Final Fantasy Song Book "Mahoroba" is an album of a selection of tracks from Final Fantasy III to Final Fantasy IX, arranged for vocals with a few instrumental tracks. Lyrics are by Kazushige Nojima and Hiroyuki Itō, with vocal performance by Manami Kiyota. Also on the album is a track from the album "Ten Plants".

Hidden on the CD is one bonus track, the 11th track, which is an alternate version of "The Place I'll Return to Someday", that can be accessed by letting the last track play after the song finishes. It will play after about a minute of silence.

This album is, unofficially, considered the third album in the "Vocal Collections" series after Final Fantasy: Pray and Final Fantasy: Love Will Grow.
