    Although this CD calls itself an "original soundtrack," it's actually just a compilation of music from previously released Final Fantasy game soundtracks. Unfortunately, so far there is NO official release of the music that was performed at either of the "Dear Friends" concerts held in Los Angeles on May 10, 2004, and in Chicago on Feb. 19, 2005. However, some of the music performed at "Dear Friends" was based on the music that is now collected on this CD, so I suppose in that sense you could call it a soundtrack. The first 17 songs are taken directly from their respective soundtracks.


    Interesting note: When Square Enix had this CD listed on their shop site (it's not there anymore), the description on the page said this CD "contains over 2 hours of original game music." Actually, it doesn't contain even 1 hour worth. Who writes these descriptions?
