For those of you who've got the first press, what bonus items do you get? I know about the 28 page book and the special cover. What else? I just ordered and I've got a feeling won't get the first press. ;__;

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I know this is likely because of the single, but it seems stupid to have a 4-disc OST and not include one of the game's hi-light songs.

As I've obviously not played the game yet, but do have the torrented version (haven't listened to 4th disc yet), I'm looking at the listings and it says for the last track
"20 Symphonic Poem "Hope" ~FINAL FANTASY XII PV ver.~ 3:53" as found on the link on the first page. So basically they didn't include Road of Hope in the OST? What the hell? That's honestly one of the first songs I've heard of FFXII and IMMEDIATELY fell in love with it. Correct me if I'm wrong here. I hope throughout the game that perhaps a few scenes here and there will contain it, but perhaps not, looking at the order of listing of tracks. =/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes I have, I think. There's been quite a few FFXII trailers I've seen so I'm sorta getting lost which one now, but I can obviously remember the music.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The Refrain is there. The OST version is identical to the Hope trailer version, if youve seen that.

I had a listen to it, and REALLY wondered what seriously happened to that. Road of Hope (movement #3) is my absolute favorite, but I'm very surprised they did it in the order of the Overture and then March of the Wisemen then the Refrain, interesting, but somewhat saddening.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Also kinda weird since the ending credit plays the full version of "Hope" instead of the PV version (I ripped the movie and watched it).

Indeed, very weird. I aslo had a listen to Kiss me goodbye, and I really didn't like it. Eyes on Me still tops the FF vocal charts, IMHO. Eyes on Me has that certain instant romantic feel that I think no other song can quite replace. It has the natural "Squall and Rinoa" stamp on it and it's honestly the first image that pops into my head, besides Julia and Laguna. Perhaps I haven't seen Kiss me Goodbye with a visual presentation so I'd have a different opinion rather than just listening to the music sans any CG. =/

How ya doing, buddy?

two hours to and two hours from... still took me two days to get through the OST!).

Holy cow, how taxing is this for your car gas bills?
On a related note, I'm still proding through and am working on disc 4 right now. Still, it's a real shame that the short version of the Road of Hope (basically Refrain) was used instead. Still the best track I've heard of the OST and Symphonic Suite.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Say, did anybody else notice that the main drumline in the final battle theme is exactly the same as the drumline in Ultima the Nice Body?

I was thinking EXACTLY of that battle theme listening to the battle music, mainly because both of them deal with basically the final battle. I'll listen again for the similarities, but I personally like the FFT final theme better. Just to be sure, the final battle is "Batte for Freedom", do I stand correct?

FELIPE NO
