SSCX-10038: Parasite Eve II ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

[Xenofan 29A]

Can someone upload full scans of the booklet? I would especially appreciate it if there are substantial liner notes.

I don't know if it's the same booklet, but we got scans from the US version of the album.

Now it would be interesting to have a set of scans if it's a different one.

I noticed that, but the American print doesn't have any liner notes whatsoever. I'm pretty sure that the booklet for the Japanese version will be different. Almost every Square release had liner notes of some kind. And looking at the Tokyopop print of the Bouncer soundtrack, you can see that it doesn't have any liner notes. The Digicube one had an interview with the composers and the vocalist.

Thanks for the scans! It's too bad the liner notes are so insubstantial, but look for a translation in the near future.

There are several tracks missing, probably due to running out of disc space and presumably not having enough budget for a third CD. Most of these are short non-looped streamed tracks that play during events. These are, in rough order of appearance:

• Prologue (streamed, FMV)
• Boss Stranger's transformation (streamed, FMV)
• Boss Stranger gets back up (streamed, in-game)
• Rupert kills Boss Stranger (streamed, in-game)
• No. 9 appears in Akropolis Tower (sequenced, in-game)
• Rupert after being attacked (sequenced, in-game)
• No. 9 defeated in Akropolis Tower (sequenced, in-game)
• No. 9 defeated in Dryfield (streamed, in-game)
• Eve Brea escapes (streamed, in-game)
• Eve Brea enters shelter (streamed, in-game)
• Burner appears (streamed, in-game)
• Monsters in Dryfield (streamed, FMV)
• Aya gets no answer (streamed, in-game)
• Aya reunites with Eve Brea (streamed, FMV)
• No. 9 appears in Neo Ark (sequenced, in-game)
• MIST fights Golems (streamed, FMV)
• No. 9 appears in Shelter (sequenced, in-game)
• Eve's death (streamed, in-game)
• A track using the motif from "Gentle Rays" (sequenced, unused?)

All in all, that's about 19 missing tracks. I think I've identified them all, but not to rule out I've missed a few more. There are also some variations like two boss themes without the repeating arpeggio motif, as well as missing pieces of ambience, but those seem to be more akin to background SFX unlike the ambient tracks here, so I didn't bother to list those.
