Aug. 2: 2009: I'm currently in the process of reorganizing each section by title. Also, I'm going to eliminate the "Various compilation CDs" section and merge it with the "Jpop/Asian CDs" section.

This game was released as "Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon" in the U.S. for the Nintendo Wii. The soundtrack also includes a yellow slipcase, which you can see in my scan of the cover. (I don't know at this point if the slipcase denotes a limited edition or first pressing.) The vast majority of the music on this album is remixes of other Final Fantasy music.

Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon Series Original Soundtrack
|
Catalog number: SQEX-10134-5 (released 12/24/08)
Full tracklist
-- Buy from Play-Asia
-- Buy from CD Japan
|
This 2-CD set takes songs from two games: "Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon" (released in the U.S. as "Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales" for the Nintendo DS) and "Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon: Majo to Shoujo to Go-nin no Yuusha" (Nintendo DS, unreleased in the U.S. for the moment). The first title translates roughly to "Chocobo and the Magic Picture Book," while the second title translates generally to "The Witch and the Girl and the Five Heroes." Most of the songs from the first "Ehon" game are remixes of Final Fantasy songs, while the "Shoujo" game has a lot more original compositions.
The tracklist printed on the back cover has a few errors in the games that the songs were taken from.

Super Mario RPG original sound version
Catalog number: PSCN-5047-8
Released 3/25/96 by NTT Publishing
This music comes in the battle with Culex, who was apparently called Crystaler in the Japanese version of the game. The first two themes are lifted directly from the FF4 soundtrack, except they're looped twice on the SMRPG soundtrack. The third song is a simple version of the Final Fantasy prelude that I believe was created specifically for this game, but if I had to choose one, it sounds most like the Prelude found on disc 2 of the FF5 soundtrack.
- Disc 2:
7. Tai-KURISUTARAA ikusa (Battle with enemy Crystaler) (2:27)
-- corresponds to "BATORU 2" from FF4
8. KURISUTARAA ikusa de no shouri (Victory over the Crystaler battle)
-- corresponds to "Shouri no FANFAARU" from FF4 (0:49)
9. KURISUTARAA no kaiwai (Crystaler conversation) (1:23)
-- a version of the FF prelude

I'm not too clear on the history of this soundtrack. First of all, there was only a so-called "Premium Soundtrack" released -- there was no "regular" edition. The Premium soundtrack had two CDs, the first with the original in-game versions of the songs and the second with piano arrangements of selected songs, composed and performed by Kenji Ito. CD Japan lists the first pressing as having a bonus CD with extra songs. However, the re-released Premium Soundtrack also seems to include the bonus CD, first pressing or not.
Being that Sword of Mana is a remake of the Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu) for the Game Boy, most of the music from Sword is simply rearranged Adventure tunes.

Orchestral Game Concert CDs
(GEEMU Ongaku CONSAATO)
These were a total of five CDs that consist of orchestrated versions of various video game songs. If you've heard an orchestrated FF song, it's most likely from these CDs. The actual Japanese title is "GEEMU Ongaku KONSAATO" (Game Music Concert), and is even listed as such in English on the CDs. But for some reason, the name "Orchestral Game Concert" has stuck, so that's what I'll refer to them as, also. If you're searching for these on eBay, it's best to enter the search terms "orchestral game."

Square Enix Music Powered CDs
These CDs were given as bonuses in Square Enix's Gangan Magazine. They came in paper sleeves and were attached to the inside of the magazine. There was a small perforated tab across the top that you would rip open to get the CD out. The CDs consist of spoken dialogue (from the few words I can pick up, it sounds like they're talking about SE games and music), various SE game songs, and audio dramas. I do not know if the dialogue was recorded specifically for this CD or if it was broadcast somewhere before being collected on disc. The Final Fantasy songs seem to have been taken directly from their respective soundtracks; I do not know about the non-FF songs.
I would love to know what the heck is going on in the "potion" tracks on each CD. There's always one track titled "Sonna omae no Potion" somewhere on the album. It's of a man and woman talking, and every so often the man says, "High potion!" or "Potion!" and then you hear the sparklyjingle that plays when you use a potion in a game. I find it disturbing especially in vol. 4, when the man actually GIGGLES.

Various bootleg music collections
For more info about bootlegs, click here for my short explanation. There are a lot of such bootleg collections out there, so look out for them. Here are some that I've found:
Final Fantasy VIII ~ Final Fantasy X-2 Singles Collection
K-O Records Trading Co., KO-99044
Full tracklist
|
Includes the main vocal songs from FF8 through FFX-2. The tracklist appears to have been taken in part from the official CD singles that were released for those vocal songs, but it doesn't have all of the songs that were on the Eyes On Me single.
|
Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collection ~Yuna, Rikku, Paine~
Alion International Records, ALCA-8234
Full tracklist
|
Includes all the songs from the 3 CDs in the FFX-2 Vocal Collection, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. 12 songs total, including the karaokes. The picture of the front of the CD that you see in the scan is actually the obi, which covers the entire front; the actual front CD cover is different.
The liner notes simply take the content from each of the FFX-2 Vocal Collection CDs and put it all together into one massive foldout. So on one side are the lyrics in Japanese (kana), pictures and profiles of the singers, and on the other side are the pinups of Yuna, Rikku and Paine. The only thing the liner notes are missing are the info regarding the DVDs that were included in the original Japanese releases.

2000 Latest Anime Songs Best Collection Vol. 11
EverAnime catalog number: NK-035
Full tracklist
|
Contains 16 tracks of music from various anime and games. The tracklist has some typos in the Japanese; for instance, in the Kero-chan song, the katakana for "re" is used instead of the hiragana for "shi." Considering that those two characters look similar, I"m not surprised that someone in Taiwan got it wrong. Anyway, the FF songs are:
1. Melodies of Life (Japanese version): FF9 main theme
2. Melodies of Life (English version)

Melodies Of Life
Wisdom Records: WJP-072
Full tracklist
|
- This 2-disc set has all the songs on the MoL single, plus some other FF9 songs, on Disc A. Disc B has all the songs from the FF 1987-1994 CD.
- The Disc A tracklist has a few bad typos whenever they kept (or tried to keep) the original Japanese. The rest have been translated to English, some of them pretty badly. Also, the songs are wrong -- for example, track 8 says "Fight," but it's not any of the battle music...the music is actually "Vamo' alla flamenco." Also, track 13 is actually "Rufus' welcoming ceremony" from FF7, the remixed version that appeared on the FF9 Soundtrack Plus. I'm not even going to TRY to identify what the other songs are really supposed to be. For a close-up scan of the back cover tracklist, click here.
- The fold-out liner notes have the tracklist; the Japanese and English lyrics to MoL; lyrics to "Galway no sora"; scans of the stickers that came with the MoL single; and the tracklist from the MoL single, including the short profile of Emiko Shiratori. It makes me suspect that they just copied everything they could from the MoL single. Also comes with survey card.

Melodies of Life
Golden Diamond Records: GT-012
Full tracklist
|
Comes in a larger plastic case. This 2-disc set has a big FF9 logo above the MoL title. Disc 1 is the music CD and has the exact same 20 songs as the Wisdom Records' version listed above, errors, funny translations and all. Disc 2 is a VCD, which I can't view so I can't tell what's on it. |
Final Fantasy Sound Collections 1987-2000
Sixstar Musical Publishing: SS201-102053
Full tracklist
|
Comes with slipcase and spine card. On the front of the slipcase is a collage of images from the various FF CDs. Disc 1 has selected music from FF8 and FF9; disc 2 has selected music from FF5-7; and disc 3 has a mixture of music from the other FF CDs, mainly from FF 1987-1994. |
Final Fantasy IX Octagon Collection
Wisdom Records: WF-510 (image taken from some shopping site)
Full tracklist
- This is a pretty impressive bootleg collecting music from all nine games, spanning five discs. It has the by-now familiar FF9 group picture on the front. The ads I've seen say it comes with an "octagon holder." It also includes several remixes under the heading "Final Fantasy Dance Mix" from the F.F. Mix CD.

Best -Bounce & Lovers-
Album by Kumi Koda. As far as I can tell, both the Japan and Hong Kong versions have a music CD and DVD and the playlists seem to be the same.

These albums are kind of tricky. It seems as if both the DVD edition and the regular edition have first pressings with included extras. I do NOT know this for certain, though, as I do not have these CDs, so please do not ask. If you know more about these CDs, please let me know. I will post more details if I have them.
This tracklist applies to all editions.

This album does have a Japanese release, but it does NOT have "real Emotion" on it, which is why I'm not listing it here. The Korean and Hong Kong editions have a lot of extras not found in the original Japanese release. I do not know if the DVD clip of "real Emotion" is the same as the one found on other DVDs.

This is an Avex copy-protected CD. For more about how this copy protection works, click here.
NOTE: These English versions sung by Koda Kumi are NOT the ones found in the domestic FFX-2 game. Koda Kumi wrote her own English versions that are different from the actual in-game songs sung by Jade (from the group Sweetbox), although the lyrics are similar. I really do NOT recommend buying this CD; Kumi's strong accent just completely ruins the songs.

There is also a "Jeuno -Starlight Celebration-" song on the "Unreleased Tracks" CD of the FF11 Premium Soundtrack boxed set. However, I've never listened to the iTunes offering so I can't say for sure if they're the same song.

- Prior to its release, CD Japan said it would have a new version of "Suteki da ne," the theme song of Final Fantasy X. However, it does NOT have such a song; Nobuo Uematsu did write music for one of the songs, but other than that, there seems to be no FF connection. Unless "Suteki" is a hidden track and I haven't found it.

Cellythm is a quartet of four cello players. The tracklist is in English. Included with this CD is a small flyer advertising both the "The Black Mages III: Darkness and Starlight Live" DVD and the "Those Who Distorted" CD. In the corner of the flyer is a proof of purchase that you apparently could send in for some purpose. I can't read the entire flyer so I don't know the details. Here's a scan of the flyer if you want to try translating it. If you do so, please let me know what it says!

Voici Voila: Shizuru Ohtaka Voice Collection
Album of songs by Shizuru Ohtaka.
-- Small note: According to the system of romanization that I use, Ohtaka's name should actually be spelled "Ootaka." However, the CD spells it "Ohtaka." This is similar to Risa Ohki's name.
