PCCG-00613: FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES Original Soundtrack
Does anyone have a first pressing of this where the liquid in the slipcase is still... well, liquid? In my copy it turned to a white(ish) solid long ago

Mine turned solid long ago as well. Don't think it turned white though. I haven't looked at it in a few years though.

Mine is like that as well. As I recall, if you apply enough heat (e.g. from a light-bulb) onto the surface it'll turn liquid again for a short time.

In the liner notes of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles -Echoes of Time- Original Soundtrack Kumi Tanioka says "In the first Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, I let synthesizer operator Hidenori Iwasaki arrange the rhythm parts almost entirely."
So then Hidenori Iwasaki should be credited as an arranger for the OST in it's entirety in the notes section, right? |

Minoru Akao really outdid himself with the sound programming here. Granted, this is using live instruments in parts, but it's mostly sequenced music. It has an incredible warmth and an organic sound to it that was still rather unusual to hear on Nintendo hardware back then.

You should also praise synthesizer programmer Hidenori Iwasaki, who begged the game's main programmer to give them as much memory dedicated to music as possible, and who spent days and nights transforming all recordings with Roba House into samples small enough to fit into this memory without sacrificing too much quality—not to mention he also arranged all rhythm sections!

I loooove Hidenori Iwasaki. Unsung SEM hero, in my mind.

I wondered if I should name Iwasaki too. To be honest, I suspected he played a part but had no idea he was so deeply involved with the samples. I've never read the liner notes or any interviews of his on the game.
It's no surprise he was promoted to main composer on Crystal Bearers even though he went in a completely different direction for that game. Come to think of it, it's odd that they established such a strong musical identity with FFCC, only to immediately abandon it with the DS sequel Ring of Fates. |

Fun fact: Uematsu also tried to have Roba House on Final Fantasy IX, but they also turned him down. So when he heard they convinced them for FFCC, he was impressed. Quote:
Tanioka decided to change her approach for Ring of Fates because she was told by the development team that the world and scenario would be darker than the original title. |
