For the game's soundtrack, see OSTs.

Music Skills are Skills related to the essence of music-making and which often provide various buffs to a Party.
Music requires Instruments or Microphones to use.
- Having Rank 5 or higher of Song allows you to use any Skill that requires a Microphone without a Microphone.
  - This does not count for any Skill that explicitly requires an Instrument.
Music provides buffs to nearby Party members and can debuff enemies.
- Music buffs normally do not stack with each other. The last one played will override the existing buff.
- The Arcana Skill Polyphonic Melody allows a Harmonic Saint to provide a second Music buff for the Party.
All Skills that play a song aside from Playing Instrument and Song will have every note play perfectly.

Music Buff

There are 4 key factors in determining the outcome of your Music Buff Skills: the skill's rank, the quality of the performance, the Music Buff Effect, and Music Buff Duration.
Performance Quality is the multiplier used to boost your skills.
- A normal performance has a 1x modifier.
- An excellent/marvelous performance has a 1.1x modifier.
- An inspiring/haunting performance has a 1.3x modifier.
Music Buff Effect is a hidden stat that contributes a boost to these skills.
- Each Music Buff Effect point is a multiplicative amount to the skill's base buff effects.
- Dischord's initial damage, Fantastic Chorus and Enthralling Performance's effect are not affected by Music Buff Effect.
- Music Buff Effect points can be obtained through ranking Playing Instrument, Song, Grandmaster Bard, upgrading Instruments, Enchants, Titles, and Reforges.
- The Troubadour's Set contributes 3 Music Buff Effect to each relevant music skill, except in the case of Fantastic Chorus.
  - The Troubadour Set's effect provides +20 HP/MP/SP per second to the Life Anthem, for a total of 23 per second at Rank 1.
  - It provides +20% Movement Speed Reduction, Str/Int/Dex/Will Stat Reduction, and Skill Loading Speed Reduction to the Sorrow Sonata.
  - The Seraphic Cantabile Set does not stack with the Troubadour's Set but instead contributes +5 Music Buff Effect to Battlefield Overture and +30 to both versions of Fantastic Chorus.
- Music Buff is calculated as followed:
  - ( 1 + ( (Sum of Music Buff Effect Bonuses) * 0.01 ) ) * Music Skill's Base Effect * ( Performance Quality + ( Musical Knowledge Performance Effect Reforge * 0.01 ) )

Music Buff Duration is, as the name implies, a hidden stat which contributes to the duration of Music Buff Skills.
- Each Music Buff Duration point is worth +1 second duration on Music Buff Skills.
  - For example, a Grandmaster Bard's Music Buff Skills would last an additional 30 seconds with the unique effect active.
- Dischord's debuff, Fantastic Chorus's duration and Enthralling Performance's bewildering are not affected by Music Buff Duration.
- Music Buff Duration can be obtained through Music Talent Bonus, Enchants, and Reforges.
