Before Meteor and ARR soundtrack discussion

So, yeah, a thread for discussing the music from 1.0 and from A Realm Reborn. What're your thoughts on ARR's music so far? I'm in love with the NM FATE and Levequest themes.

As for Before Meteor...an excellent high-quality soundtrack, would definitely recommend buying. A bit disappointed that there were a few 1.0 tracks missing, though.

(For those interested, the tracks missing are the ones played in these videos (I dunno what the official track titles are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCi1F1OvFSo - Opening Movie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_JX5yG9y04 - Dalamud Reprise of Answers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hpKnmvvgag - The song that plays at 1:20/1:21 to around 3:00

There's also an alternate version of The Dark's Embrace (the dungeon field theme, with the dungeon battle theme being called The Dark's Kiss) with a different intro that was in the game's coding but was never used.)

Hoping that these tracks get an official release at some point!

Was the Before Meteor Soundtrack already released or when is the release date supposed to be? I want one! :(

id love to have the Dalamud version of Answers, it reminded me of This Mortal Coil and the whole 4ad era, i know thatll go over alot of people's heads!

here is the EU version of the OST on the EU SE store site.

the problem however, is no dalmund minion mentioned in the description. i will not order till this is confirmed, i asked in the beta threads, but i had no reply before they were wiped.

The odd thing is that it only seems to show in certain countries. So far I got it confirmed it shows for France, Belgium and Germany, but not for UK, Spain or the Netherlands.

they inspired me to do piano fan arrangements of them!

there's currently 20 in the playlist, but I have a few more from Before the Meteor planned and many more from ARR as the official OST is released :D

Shows up as £39.99 for UK for me

edit:

Just an FYI, on the store for UK people, its under merchandise and not music.

I haven't heard a huge selection of tracks yet, but I loved Naoshi Mizuta in XIII-2, and look forward to what he brings to the table here.

If you're speaking of missing themes in the Before Meteor, I believe I noticed one. Correct me If I'm wrong, but I haven't heard the theme from 'Two Vans is better than One' in the Before Meteor Soundtrack preview.

Thank you sooo much for this! I've been looking to see if the UK one was up every day, and didn't think to look there.
Shame the listing doesn't confirm the Dalamud wind-up minion, but they've previously said it will be included so I'm sure it will be.
