Hi taaniel. How did you verify this? It's the LE I've got, and it plays without problem on a US PS3 and UK PS3.

\BDMV\STREAM\00052.m2ts -- Eyes On Me from FF8, same as track 13 but no vocals
\BDMV\STREAM\00053.m2ts -- Opera from FF6, same as track 8 but no vocals

Just going by memory, but aren't these at the end of the main orchestral playlist? If not, perhaps they become available as alternative streams when you play the vocal versions?

See my comment above. The PS3 player software probably doesn't care about the region code.

I never saw the need to extract the region code, but VSO Inspector can probably do it.

Both blurays (standard/limited edition) are region free according to cdj and was already mentioned in this thread.

Yeah, my mistake. One of my tools was mistakenly reporting it as Region A, but I've tried a few others and they're all reporting no region code. Sorry about that!

Had a listen to this disc again last night - these instrumental tracks play in the background during the photo slideshows in the extras.

For completeness, should these bonuses (as well as the 'original versions' playlist) be added to the main tracklist for this release, or just mentioned in the notes?

[student41269]

Submitted new tracklists (English and Japanese) which include the original version tracks. If all's well, please use these and also accept the edits in the notes section. I'll submit the same tracklists and changes for the limited edition.

Late to the party but I finally heard this. The battle medley is awesome minus an unforgivable flaw: cutting off the FFXII boss theme right before my favorite part. Man do I love that song, and this orchestra really would've done the climax justice. Right in the (bad) feels.

In addition to these, Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec is just the OST version.

Indeed, don't know how I forgot "Liberi Fatali" as it's kind of a biggie.
