FFVIIR Original Soundtrack

[Tetsujin]

The way they handled the artist credit on Apple and Google bugs me, Uematsu is credited for most of it
I mean yes, obviously he is the original composer but they probably should've used the arranger credits for the Remake versions what with Uematsu's only active contribution being Hollow.
Thankfully, the liner notes of the album contain full credits.

Now the question is will I be buying a physical version, because if so I won't also buy it digitally. I already did that for the game, lol

 

[Sasseli]

I want a physical copy, even though I don't even have a CD-player anymore. And converting it to mp3 is such a hassle... And it's too expensive right now, anyway.
Perhaps I'll buy digital for now, that's not too expensive... I want to listen to the whole soundtrack so badly! I know it's on and off YouTube, but that's not reliable.

 

[Tetsujin]

My order at the SE store still says it's being prepared but it's been established they are notoriously bad at updating the order status so I have no clue whether it's already on the way or not

 

[AllGoodInMyHood]

Full version of "Valkyrie" hands down... 8 minutes of goosebumps!

@Tetsujin while my copy will be delivered tomorrow (CDJapan) I'm listning to stream and so should you!

My special edit version soundtrack arrived today.

This is not hyperbole - this is one of the most stunning collectors items I've ever owned. I think I was just expecting it to be the soundtrack, but the presentation actually took my breath away.

Spoiler: It comes in a buster box

There are 3 things in the box - a jukebox disc, the 7 disc soundtrack (so pretty), and a book containing the tracklist, the lyrics to all the songs (in both English and Japanese) and artwork (we've seen it all before, but it's still gorgeous.

Spoiler: The stuff in the box

Spoiler: A Closer look at the soundtrack "book"

Spoiler: This logo is imprinted on the inside of the box. It's very similar to that compilation tote-bag logo

Spoiler: Some stuff from the book

Just, wow. Time to rip all the music then put the discs back in this box forever and never open it again

 

[Lex]

The box inside the box is really nice aswell, this little materia orb shows through the slot in the buster sword from the outside box. Its shiny

 

[Tetsujin]

mine isn't here yet

 

[Sasseli]

Now I want it even more.

 

[Tetsujin]

Well at least my order got updated to "shipped"

 

[ForceStealer]

Still on a wait list
Which is fine as long as becomes available some time.

 

[cold_spirit]

My order status is still "Acknowledged".

I'm shipping the soundtrack to my parent's place in the states due to my hectic living situation. But with COVID-19, I may not be able to return and open it until... Christmas? Next year?

Can someone post a picture of the open "book" that contains the discs? So that I may see it

Edit: it shipped!

 

[AllGoodInMyHood]

mine isn't here yet

Same mine...

*fist bumps*

 

[Claymore]

I rarely get soundtracks, but I'm going to have to get the digital version of this. The Remake has some cracking songs in there.

 

[Wol]

*looks at the price*
I think im going to get the free edition... it looks really damn good though.

 

[Arianna]

My copy of the special edition's been shipped!!! ('Bout time!!!)

Is the outer box magnetized like the ff15 ultimate edition?

 

[Arianna]

I'm thinking of keeping my physical copy sealed and then getting the digital copy on iTunes... Sell it later for hopefully a higher price (not gouging, hopefully it, and the game, will go up in value.)

 

[Sasseli]

I have put myself on the waiting list, now. Well, I'll see how long it'll take.

God, I'm listening to Disc 8 on Youtube right now for the first time. It's beautiful... The Stamp song is so damn catchy, no wonder Stamp is so popular in Midgar! And the Jukebox variation of Costa del Sol, aaaah, and the Gold Saucer, it's wonderful!
Oh God, and the Global version of Midgar blues, I'm cryyyying, I'm laughing, why is this so good??? It's so kitschy, so sugary-sweet, so... I don't even have words.

I'm crying! I'm dying! Why is this so amazing???

I waaaaant the box!!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Looks like it won't arrive today either.

I learned from my mom's friend to always buy an extra one. He made loads of money on star wars collectibles

I hate this type of practice... I wanted to buy Xenoblade DE LE but here in Poland all are sold out (3 shops in the entire country had it and preorders ended in like 10 minutes). Now on Allegro (polish ebay) they cost 50% more. Still, I could buy it, but I ain't gonna fill pocket of a damn flipper.

I understand why you hate it. Part of me does as well. I would never sell anything for as much as others do though. Last year I sold a few boxes of Japanese pokemon cards for $75 each ($30 more than what I paid). Other people were selling them for $100.

Am I just blind and deaf, or does the official soundtrack omit the track that plays upon

Spoiler

confronting Sephiroth in Chapter 18 on the Midgar Highway?

I thought it'd be "I'm Waiting Cloud" but that's the theme that plays after you destroy Whisper Harbinger.

Nah it's just a box.

Not sure on this one. It might be buried somewhere in another song, or it's one of those cutscene songs that just didn't make it to the soundtrack
