Soul Calibur 2 I believe the OST is the arcade (~2002) release, while the console versions (~2003) arranged some tracks, which actually were compiled here!
This case would be handled changing the platforms + using the notes, though.
(I didn't know this, though I played the game quite a bit, so it was neat you mentioned it).

Dark Cloud in-game uses sequenced (MIDI) music, so very likely the OST is source audio (before downconverting to PS2). Not just octaves, several tracks have better-sounding instruments or different rhythm patterns.
Several similar cases I'd like to mark fall into this category (Shadow Hearts series, FF 12/Tactics, etc)


The main distintion to me is "does it sound noticeably different compared to a mastered line-in recording?". We could be using it as a simple "contains changes compared to the game" marker I suppose --just think it would be neat to properly classify those cases.
