[Album] Final Fantasy III DS OST [SQEX-10076~7]

The tracks only loop once? What a crock! Even the rearranfed FF I&II were double-looped!

What is up with all the single-looping coming out of Squeenix recently?

How ya doing, buddy?

Exactly. Cheapskates!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why break up the soundtrack into two pieces when the reason for it is just to hear each track looped again? It's not a "crock;" it's efficient. Is the Repeat All option too much of a pain in the ass for you?

Efficiency be damned--it's not that expensive to press a CD, and splitting VGM works over two discs is common. Let's face it--twice-looped tracks are the rule, not the exception, and there are plenty of precedents within Squeenix itself for giving an album two discs (or even three or four) if it's a major release. I don't buy the "efficiency" argument for a minute. It's laziness, or cheapness, or both.

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