Breath Of Fire I-V Original Soundtrack Special Box (Pre-order)

http://www.vgmworld.com/catalog/inde...c&item_num=823

A boxset containing music from all five Breath of Fire games is now available for pre-order at VGM World. The release date is Mar 31, 2006; only a couple weeks from now! Not only do we finally get an album for the BoF 1&2 music, but we get what appears to be the complete BoF 3 soundtrack (3 discs, as opposed to the OST's paltry single disc).

My order has already been placed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Don't worry; it's not. This is:


There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, there's only 2000 of these being made, so don't wait too long.

How ya doing, buddy?

This makes me glad I didn't buy the Dragon Quarter OST prior to this, even though I think it's a great album. Also, I still haven't heard the entire BoF IV soundtrack, but some of the tracks I have heard are excellent. This will be a treat to listen to when it arrives at my house next month.

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

Maybe if you're encoding at 128 kbps, like a noob. Using VBR, I would expect it to be somewhere in the vicinity of 1 GB total.

Someone will do it and release it on #gamemp3s, no doubt. I already talked to Godai about it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hmm, due to the inclusion of new music, I'm not actually sure what the average disc length will be, so you may be right. Furthermore, this boxset will not be using the OST discs from either BoF II or BoF III, so I can't use them for calculation. However, BoF IV & BoF V each had over an hour's worth of music per disc, so that alone should raise the average disc time for this boxset.

At this point, I have no clue. I would expect it just to be the OST (SNES synth), but the number of tracks leaves something open for the imagination.

This boxset has 49 tracks from BoF I, however SNESMusic.org lists only 44 tracks (38 + 1 unused + 5 extra). The sound effect tracks are not likely to be included (see below), so something arranged may be occupying the remaning space.

On the other hand, this boxset has 48 tracks from BoF II, which is exactly the number listed on SNESMusic.org, sans sound effect tracks.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
