NW10102460: PERFECT COLLECTION Ys I·II Complete Works of RYO YONEMITSU

[Despatche]

Aww, does this not have the THEME OF ADORU arrange? I mean, I'm pretty sure this is just the Ys I・II (PC Engine CD) soundtrack, which is just the Perfect Collections from what I understand (well, the game was first). Give me a minute to go through all this...

It isn't. See:

Most of the PCE-CD soundtracks Ryo Yonemitsu composed for Falcom (Ys I-II, Ys III, LoH I-II) have never been released on CD

And I think there is at least one theme in LOH II that is on the PCE redbook that is not in the Perfect Collection LOH II. There is a fan arrange of Opening 2 in a Woodsoft album (Final Takahashi RX) that I couldn't match up to anything in the Perfect Collection, but which was in the redbook.

Probably Yonemitsu composed that track, like the Opening theme of Ys III PCE.

Aww, should have known. One of these days I've gotta sort all this shit out.

I take it these are actually reprints from KICA-1012 and KICA-1014? Looks like the differences in runtime could be caused by how the contributors' hardware or software displays them.

Metroid adjusted the runtimes of this album's disc 1 and KICA-1012 to be the same, but they didn't do it for disc 2 and KICA-1014.

[Aifread]

Yes, this is a reprint of the first discs of KICA-1012 and KICA-1014 while NW10102470 is a reprint of the second discs. Was probably easier to license that way.

Thanks for clearing that up, I added some links to this page. Someone who has this and the original albums should probably recheck the runtimes and equalise them.
