These little in-game remix CDs are sick. Great for world building too. That DJ shoving Hip Hop de Chocobo on everyone, I was feeling it.

I was concerned they weren't gonna get Rotting Pizza right, but it was perfect.

As far as entirely new tracks are concerned, this is probably my favorite so far:

I remember when we all wondered what OG track that was supposed to be. In a way, it's a power to the new tracks that they can actually make us wonder that at all.

I was wondering when that one and it's battle theme were going to show up. I was completely wrong on my guess lol

Tried to pre order the soundtrack Special Edit, but it's sold out everywhere, does anybody know if they might restock before launch or if this is over for me ?

You can always try Amazon Japan or japanese import sites like CDJapan or something.

I’m finding the track very familiar sounding. It sounds very quintessentially FFVII. The background melody in the battle version sounds similar to the song that plays when Cloud fights the SHM for the first time in AC. The main melody... sounds like it has bits of the main theme from the OG in a different key. Maybe I’m hearing bits of Mako Reactor as well. What’s interesting about game soundtracks is the motifs that they hide everywhere.

Id be surprised if they didn't restock after its released

Pre-oders are still open on Amazon Japan: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B0862F99BB/

You can even get this mini-memo pad via that link:

There are other memo pads exclusive to certain stores in Japan, though I think Amazon Japan is the easiest to deal with for those outside Japan.

I did love

all those little singles covers

I'm wondering something though, now that we're talking about this - the demo leaks had a full jukebox OST with remixed tracks from other FF games (I specifically remember Dancing Mad being in there). I wonder if they're going to appear in DLC at some point?

I'm curious what the post-launch plan was, and I'm also curious if that's changed because of COVID. I know FFXIV had a patch delayed, so if they were planning dlc or updates for the remake, maybe that all got delayed too.

All of the Jukebox tracks that weren't the actual final ones were placeholders from various different albums

The OST site now has BGM samples for Disc 1. They've also revealed titles that were previously "???" and made a correction to track 15's title on Disc 3 (previously it was "Who Are You?" it's now "Who Am I?"). Lastly, Disc 8 now has a full list of tracks.

I really, really love that 7 Seconds Till The End is an arrangement of Listen to the Cries of the Planet.

I was trying to find that on YouTube after I heard it in the game!

That's my favourite field music from the original and this is a really neat remix. I do still want to hear a properly done version though, of course

I think the only reason I got as many chills I did during this scene was because of this arrangement. I truly can't wait to hear a completely redone track though.

I would assume that they were just placeholders.
