Britse act Florence and the Machine heeft voor de trailer van Final Fantasy XV de Ben E. King klassieker “Stand By Me” gecovert. De zangeres en band geven een geheel eigen draai aan de song. Dit betekent dat er bij het opnemen er o.a. een harp en orkest aan te pas zijn gekomen.

Florence covers 'Stand By Me' for Final Fantasy XV
Stand By Me is one of the greatest songs probably of all time so I was really glad that the game had chosen this song to do. We really wanted to make it our own, bringing it into the world of Florence + The Machine and the world of Final Fantasy XV.I’ve always seen Final Fantasy as a beautiful and creative game so I don’t think I could have worked with another video game. In some ways the landscape of Final Fantasy and my own internal landscape seemed to fit quite well, it’s mythical and beautiful and epic.I was listening to Classic FM and there was a whole 2 hour programme about classical music in videogames. It was so inspiring and a whole scope of music that I didn't know about. It was really fascinating, the music was incredibly beautiful and emotional and I took it as a sort of sign, to see what I can do in this medium.
