Well, we'll see how the rest of it goes. I haven't been terribly impressed with the arrangements or sound of the regular battle theme or "Seymour Battle", but if this soundtrack is heavy on remakes on the level of "Besaid Island" I'd say it's certainly worthy of a release, if not necessarily a must-buy. Hell, I just spent what is likely to be more than $50 after shipping and middleman fees on a one-disc CD soundtrack and we all know that's not at all unusual for people around here.

I do feel apathy for their decision to release it only on Blu-ray since it is nonsensically more expensive than four CDs and Square Enix seem to think it's perfectly acceptable to resample 16-bit 44.1 kHz audio to 96 kHz, add eight empty bits to the bottom, boost the volume several decibels with compression/limiting, and tell you it's superior, premium sound quality.
