Definitely am pasting this from Gamefaqs.  Oh well.

I wasn't going to download the rom until I heard it had a complete soundtest on the title screen. How could one resist that, given the series' illustrious musical pedigree? Don't worry, I'm not going to play it, and even if the game is never released here I'll buy a copy... or three. :>

Well, I must say I'm slightly disappointed, but I didn't expect Keiichi Suzuki to be back anyway.

If they did get him, he's had a severe regression in style. Including the earthbound tracks just makes the difference that much more noticeable.

The new tracks seem to try to continue Suzuki's spirit, but half-heartedly. The ingeniously ironic genre imitations (the hippy music, psychedelic techno) that are not merely 8-bit renditions of classics, but introduce clever sampling, catchy but never trite melodies, polyrhythms, and a cohesion across a diverse soundscape---these are absent, replaced with traditional (and rather corny) game music with some interesting instrumentation and a few songs (especially the ambient tracks) that truly follow in Suzuki's footsteps.

Of course, I've only begin to listen, so maybe I'll be surprised later.

No love for Mother?

Hahaha! Nothing like that, my friend! Some of us here are big Earthbound fans, so we're definitely looking forward to the game, and all that it has to offer. By chance, would you have some audio rips that you would post? I'd love to hear what this title has to offer in the way of it's soundtrack.

Yes, we certainly are.  Unfortunately, we don't play RPGs in Japanese anymore, so we must wait and pray for an English release.  Incidentally, since we are speaking in second person for some unknown reason, we'd like to mention that we are very disappointed in Takahashi for saying those nasty things about the Revolution.

Maybe he will be able to convince Sony that it's a good idea to keep using the dual shock design for yet another generation instead introducing the boomerang. =P

To get back on topic, anyone able to offer us a save file for the game which has all 250 tracks unlocked already? This would make it easier for us to have a nice listen and write some comments meanwhile, we guess.

They're all unlocked at the beginning!  Just no titles.  You don't even have to start the game.
I assume GBA ripping is fairly simple.  If someone points me in the right direction, I'll gladly do it---but I bet someone already has.

A GSF rip is already available at http://gsf.caitsith2.net/
