  Fans of the Final Fantasy spin-off Dissidia fighting game will be getting the soundtrack to both versions of the arcade game, according to Square Enix’s website, on April 27th.

  The Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade Soundtrack album will feature original compositions from the brawling game, as well as a slew of arranged pieces from several Final Fantasy games, all done by Takeharu Ishimoto, Tsuyoshi Sekito, and Keiji Kawamori (Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy). The soundtrack will be on sale on Square Enix’s store, Amazon Japan and the Sony music shop, all for around 2,800 yen ($24.65 USD). You can also pre-order on YesAsia.

  Check out the Dissidia website for more information.

  Hearts of Hearts: Kingdom Hearts 3D OST (Review)

  November 13, 2012 | Haroon Piracha | Comments Off on Hearts of Hearts: Kingdom Hearts 3D OST (Review) Share this Hearts of Hearts: Kingdom Hearts 3D OST (Review)

  

  Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance has been a highly anticipated game by many Kingdom Hearts enthusiasts such as myself. Aside from being a game for the Nintendo 3DS, I thought that this game was a continuation of Kingdom Hearts 2 due to its name. The game is actually said to be a prequel to Kingdom Hearts 3 with its gameplay and plot previewing the next installment. Its soundtrack is the first in the Kingdom Hearts series to be a collaboration between composers. I was excited by the idea of a collaboration; it gives soundtrack multiple approaches to the same idea or the same theme for the game, much like Mass Effect, God of War, or Final Fantasy X have done. So how did Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance OST cope with three composers? Find out after the jump! (more…)

  OSVchannel: The 3rd Birthday Original Soundtrack Unboxing Video

  Okay, so I caved and did it anyway. I figured you’d all want an advance look at exactly what you’ll be getting when you pick up The 3rd Birthday Original Soundtrack on December 22, 2010 in Japan. By now you’ve likely read our review and know that we were impressed with what we heard, but you’ll be interested to see a packaging style similar to that of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together which we reviewed and unboxed last month.

  In addition to checking out the packaging in the video, we also have the unique “Joy to the World” arrangement performed by members of the Square Enix sound team playing in the background. Let it act as a preview of some of the strangeness that you’ll hear on the album (although I admit it’s the strangest of the bunch).

  Let us know what you think of the packaging, “Joy to the World,” and the soundtrack overall as it ships to your homes this week!

  Just in Time for Christmas: The Horrific 3rd Birthday Soundtrack (Review)

  December 20, 2010 | Jayson Napolitano | 4 Comments Share this Just in Time for Christmas: The Horrific 3rd Birthday Soundtrack (Review)

  

  Yeah, a new entry into the Parasite Eve franchise seems more suited for a Halloween release than a Christmas one, but apparently Square Enix thinks otherwise.  Just two days away from release in Japan (alongside the soundtrack), events in the game apparently take place around the holiday season, with even a few surprise Christmas songs making their way into the soundtrack.

  But I’m getting ahead of myself.  Series composer Yoko Shimomura returns with composers Tsuyoshi Sekito and Mitsuto Suzuki to provide a pretty sizable 3-disc soundtrack for the third chapter of Parasite Eve on the PSP.  Are they able to maintain the quality music that the series was known for in the past?

  Find out in our review of The 3^rd Birthday Original Soundtrack after the jump! (more…)
