SQEX-10178~82: FINAL FANTASY XIII Original Soundtrack

[Sirusjr]

I read on Kotaku that the 5th disc is a Drama CD in case anyone else was wondering.

That information was added long ago by Cedille.

It was already at the top of the note field after this album was submitted by Xenofan 29A (I just added the very small info after his scoop).

Speaking of the Drama disc, I'll definitely save my money and go for the regular edition as I don't care about the packaging, but I fear that it will lack something else (e.g. liner notes or interviews).

[Mika]

Same here, I couldn't care less about the drama disc, but Hamauzu is always on my radar.

[Ramza]

I'm doing scans of the booklet that comes with the drama CD. It's another 15 pages or so, black and white, full Japanese script.

Does anyone want it on vgmdb? I'm scanning for a friend, but if anyone wants it here I guess I can put in on vgmdb. Just wondering how to label the images.

[Secret Squirrel]

I think there would be some demand for that. "Drama Booklet" perhaps?

[Ramza]

drama booklet it is.

[Raizen1984]

Even though it's not in the booklet, shouldn't Nobuo Uematsu be credited in the composer field for the appearance of the Chocobo Theme?

[Secret Squirrel]

I don't think these titles are anywhere on the drama booklet, are they?

Chapter 01 臨海都市ボーダム郊外・水辺～林の広場
Chapter 02 臨海都市ボーダム郊外・海辺の遊歩道
Chapter 03 臨海都市ボーダム郊外・ライトニングの自宅
Chapter 04 臨海都市ボーダム郊外・下界の異跡
Chapter 05 臨海都市ボーダム郊外・ショッピングモール

Chapter 07 臨海都市ボーダム郊外・ショッピングモール

It's the track information the CD pulled from the internet when it was ripped. I don't read Japanese, so beyond a crude translation, I have no way of verifying the accuracy of the title vs. what's actually on the track.

It does, however, look a bit suspicious with the 5th and 7th track showing the same name.

If someone else can confirm it is correct or not, I'd appreciate it.

[Xenofan 29A]

Those are just the locations for each "scene".

If that's the case, then it's probably legit.

I'd be interested in the translation so I can tag my tracks.

Went to post an update here and saw these, despite being 4 years old, here's some answers

They're listed right before each of the "Chapter nn" separators in the drama book but as Xenofan 29A said...

I wouldn't call these the track titles, "Chapter nn" is what they're called on the index page.

Anyway, back to why I was originally posting -- I went through the drama book and split up the voice actors by track, for anyone who cares:

• M1 Maaya Sakamoto, Yuuji Ueda, Yuu Asakawa, Wataru Hatano, Minako Kotobuki, Kenji Takahashi, Daisuke Ono
• M2 Minako Kotobuki, Biichi Sato, Daisuke Ono, Makoto Naruse
• M3 Maaya Sakamoto, Minako Kotobuki, Miru Hitotsuyanagi
• M4 Daisuke Ono, Minako Kotobuki, Maaya Sakamoto
• M5 Kenji Takahashi, Maaya Sakamoto, Masao Komaya, Komina Matsushita, Yuuki Kaji
• M6 Mabuki Andou, Yukari Fukui, Minako Kotobuki
• M7 Yuuji Ueda, Maaya Sakamoto, Miru Hitotsuyanagi

Also updated the album info to "Lieutenant Amodar", it may have been his name wasn't known when the album was put in or something.

Has anyone noticed that the "Digipak Front (with slipcase)" scan seems to be "backwards"? In all the unboxing videos and photos I've seen, the text is on the right and reads top-to-bottom. (In this scan, the text is on the left and reads bottom-to-top.) i.e., the digipak is inserted into the transparent slipcase upside down.

[Blaqthourne]

I renamed the booklet page images to be consistent with what I've seen across the site.

Regarding the slipcase orientation, one of the ad inserts I've uploaded scans of does show it with the text on the right. This orientation does make sense as the text would be over a solid white background. Since I opened my copy a long time ago, I don't remember how it was originally oriented.

The slipcase is backwards on this website. I just got the limited edition the slipcase is currect. The logo is supposed to be on the right. If the logo is on the left then the SQEX will be up side down. This confusion might be due to the drama CD’s logo being on the left. Can you reupload your image at a high Quality? Maybe you could name it slipcase B.

[Blaqthourne]

Trusting Jorje15, I've uploaded a scan of the digipack in the slipcase with the printing on the right side (also matching the image on "Insert 2"). Unfortunately, the coloring is a bit washed out on my scan. Keep whichever image you want.
