KICA-2308: Snatcher (reprint)

[LiquidAcid]

Hmm, just wondering if the covers naming is messed up: Why is there a "Booklet 15", but all the booklet pages 5-14 are missing?

Is this a typo?

[Secret Squirrel]

Well, it could be that pages are missing, or that it's just a typo on the booklet itself. These weren't my scans, and I don't own the album, but I went by the page number at the bottom of the booklet which is 15.

EDIT - That pages is also part of the scan "Insert Sketch", which contains the tail end of some sheet music, so it looks like we're missing the rest of that.

There is something very strange about this entry... it is a reprint of an original soundtrack, but classified as a drama. Yet when I go in to change it to original soundtrack, it is already selected as original soundtrack in the edit page, so I can't submit the change (because it tells me no changes were made).

[Secret Squirrel]

Yeah, it should be original soundtrack, but somehow was incorrect when first linked. You can fix it by editing the parent album, changing the classification to something else, then edit again to change it to Original Soundtrack, and they'll both match up.

[Medina]

Okay then, I'll remember that workaround.

It certainly sounds like a drama, due to all the talking and sound effects. I think it would be more appropriate to classify this as a soundtrack/drama.

Hmm, so basically what they did for this CD was to record dialog for certain scenes in the game that would feature dialog in subsequent releases of the game (PC Engine, Mega CD, etc) (probably this was Kojima original intention, but he couldn't do it for the original PC-88 and MSX2 releases due to hardware limitations). The voice actors here are not the same ones who worked on the English language Mega CD version though, so they are exclusive to this release.

Personally I still wouldn't regard this as "drama" though as it's not a standalone product, separate from the game.

this reprint and its parent have different products category, it's weird
