This is listed as "Composer Selected Soundtrack" (as the image suggests) elsewhere on the site. It is indeed going to be a child album of the Japanese print, but this is a duplicate listing.

I don't get what do you mean. Will both US releases (the 4CDs set & the single CD release) will be called "Composer Selected" ? Or is one of them cancelled ?
I thought there were 2 different packages:
4 disc set with Crystal Edition
Single disc with Collector's Edition

I just picked up my Collector's Edition (the $80 one) today and can verify that it does, indeed, have all four disks included.

The packaging disappointment, on the other hand... is another story.

Ah i think i got it, it was a bit confusing...

US only get 1 special edition: "The Collector's Edition", which contains 4 cds.
Europe will get 2 special editions: "The Collector's Edition" with 1 cd & "Crystal Edition" with 4 cds.
Current picture is for Europe, i'll fix that in a moment.

Despite what the discs say in the "US Package" picture, they actually have "FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 Official Soundtrack" printed on them instead, so I changed the official title of this release.

Any reason why my edit was immediately reversed and the title is back to Original Soundtrack? It's definitely Official Soundtrack. Here's a couple pictures of my US Collector's Edition if someone doesn't believe me:

Those are the only two spots on the CE that the soundtrack title is printed.

Must say I'm impressed that such a detailed soundtrack booklet was even included. Composer/arranger breakdown for every track plus all production, performer, musician, soloist, etc. staff credits. Very nice for a US printing.

I'm sure it was just a mistake. Thanks for uploading the scans that confirm the new title.

Europe ver.

I think we should make another reprint for Europe, it's Final Fantasy stuff after all so it will be owned by tons of persons.

Whats the deal with track 21? Is it at the end of the game? Or is it just a bonus track? I have not beaten the game yet. I was just curious because I threw in disc 4 today and listened to it. And track 21 is really, really, really....really good.
