[Pawkeshup]

So FedEx arrived today with my first ever purchased OST for a game. So maybe I might just seemed easily impressed.

The first thing I noticed was how fragging big the box it came in. I just figured overzealous packing was done. But then I pulled out the Brady Games guide-sized boxed set out of the box.

HOLY FREAKIN HELL!

Like I said, maybe I'm just super easy to impress, but the set is GORGEOUS! Here's those pics (Yea, I'm excited lol)

The actual size is about height and width of the Brady games book

Each soundtrack has its own folder inside the sleeve.

Each folder features the original box art of the expansion its from on the outside...

Then features the track listings and ingame shots on the inside

Actually I lied, it's BIGGER than the Brady guide. I got mine out from under the table leg it was propping up for a couple shots:

I want this one soo bad. ;;

I am a huge Piano Collections fan, and when I heard the only was to get it with this OST pack, I was sold. Unfortunatly I don't have the money for it as of now unfortunatly .. But I will get it once I have.

The Piano Collections for FFXI are more simplified than some of the more recent ones like FFX and FFX-2 - they're almost in the style of FFIV-FFVI. This is most likely because you get sheet music with the set as well and they wanted to make the music playable by people who aren't pro pianists.

In the spirit of playing with others there's two piano duets in there too

I have it, it's pretty okay... the piano tracks are not that great, at least compared to other FF piano collections.

Re: lolFFXIOST (Now with 100% more links!)

I think it's worthwhile, I can play some of the Final Fantasy Piano Collection songs, so it'll be worth it just to play the arrangements to me.

Where did you guys buy it? Got any sites that aren't too expensive?

Look for a job.


This is about more than the music, it's about the set. That is some high quality Y.Amano artwork- out of curiousity, is the map of Vana'diel complete? I've seen the 4 panels version in my Dear Friends booklet, but that looks much larger.
