    Tracklist
    Buy Square Enix version from CD Japan
    Buy AWR version from Amazon.com



    Orchestrated versions of various FF tunes, from FF1 to FF11 (except FF5 and FF10), performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. For more information on the concert, visit the official website.


    AWR version: The liner notes have the tracklist in English; a photo and message from Nobuo Uematsu; profiles of the Philharmonic Orchestra and the Allmänna Sången choir; and a photo and message from Arnie Roth. Everything is in English.

    Square Enix version: The liner notes include all the content as the AWR version, with a few additions and changes. First, everything except the credits is in Japanese (kana), including the tracklist, the messages from Uematsu and Roth, and the descriptions of the orchestra and choir. Some credits for CD production have been added (they're all Japanese names, so I'm assuming this was the localization team for Japan), while the "special thanks" line that was in the AWR version was deleted from the Square Enix version. The liner notes also include 4 pages of various artwork representing each of the FF games from FF1 to 11, excluding FF5 and FF10; the artwork is a mixture of hand-drawn art by Yoshitaka Amano and CGI art and game screenshots. And, the Distant Worlds URL printed undernearth the clear CD tray is in all caps, and the logo and CD title on the left side under the CD tray are smaller than the AWR version. Also comes with a Square Enix point card.
