Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack

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!

This is the 2nd Final Fantasy soundtrack I have and I gotta say its awesome. (It still does not beat Final Fantasy VII in my opinion) From the battle theme to the final boss theme is awesome. And of course the song that plays when your riding a chocobo (i think that is how you spell it?) fits the birds. When I listen to the soundtrack I play the game as well with the volume muted so I can just listen to the music only.
