If you're in Japan right know and decide to go to Motomachi Park via the subway from Minatomirai Station, and if catch your ride at the very last second, you might be rewarded with the victory fanfare from the Final Fantasy series. That is just one of several stations playing different Final Fantasy tunes right now as a part of the series 30th anniversary.

One subway rider posted how it looks like and sounds on Twitter, and there other melodies to be heard as well. If you travel towards Yokohama, for example, you will instead hear Final Fantasy Brave Exvius playing. This will go on until July 7 and surely make subway passengers a lot happier.

Would you like to have Final Fantasy music playing on public transport where you live as well? If not, which video game themes do you think would make for good background music on the tube?

Thanks Kotaku
