SBPS-0076~95: Xenoblade Original Soundtrack Trinity Box

[Chris Porter]

I never thought we'd see Torna get a physical release. Very happy they decided to include that fantastic music in this set.

[Phonograph]

honestly, they coulda added in disc 11, the 6th disc of xb2 ost type b
25 mins (cd6) + 43 mins (ira) -> less than 69 mins

Not sure if it's known yet, but for Xenoblade 3, does this include https://vgmdb.net/album/127908 or https://vgmdb.net/album/127906 or a different version? Don't want to miss out on liner notes / extra materials.

As far as XBC3 content, the Trinity Box only includes the 9 discs of the XBC3 OST. It doesn't include the XBC3 OST Limited Edition's bonuses: so, no 80-page XBC3 OST booklet (though this Trinity Box has its own 56-page booklet), no two flute replicas, no illustrations, and no message cards.

Look under the "Product Details" section on the Trinity Box product page:

Compared to the XBC3 OST Limited Edition:

If I am understanding correctly there is no way to get the whole trilogy collection and also the flute models without buying the XB3 ost twice. And there is also no way of getting Torna outside of this, so I feel like I am stuck buying a lot of overlap just to get everything. Super annoying!

In order to get all the music from the games and the DLC, then all you need is the Trinity Box. But yeah, if you want the extras that are included with the XBC3 LE OST as well as Torna's music on disc, you need to buy both the Box and the LE XBC3. That's what I ended up doing, but I expect most people will only buy one or the other.

To make spending all that cash a little easier to swallow, just think of it as supporting Procyon Studios for their fantastic music and physical releases, and also you could think of it as an investment, since these limited releases virtually always increase in value (just look at what the two limited edition sets of the XBC2 OSTs are going for online now).

But, I would just enjoy the two products for what they are. I'm sure they will be a joy to have in your collection as the packaging and design sounds like it will be really nice.

PROCYON STUDIO has released some images of what the limited edition soundtrack for Xenoblade 3 and the Trinity Box will look like:

Alas, no track list yet for the last disc. We'll probably have to wait until after the album is released for that info! (Thankfully it's not far off now.)

[yindesu]

Since it wasn't posted yet, there's a good chance the shipping date will slip 2 days:

Seems like that foreign orders are delayed, despite "Shipping still being on schedule" (in the Japanese message, orders for within Japan only got the delay until 31st of July (if not later)). Not a big deal, understandable because of the XB3 Limited Edition manufacturing issues.

We deeply apologize again for the time it is taking to ship out all of the international orders. We are doing everything in our ability to ensure that the items you ordered arrive without any damage and hope that the wait will be worth it.

Sincerely,
Procyon Store Support

Noteworthy is that some international orders already shipped out - I got my tracking 3 days ago and yesterday they started to move the package within Japan since yesterday. They are shipping in a weird manner however: I've had the Trinity Box ordered on April 20th, while I know people who ordered way earlier in April and are waiting for theirs to get shipped out.

[Toad King]

Judging by people posting about their orders, it looks like people who ordered just the Trinity Box are getting theirs first. I haven't seen anybody outside of Japan who got the 3 LE yet.

EDIT: Wrong thread.

I ordered just the trinity box and im still waiting. I understand they were wanting to go about it slower with shipping to ensure stuff doesnt get damaged, but the wait is killing me lol

doesn't look great for those who only purchased the trinity box at least: https://twitter.com/bllyray/status/1687774536337612800

I don't know if this would have helped: bubblewrap?

[cal]

There have been several reports of boxes arriving damaged, both domestically and internationally:

It's very concerning.

The good news is that Procyon Studio will try to replace damaged units once a claim has been filed with FedEx:

And yes, they are definitely not shipping in the order they were placed. I put in my order (Trinity Box only) on the same day the page went live and I still have not received any shipment notification.

I got mine last week and the packaging itself was a fairly thin cardboard box with one layer of bubblewrap around the box set itself. I can easily see how that's not enough to protect against corner damage if the box is dropped during shipment.

I was fortunate to not have any damage on mine, though.

[TopHat]

From my own shipment (which came in today):

- My box looks in almost perfect conditions (very small bumps, which is to be somewhat expected, compared to the reports on social media)
- My box was wrapped in bubblewrap with some paper to fill in the gap of the box to minimize the movement of the Trinity Box inside of the larger square FedEx box.

[splashmob]

anyone here outside the US or Japan who's received theirs yet? i'm in Australia and mine hasn't shipped out yet. i'm alright waiting for it, just curious to know how other international orders have gone.

I'm in Europe and got mine pretty fast. I know other folks in Europe who ordered earlier than me and are still waiting on a shipping confirmation, so I don't think there's much logic to how these are shipping out.

[JTurner]

I am still waiting for my shipment of XBC3 Limited Edition.

[JadeSabre]

My shipment (US) was delivered on the 25th. It was in perfect condition. There was the initial bubble wrap pouch around the box, and then that was in another bubble wrap pouch. Maybe they figured that + the paper around it to keep it in place is enough of a barrier now?

[Capture737]

I got mine on friday, finally! (EU)
My box was a bit damaged on one side of the cap even having double bubble wrapping, but nothing too serious, so it's fine for me.
Was quite excited for it! The internal disc covers are quite nice

[link28469]

Got mine on September 1st with no damage thankfully. Seems they shipped at random, as I preordered both limited editions less than an hour after their announcement. Trying to figure out the fastest way to tag mine using vgmdb data

[splashmob]

mine got here yesterday in flawless condition. glad to finally have it, i'm gonna treasure this!

The arranger credits for the Xenoblade 2 track have some differences from the original 2018 release:

Xenoblade II - Where It All Began - / The Decision / A Faint Hope / Escape - Going Through Clouds -
Arrangement is now solely attributed to Mitsuda. Before it was Mitsuda and Abounnasr. (Abounnasr may still be formally credited for orchestration, though.)

White All Around Us
Arrangement is now solely attributed to Abounnasr.

Tiger! Tiger!
A Brewing Storm
Both were missing arranger credits.

We Are the Chosen Ones
Arrangement was attributed to Mitsuda in the websites and to Abounnasr in the XC2 booklet. This has been corrected.

The Decision
Arrangement was attributed to Mitsuda and Abounnasr in the XC2 OST website and booklet, solely to Mitsuda in the
Trinity Box website. Is now solely attributed to Mitsuda on both websites.

A response from Procyon Studio about the changes:

Due to changes in how credits are generally listed within Japan and changes in the rules regarding credits within Procyon Studio, a number of discrepancies occurred between the credits listed in the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Original Soundtrack booklet and the credits listed on the recently uploaded special websites.
