*drum roll*
Preorders:
FCCT-0157 | DEVIL SURVIVOR 2 BREAK RECORD Original Sound Track (further delayed)
Interesting:
TKCA-74030 | Kaguyahime no Monogatari Soundtrack (Ghibli & Hisaishi, the classic combo)
N/A | EXSTETRA Mini Soundtrack CD (main theme supposedly by Yoko Shimomura)
CPCA-10322~3 | Monster Hunter 4 Original Soundtrack (not much is known about the composers involved)
SQEX-10392~5 | LIGHTNING RETURNS:FINAL FANTASY XIII Original Soundtrack (third and last part of the FFXIII series)
COCX-38283 | Kyouso Giga Music Collection (Go Shiina finally doing something else than IDOLM@STER)
KDSD-00676 | Reverberation / Kaori Oda (MANYO, with Kaori Oda on vocals)
N/A | Ragnarok Online Elemental Tunes (RO arrange, lots of big names in the arranger list)
The rest:
VPCG-84960 | Shin Rorona no Atelier Hajimari no Monogatari ~Arland no Renkinjutsushi~ Original Soundtrack (remake (?) of the Rorona soundtrack, IMO one of the weakest Atelier soundtracks)
AVCD-55050 | Danball Senki WARS LBX Battle Soundtrack (Kondoh does more Danball Senki)
PCCG-01373 | Outbreak Company Original Soundtrack
SECL-1421 | Kimi no Gin no Niwa / Kalafina (Kalafina is kinda meh lately...)
WWCE-31296~8 | SONIC LOST WORLD ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK WITHOUT BOUNDARIES (me = not the biggest Sonic fan)
KDSD-00675 | Passage / Motoi Sakuraba (he should do another piano album, like Forest of glass)
There is a lot going on this month. Information about who composed for EXSTETRA is kinda sparse and inconclusive, but my hope is that Shimomura did more than just the main theme and that we might get a full release of that soundtrack. Yeah, yeah, I know...
Also, I was thinking about preordering the Lightning Returns album, but nothing I heard from the sampler, trailer, teaser, etc. has really convinced me that it's worth it. So I'm just going to wait and see how it turns out. Which should be no real disadvantage in this case, since the release doesn't feature any kind of limited edition (there is some first print bonus, but I think it's only an ingame item *lol*).
And I'm especially delighted by the fact that Go Shiina has finally broken free (?) from the IDOLM@STER franchise. No idea what this Kyouso Giga animation is about, and if we can expect a new God Eater or Tales of Legendia. Well, probably not, but anyway, it's a nice change.
What do you think about November's releases? Any particular album which you look forward to?
Greets,
