Angela Mar 1, 2011

Looks like it'll just be the DISSIDIA 012 FINAL FANTASY OST for me this month -- and even then, I'll be trying before buying.  The arrangements in the first DISSIDIA were severely hit or miss, but the musical selection this time around looks really tempting.  Looking forward to Matoya's Cave, FFIV's Fight 1, FFVI's Battle Theme, and FFVIII's Julia and Force Your Way.

That Silent Hill Sounds Box looks handsome, but I would trade it all in for a proper Silent Hill 2 complete soundtrack release.

Wanderer Mar 1, 2011

Yeah, there's really nothing of interest this month. Fortunately, there's plenty of stuff from last month to catch up on (like Valkyria Chronicles 3 and The Last Story).

Unlike Angela, I'm definitely looking forward to the Dissidia 012 soundtrack, the ltd. ed is already on its way to me (hopefully should be arriving tomorrow or Thursday).  I liked the arrangements from the first too, but then I'm a sucker for anything Final Fantasy.

Also got the More SQ album coming my way too.  I liked having Love SQ and Chill SQ on in the background for awhile when they first came out, and I go back to them every so often.  I've seen the PV for More SQ, and some arrangements sound ok, some sound great, and some sound pretttty bad.  But it's the same thing with the two previous entries too so it's really just par for the course i think with this series and me.

I'm also importing the FFIV Complete Collection Ultimate Pack from Japan (mostly for the exclusive extras in that set - the European special edition's extras which have been announced are kinda meh) which is out March 24, and that contains a soundtrack disc with After Years tracks on them.

Speaking of European special editions... why do they get ones and we get bupkiss over here?  There's been sp. ed's now for Birth By Sleep, Duodecim, 3rd Birthday and FFIV complete collection as well.   what gives?!?! 

By the way if anyone gets extra codes for unlockables for Duodecim and doesn't want them, please send them my way?  We Canucks always seem to get the shaft on them... sad

Technically it was February (2/28) but it wasn't mentioned there either.  Who's excited for the Soukyugurentai reprint?!  I paid 100$ for the original of this thing, seems that's the way it's going these days though...

Other than that I'm excited for Silent Hill box (box sets will be the end of me.................).  I'd love to get a hold of this puppy: http://vgmdb.net/album/22762 as well.

I do wish I knew what Otomedius was about; checked its VGMdb page, didn't see much about it...

More SQ, the samples make it sound just a bit tempting; Chill SQ, I completely passed on, Love SQ was okay, I guess...

Otomedius OST looks interesting to me.

surprising to see Motoi Sakuraba - Force of Light reprint up there. you can find that CD on ebay or EU amazon shops if you get lucky, the slightly different Shining Force III OST is harder to find and generally more expensive.

Jay Mar 2, 2011

I really want that Silent Hill set. But I have 7 of those discs already. And not much money. So I may skip it, which feels just wrong. I just can't justify the purchase. But I waaaaaaant it.

Boco Mar 3, 2011

Earthbound Papas - Octave Theory
Otomedius OST
Motoi Sakuraba - Force of Light
Macross F Movie ~Sayonara no Tsubasa~

I don't know if I'll actually have that much money (probably not), but those are the ones on my list. Heck, I still need to pick up the soundtracks for Ghost Trick and Gyakuten Kenji 2. My wallet is going to be hurting this month. XD
