Hello everyone,I'm new to this forum (but not to the marketplaces so some people may already know me).
I had two things to ask.Firstly,I wanted to ask if someone knew if the Chrono Cross Arranged Album were just rumors or if it will really be coming out.It may have been answered elsewhere but as answers are always contradicting each other so I'm hoping that someone with true confirmed piece of informaion will answer me.
Secondly,I'm starting a topic which might seem totally useless to most of you,but that might interest at least a minority.I'm proposing all of you to list in this topic all of the RPG soundtracks with known bonuses,and if they were originally coming with obis or not.It is just that I collect first pressings and I like to know when it is really complete or not.Please put everything you know.If you notice a mistake somewhere or something missing,please warn me.Registration cards do not have to be noted.Concerning the Final Fantasy series,there is a site (http://www.ffmusic.info/ffsoundtracks.html) that is very complete concerning contents,so please focus on other series.

Here is the list (already updated twice):

Breath of Fire V Dragon Quarter Original Soundtrack (CPCA-1067/8):Comes with cardboard outter and inner cases,liner notes on individual pieces of paper and no obi.

Chrono Cross Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10040): Comes with a mini poster,cardboard outter case and no obi.

Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version (PSCN-5021~3): Comes with a bonus sticker and apparently a piece of paper with orange writing on it (am I wrong?)(all editions of this one have the cardboard outter case).

Chrono Trigger PSX Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10039): Comes with registration card,no obi but a cardboard outter case.

Genso Suikoden IV Limited Edition OST (KOLA 102~103): Comes with obi,liner notes,registration card,cardboard outter box in dvd size(not entirely wrapping the cd) and a music sheet.

Saga Frontier OST (SSCX-10009): Comes with cardboard outter case,and liner notes on a booklet made with a special hard paper presenting pictures of the main characters.No obi.

SaGa Frontier II OST (SSCX-10031):Comes with cardboard outter case,wrapping three separate plastic cases (one for each cd) and as a bonus a beautiful (small)book of illustrations.No obi.

Seiken Densetsu Legend of Mana (SSCX-10034) comes with a thick cardboard outer sleeve/shell, with registration card,and obi.

Xenogears Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10013): Comes within a cardboard case (dvd size),a mini poster and some liner notes of the same size than the box.

Xenosaga Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10062~3) comes in a digipak case with registration card and obi.Some shops were apparently giving a sticker when ordering this cd(link to the pics of this sticker http://ps2media.ign.com/media/news2/ima … cker_1.jpg ).

Xenosaga OST (SSCX-10062~3) comes in a digipak case with reg card. No OBI.

SD/Legend of Mana (SSCX-10034) comes with a thick cardboard outer sleeve/shell, with reg card. No OBI.

Alas,my dear Zane,there is an obi included in the Legend Of Mana OST.I saw it several times along with the cardboard case edition on yahoo Japan (and that's a reallly difficult thing to find one complete with obi).
I'm adding:

Breath of Fire V Dragon Quarter Original Soundtrack (CPCA-1067/8):Comes with cardboard outter and inner cases,liner notes on individual pieces of paper and no obi.

Chrono Cross Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10040): Comes with a mini poster,cardboard outter case and no obi.

Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version (PSCN-5021~3): Comes with a bonus sticker and apparently a piece of paper with orange writing on it (am I wrong?)(all editions of this one have the cardboard outter case).

Chrono Trigger PSX Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10039): Comes with registration card,no obi but a cardboard outter case.

Xenogears Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10013): Comes within a cardboard case (dvd size),a mini poster and some liner notes of the same size than the box.

Ooooh, my mistake. I had no idea.

Oh,and I forgot:the Xenosaga OST from Digicube also have an obi.It is even different from the one on the regular edition(with plastic case).I ordered it a second time from Yahoo Japan just to get it.

Funny, I just looked and my LoM OST with cardboard doesn't have it, and I never toss them.

First press "Black Mages 2" came with a full-size poster.

Xenosaga Original Soundtrack (SSCX-10062~3) comes with a sticker for the fp version and does come with a obi.
LoM OST comes with a obi as well, very large.

FFVI OST from NTT comes with a special leaflet featuring Tina ".. but i still don't know what love is" for the fp, a booklet and a cardboard case, no obi

Frankly you'd better restrict the topic to goods that come with first print versions only otherwise this list may never end.
I'll add some more now and then.

That's the goal of this topic,Alcahest.First pressing bonuses only.
One thing though.Do not bother to put FF OSTs.There is already a website very complete on this subject.About the Xenosaga sticker,was it inside the case and what does it look like?
About the LOM,it's strange but many people miss the obi.I suppose they did not buy it new or else maybe it is missing on some soundtracks.

Could you link to this website? (if it's not http://ffmusic.info/ , hi Schala)
The Xenosaga sticker wasn't in the case iirc, but given by the shop when you bought the album.

Thanks a lot.But in a way,damn,I still miss something in this OST...How boring it is to collect stupid details,and not soundtracks only.And what a waste of money each month.But apparently,I'm not the only one who is interested in bonuses as well as the ost itself.Personally,it is because I think the true collectable value comes from the bonuses themselves and not from a cd that is most of the time already reprinted.But maybe am I childish and superficial (does superficial really exist in English?).
