I've heard some claims that this release of the soundtrack might be lossy, would anyone be able to confirm if this is true or not? The digital release on steam only comes in lossy MP3s since according to a developer these "are exactly what we received" because "sometimes raw materials simply aren't available." This seems to be the case for a few tracks on the prequel's digital OST as well judging by the note on the bottom of the English tracklist. Regardless, I was curious if this applied to the physical reprint by MangaGamer as well as that appears to be the only non-digital release that's still readily available. The original release does have a listing on Amazon.jp, but I have yet to see one actually pop up there.

I emailed MangaGamer about the matter and their response was the following: When we requested the data to create the digital/physical OSTs for Fata Morgana, we did ask Novectacle for the highest quality version that exists. The staffer responding to you today isn't entirely sure if that means it's lossy or lossless, but it's certainly the best quality version of the OST in existence as per the developer. We hope this helps!

Though unfortunately even if it is the best quality that was made available to them it doesn't mean that they weren't potentially given an inferior quality version to that the original release.
