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.

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.

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.
