  Beginning a New and Excitingly Different Story: Final Fantasy Type-0 (Review)

  While Final Fantasy Type-0 is out in just days in Japan (October 27), there’s still no word on a release date outside of Japan. I’m pretty sure it will come, however, as Square Enix has stated that they’re hoping to turn Type-0 into a franchise of its own.

  With music by Takeharu Ishimoto, fans have wanted to hear more from the game, and we have been able to listen to the preview disc and unbox the limited edition soundtrack for you. We now have the three-disc soundtrack here in its entirety along with the limited edition DVD.

  Find out if it’s a worthy addition to the Final Fantasy franchise in our review after the jump. (more…)

  OSVchannel: Final Fantasy Type-0 Limited Edition Soundtrack Unboxing Video

  October 19, 2011 | Jayson Napolitano | 1 Comment Share this OSVchannel: Final Fantasy Type-0 Limited Edition Soundtrack Unboxing Video

  With the release of the Final Fantasy Type-0 soundtrack due out next week on October 26, it’s time to start thinking about whether or not you want to spring for the limited edition this time or not. Fortunately the difference this time around is only 500 Yen, so there’s little reason not to pick up the limited edition as you’ll see in the above video. In addition to the bonus DVD, there’s also some snazzy packaging and a full-size booklet to sweeten the deal, although you’re going to have trouble finding a spot in your CD rack for this one.

  We’ve previewed the Type-0 soundtrack, but watch for full coverage in the coming weeks. Let us know what you think of the packaging and whether you intend to pick up the standard edition or the limited edition. As of the time we’re preparing this post, there are only 26 copies of the LE available at CD Japan, so you better commit soon!

  Square Enix’s United States of Odaiba Trio: SFX, SQ Chips, and Type-0 (Review)

  August 3, 2011 | Jayson Napolitano | 1 Comment Share this Square Enix’s United States of Odaiba Trio: SFX, SQ Chips, and Type-0 (Review)

  

  We mentioned a few weeks back that Square Enix was preparing a trio of albums to commemorate Fuji TV’s 2011 United States of Odaiba event. These included previews of the upcoming SQ Chips album and Final Fantasy Type-0 soundtrack as well as a sound effects collection CD. I was excited for all three, and the 500 Yen asking price made them an affordable treat for anyone who could make it out to the event.

  So what do they offer? While you’ll be able to enjoy SQ Chips and Final Fantasy Type-0 in their entirety in a matter of months, the Square Enix Sound Effect Collection is a release that is unique to the event.

  Are they worth you putting in the effort to track them down? Find out after the jump! (more…)
