As for the theme that will be revealed at Wrestle Dynasty, it will not be Miller’s first time working with Soken. In Final Fantasy 14‘s Shadowbringers and Endwalker expansions, Miller provided the vocals to the songs “Shadowbringers,” “To The Edge,” and “Close in the Distance”, with the latter being his most recent contribution to Final Fantasy 14. On social media, Final Fantasy fans expressed their excitement at the news, and looked forward to hearing what Soken and Omega have worked on.
