SQEX-10320: FINAL FANTASY XI CHIPS

[Don]

Is there a website for this album or is this a special event only release? I couldn't find a website doing a quick search.

Best I could find about it.

I've seen it here: http://www.playonline.com/ff11/event/vanafest2012/detail.html?id=sale

It says it should be available at the beginning of July.


Edit: looks like I spoke too quickly! Official website is http://www.square-enix.co.jp/music/sem/page/ff11chips/

Added official website link as well as the tracklist/composer/arranger details from there, I hope nobody minds.

Does anyone know if SE will be printing this to a wider audience? CDJapan has it listed as a "special request item" and is thus double the normal cost. I want this album, but don't want to pay big bucks if it's going to get a separate release in the coming months.

Sadly, they say it's only available via Square Enix's e-store.

I'm a fan of SQ Chips, but they're selling this at a higher price (2100 yen) with less tracks, less arrangers, less distribution, less variety of track origins. Not a wise way to produce something that is presumably the first installment of the chip tunes arranged albums dedicated to XI, imo.

Apparently, there will be chip albums released for FFVII, VIII, IX, and X at the upcoming Shibuya event for the FF anniversary.

Interesting. (http://www.finalfantasy.jp/special/mog_guide/25th_anniversary_market.pdf) I wonder if I should attend it merely for the sake of those CDs...

Awesome, if true!

Why the title isn't "FINAL FANTASY XI CHIPS" ?
Like stated in SE e-Store (http://store.jp.square-enix.com/detail/SQEX-10320) & Official website (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/music/sem/page/ff11chips/) ?

Also, what about the price of 1800 Y and not 2100 Y ?

I wonder who DIRTY-SYNTHESIZER is. His arrangement of the Opening Theme is absolutely fantastic. On his myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/sexysynthesizer3) he links to sexy-synthesizer.com (http://sexy-synthesizer.com/). Maybe he is a part of that? Apparently sexy-synthesizer is two members?

added scans.

EDIT -- date on back cover says June 23, not July 13. Shall we change?

I think this was answered in another thread but I think sexy-synthesizer/DIRTY-SYNTHESIZER/(S_S) are all aliases for a single guy.
