What's the point of this? What's new or different compared to the Original Sound Version?
I remember there was a Xenogears revival disc too, but I seem to remember there wasn't anything noteworthy about it compared to the original release. Last edited by DanteLectro; Jul 21, 2019 at 12:43 PM. |

I think the point is for Square Enix to make some money

And yes, I agree with the term of making money, it's Square Enix after all. But like all revival discs, don't forget it's a Blu-ray disc with video footage next to the audio tracks, which is really neat in terms of memories and nostalgia. And that's new about this releases. Also, with this releases we finally got official English tracklists available (some for the first time I think), which is a really nice bonus in my opinion!

With the only negative that we now have "Icy Chin" as an official title.

10th month of lunar calendar isn't equivalent to 10th month of solar calendar, for that a lunar month should be able to reach 31 days like october what isn't the case since no lunar month goes over 30 days perso, I always used "Kannazuki Mermaid" and none of other localized idiocies |

Thanks for the info.
I've just compared the original 1995 release of Burn Bobonga Burn and Corridor Of Time with this new release and can't positively hear a difference nor see any fidelity improvement on audio graphs (of mp3 rips). Where I can easily hear a difference is in the 2009 release, which sounds like a subtle remake. Last edited by DanteLectro; Jul 22, 2019 at 01:31 PM. |

A plus is that the last reprint of the SNES version is 15 years old, so now you can actually buy it in places (well, in Japan).

But seriously, "June Mermaid" sounds so much better than "October Mermaid" but hell, I tired using the translation SE gave us on my mp3s and I switched back to the old translation relatively quickly. And yeah, "Icy Chin" did have something to do with that. |

Actually no. As I've illustrated in the respective thread the revival disc is an utter hackjob of an upsample. Granted, they managed to increase the DR of some tracks, but then decreased almost as many. The only thing this disc is good for is the four new tracks, nothing else.

Which are the new tracks? I counted 64 tracks in both the '95 original and this but I can't easily compare the track lists because of the changes in the track names.
Oh, I think you meant Xenogears. (?) Last edited by DanteLectro; Jul 22, 2019 at 01:51 PM. |

As for "Icy Chin" ... yeah ... xD. When you're used to a tracklist for years and then suddenly everything changes, and not all for good. Same with "June Mermaid", I'm used to it for years, but in the end it's "October Mermaid"? Wtf.... Last edited by Mac_Tear; Jul 23, 2019 at 12:53 AM. |

Was considering buying the BDs for this and the sequel. Anyone knowledgeable with audio fidelity know how the BDs compare to the original CD releases?
