And here I was thinking that we were going to get a Front Mission box set next.
Square Enix has announced a 20-disc box set featuring all of the music from the Seiken Densetsu series that will also include the Final Fantasy Gaiden and secret of mana + arrange albums from the franchise. We saw something similar with the SaGa series a couple of years ago, and were incredibly impressed with the collection, but now Square Enix aims to give the Seiken Densetsu series a similar treatment (hopefully this one won’t be rendered obsolete as quickly as SaGa set).
Games that will be featured include Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana, Children of Mana, Dawn of Mana, and Heroes of Mana. This covers music from everyone from Hiroki Kikuta to Kenji Ito to Yoko Shimomura. Of all the massive box sets that have been announced (with the exception of the canceled Genso Suikoden box), this has to be the one I’m most excited about. You can bet we’ll have coverage of this collection as the release date of September 14, 2011 closes in. And start saving, because the box is going to set you back 21,000 Yen!
Are you giddy with excitement about this box? Are you pleased that the arrange albums will be included as well? And what does this bode for the fate of the Seiken Densetsu franchise?
