A few, simple queries concerning the music of DQVIII...

Exactly how different is the music of the original/Japanese-version, as compared to that in the North American/English-version?

I realize they decided to change the themes in the English-version to the Orchestrated-variety -- for whatever reason -- but does that apply to every single one of them? In other words, are all the themes in the English-version entirely different from those in the Japanese-version?

And, if so, has anyone actually taken it upon themsleves to rip the music from the English-version, as of yet?

Also, I've heard mention of an 'arranged'-version of the DQVIII OST, and assumed it's simply the 'Symphonic Suite'-album that's being referred to, but I wasn't certain. So, is that correct?

Thanks in-advance to all those whom reply. ^_^;;

Jam it back in, in the dark.
