isn’t the music associated with the level, gets louder. Also, remember to bring about 50 gil along, as discs at vending machines and shops cost around 50 gil apiece.

Also keep in mind that the disc numbers are not found in chronological order. So even though you will find Tifa’s Theme first, the disc number for this song is 03. So don’t panic if the numbers don’t make sense, you may not have missed a disc.

Chapter 3

The first disc you will find is Music Disc 03: Tifa’s Theme. Once in Seventh Heaven Bar, you have the opportunity to speak with Marlene. After speaking with the young, shy girl, head to the jukebox in the corner of the bar. Interacting with the jukebox will give you the first disc.

You’ll find the next disc, Music Disc 27: Hip Hop de Chocobo, after sleeping in your room. Once the day begins, but before heading to the Seventh Heaven bar, take a quick path to the right of the bar. Here, you’ll reach a club with a radio playing. Talk to the guy by the radio and he will just hand over the song.

Music Disc 01: The Prelude is the next disc that you will run into, as it is easily purchased from the item shop that you visit with Tifa. There will be a radio playing the song loudly. Simply speak to the shop keeper and purchase the song.

The final disc to pick up in chapter 3 is Music Disc 04: Barret’s Theme. After all the side quests are unlocked, head back to the train station where you first arrived in Midgar. The shop owner has the disc and is selling it for 50 Gil. You will also be able to get this disc at the beginning of chapter 4. So if you don’t feel like backtracking, then wait for the next chapter to begin to find the disc.

Chapter 5

The next disc, Music Disc 28: Stamp, can be found after fighting two Sentry Launchers in the Corkscrew Tunnel. You will find a side room nearby that has a vending machine. The fifth disc can be purchased here.

Chapter 6

Finding the sixth disc, Music Disc 18: Electric de Chocobo, can be a little tricky. After turning off all the 3 Sun Lamps, you’re supposed to head back to a large cargo elevator and head up. Instead, head west of the cargo elevator and head back towards where you entered to find a small elevator. Use the small elevator, which will move you toward where the fans are located. The first room you will enter has a vending machine that sells Electric de Chocobo.

Chapter 7

Music Disc 02: Bombing Mission is found after the game forces Cloud, Tifa, and Barret to push 3 switches simultaneously to open a door. Once the door is open, a vending machine can be found behind the door and you can purchase the disc.

Chapter 8

Once you have reached the train station, you can simply purchase Music Disc 21: Cait Sith’s Theme from the ‘Potions & Music’ vending machine.

Music Disc 10: Honeybee Inn is bought from the Item Shop in Wall Market.

While still in Wall Market, head up the road north of Chadley and head up the first set of stairs. You should be able to hear the music playing from above. Once at the top of the stairs, you will find a cowgirl. Talk to her to get Music Disc 17: Farm Boy.

After getting this disc, head towards the hotel then head towards the street south of the hotel. You will find a Jukebox that has Music Disc 08: Under the Rotting Pizza.

In the bar across from the gym (or on the street south of where Chadley is hanging out) you will find a karaoke singer. Simply talk to the singer and he will hand over Music Disc 29: The Midgar Blues.

Music Disc 26: Let the Battles Begin! (Remake) is the easiest music disc to miss. When at the Honeybee Inn, three Bee Ladies will offer you to play a dance tutorial. You have to accept and get a “Great” rating on all 10 button presses. If you do not get all 10 “Great” button timings, the dance tutorial can be repeated as many times as needed. Once you get all 10 Greats, watch the right side of the screen during the following cutscene. You’ll see an item pop up. Make sure to save manually before entering the Honeybee Inn in case you miss the item. This will ensure you can return very quickly to pick the disc up.

Once Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa reunite, you can purchase Music Disc 11: Don of the Slums from the vending machine in the room everyone wakes up in.

There are so many classic games from the past that have become difficult for new players to experience. The farther away in time we get from these games' releases, the more difficult it can get to not only get the game itself but also the extra hardware needed to play them. That alone is a major barrier that turns people away from playing games many consider to be some of the greatest of all time. And that's not even taking into account dated graphics, controls, and mechanics.

Remakes offer a new generation a chance to experience some of the most influential games of the past, as well as give fans of the originals a brand new way to play them all over again. The best remakes take what made a game so great before and modernize it for the current audience without losing that magical spark. It isn't an easy process, but here are the games that managed to pull it off.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
Zack carrying Cloud toward Midgar.

We all knew Final Fantasy 7 Remake was just the beginning, but we had no idea how long we would have to wait for the next part or even how many parts this incredibly ambitious project would end up spanning. Since fans have been begging Square Enix to remake what is quite possibly the most popular and most important JRPG of all time for years, there was obviously a lot of pressure on the studio to get it right. While there was plenty of skepticism regarding the first part changing so much about the core formula, once we had it in our hands, it became almost universally praised.

After Remake, there was next to no news on when Cloud and his ragtag team's adventure would continue. That is, not until the 25th anniversary of the original PlayStation 1 game when Square Enix dropped a ton of info on us all at once. The biggest news was obviously the official reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second part in what we now know to be a trilogy of titles. Since then, we've collected all the info drops as they've occurred. Here's everything we know about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
