  I would say the chances of Final Fantasy Legends coming out in the US are pretty slim, but then again I thought we’d never get The After Years. For those who are unfamiliar, the game was an episodic Final Fantasy spin-off released in Japan on mobile phones with music composed by Naoshi Mizuta.

  Square Enix was kind enough to release the game’s soundtrack via iTunes in Japan after the final episode had been released. Do the 90+ minutes of RPG music by Mizuta strike that nostalgic chord, or do they fall flat?

  Sneak a Peek at Square Enix’s Busy Future: Sampler CD Vol.5! (Review)

  It’s that time of year again. The Tokyo Game Show has come and gone, and Square Enix has once again treated fans to a preview of their upcoming soundtracks, and therefore, games, at the event. The release of these discs has become somewhat of a tradition, as this is the fifth volume of this sampler series, and the third of which we’ve covered on OSV (see Vol.3 and Vol.4).

  This time around, we get a much wider selection of pieces, which shows that Square Enix has a lot planned in this coming year. While we’ve covered a few of the releases featured on this disc (Final Fantasy XIV Battle Tracks and Field Tracks are present, for example), the vast majority are still unreleased, and I know a lot of you are with me in wondering what some of these titles are about.
