FPBD-0005: Wizardry Gaiden ~Prisoners of the Battles & Five Ordeals~ Audio Collection

Just a note that a recent edit changed the composer of track 23 from Masaharu Iwata to Kenichi Koyano.

[Chris]

I think that's a bad edit. Yes, Kenichi Koyano is the arranger, but Masaharu Iwata is the composer of the source material.

[Dais]

103 minutes? my goodness, they are certainly packing them full these days.

[Chris]

Yeah, track times seem wrong too, at least compared to what I have.

[Gigablah]

I corrected the tracktimes to those from freedbtest.

[Dais]

While it occurs to me - is there any way to scan the database for albums which have an improbable track time (ie, over 78 minutes or so for a disc)? I'm not suggesting it as a general user feature, but if any admin could make that search every month or so, it could help weed out radically wrong track times or incorrectly marked digitally distributed albums.

21 is the track in question, and while 5pb Records does list Koyano as the composer I guess the track is dubbed "Prisoners of the Battles Arrange Ver." for a reason. Can anyone confirm it's relation to that soundtrack?

[Secret Squirrel]

Oops, sorry. Yeah, it's track 21 not track 23.

[Chris]

It's definitely an arranged version of Masaharu Iwata's main theme on track 1.

[Secret Squirrel]

Thanks, Chris. I've rolled back the edit.

[Secret Squirrel]

So as per a recent edit, what did Etsuji Ogawa perform?

[Cedille]

He performed the rock tracks. For a quick reference, check his website　(...it's ＷｉｚａｔｄｒｙＦｉｖｅＴｒｄｅａｌｓ, though).

Here's an interview with Kaneda & Iwata regarding this soundtrack: http://www.gpara.com/contents/interv...0714/index.php

Would be cool to see an English translation.

- Added engineers from inserts
- Rewrote album info from inserts (including the misappropriation of composition for M21 to Koyano)
- Added a note about track 21 not really being composed by Koyano with some supporting information from the interview in the inserts.

Is there a reason "platforms represented" only has PS2 and not PC? Does the PS2 port have different music?

I don't think Five Ordeals was released on the PS2, so PC should be included in any case.
