Disappointed with the sound quality,

This review is from: Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack Limited Edition (Audio CD)
I buy a lot of OST for games and anime. As a Limited Set, it is OK but too expensive. It comes in a nice large white box with a big XIII on the front. It also includes a drama disc (sealed in a foil bag no less), mini-artbook, and the large 4 CD fold-out set. The CD has Bilingual Japanese/English track names. The mini-artbook is all Japanese (except for the credits in English, go figure). I have a beef with the artbook being just stapled sheets. I figure for this price they could make it a hard-bound artbook like that included with Mass Effect 2's Collector's Edition. But not to be, it's just paper.
I am very disappointed with the sound quality of this set. This goes for most of the piano and orchestral pieces. They all sound "tinny" with lots of clipping on the piano sections. This makes me very sad, because those are some of the best pieces in the whole set! And to make the recording so bad, makes my sound system sound like a cheap radio, like an mp3...Read more

Perfect,

This review is from: Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I have read reviews both for this soundtrack and for the collector's edition. The C.E. reviews spoke of scratchy or static sounds being in the music, kind of like an old record player or radio. While I admit I have not listened to every minute of every track(yet), I have listened to at least part of every track, and everything I heard was PERFECT. So if you want an FFXIII soundtrack that sounds just beautiful, get this wonderful standard version instead of the collector's edition! 2 more things:I myself can't complain about the packaging(the plastic was thicker & the tape more sticky, maybe because it's from Japan?), and finally, this is certainly my favorite soundtrack of the series, quite wonderful and beautiful!

I really enjoy playing FF XIII and the music is wonderful so I thought I would buy the cd. It is a 4 disc collection. I WAS going to purchase the collector's edition but this one is cheaper and has the same songs on it so why bother with the 80$ one lol. This is a must for final fantasy lovers!
