I was listening to my Duality OST recently Oblivion (Never let it go) and wonder how many people are still buying these disks given how just for playback I had to go by a Blueray drive lol...
Seriously a lot of the music is awesome but really is on a medium few will ever use and so they only way people will hear it is to go online and listen to it on Youtube.
Money waiting to be claimed by SE there.
THis is a good idea, but sadly not sure it will be possible, as they don't wish to do that.
I noticed they were Blueray, but I was using my Xbox to play them anyways because I don’t have a CD player anymore! lol they really won’t work without a Blueray? I always assumed that was some sort of extra features but the music would still play normally on a regular CD player. Good to know!
And plus one to making them orc rolls… although it would be nice if the price was reduced for those who already bought the hard copy!
I've always thought the FFXIV soundtracks to be a bit of a missed opportunity as well with them only being formatted for BluRay. I imagine the collectors snatch them up right away...I admit for that purpose alone I've thought about buying one before. But as far as actually listening it's not very convenient for me either. I'm in the crowd that hangs around on YouTube listening until they finally dump into a streaming service.
I buy them. I listen to them in my rl house and in my car (they have mp3's you can dl right from the blue-ray disc) plus- for some of these, if you pre-order, you get in game orchestrations you can't get on the store.
I pre-ordered Forge Ahead and The Primals- Beyond The Shadow, but I'd be happy if I could get orchestrations of both for my in-game home.
