Wow anywhere from $19.37-$28.13 for shipping? With Amazon Japan it's 7,777JPY but shipping (for me at least) was only 930JPY, for a total of 8,727JPY.

Been listening to this. There's a lot of interesting new tracks - some could be taken straight out of XIII, XIII-2, XIII:LR or KV. (Probably KH too, I wouldn't know it.) Take for instance "Infinity's End" or "Those in need", those are straight up XIII tracks*. Or like, XIII 2020 style. There were also some electric guitars in chapter 17 that could have been taken straight out of Yakuza. They're good though, it's just so striking.
* Considering the location in at least IE, that might have been deliberate - as an homage. I can get into that.
I'm not a big fan to what they did to some of the pure 'remade' tracks, but that's just me. The ones they completely skewed (like Oppressed People battle remix) are my favourites.

Didn't really hear any KH-y stuff. Definitely XIII and Dirge of Cerberus stuff though. Which makes sense given Hamauzu.
Yeah but still interesting he had such free hands with this, using his existing (in other games) style for this. I'm sure a composer has more range than that. (Or maybe not, who knows 
) Makes me think it's deliberate in some way. idk.
Most likely he's just someone on payroll that was given free reigns

Well the Dirge-y feel in Chapter 13 feels intentional.
Chapter 5, people have joked, sounds very XIII-y while also being a chapter of walking through literal tunnels
I struggle to imagine he was actually aware/in on that, though

I'm pretty sure the bonus disc on the special edition version of the OST is just the jukebox music.

Looks like I might have to eat crow on that statement
Because it now seems more and more like there's a bunch of cutscene music that is not going to be on this.

I love that Chapter 9 gets an entire disc of the soundtrack dedicated to it. It's also the disc I'm most looking forward to.

Unless they've changed it recently because of the COVID-19 situation, yes.

You know, I was thinking recently about the track "The Look on Her Face". It's from
Jessie's "death" scene (I put it in quotes because of the possibility the ending left us that she's still alive), but the track refers to Tifa - you can tell because Jessie's first line in that scene is about that very thing. So the track and its name end up being all about Tifa when it's supposed to be Jessie's song and Jessie's moment. Just a little miffed about that, especially since the two had next to no interaction on screen before this moment, which makes Tifa's grief a little hard to take in because we haven't actually seen hardly anything of their friendship, not enough to make her breakdown believable.

The name of the song doesn't come up during the scene. It can't impact it at all.

I didn't even know the name of the song when I saw the scene, as I imagine most folks won't. No one is watching it thinking "This scene is all about Tifa."
Besides, Jessie is the one to say the line the title of the scene is apparently derived from. So one could easily interpret the title as being about Jessie's state of mind there.
