Physical Heavensward OST instead of itunes?

[BristolRuss]

I didn't know they offered FFXIV's various sound tracks over iTunes. This sounds so much more reasonable than distributing it on Blu-Ray. The only Blu-Ray devices I have are the PS3 and PS4. Not ideal machines for music. And no way of getting the songs off those onto my iPhone.

You actually can get the songs off of the Blu Ray, even if using a console. There is an option on the Disc you can select which will display a URL (it's the consoles local IP Address I believe), on your PC (assuming it is on the same network as the console) enter the URL into your browser and you will get a list of the tracks which you can then download. This is also the only way to access to hidden track on the disc, which you can't access by simply playing it.

So I noticed they released Dragonsong sung by Susan Calloway (love her!) on this mini soundtrack which is all fine and dandy, but what about Answers?? I've been waiting forever for SE to release Answers and still nothing... but here I get Dragonsong without even having to bat an eye... needless to say I'm a little frustrated...

Answers was released on the "Before Meteor" disc.

Really? Because I don't see it on the track list... was it a hidden/bonus song?

Look at the last song, for some reason it was put as the last song.

Ah yes, I see it now... thanks!

We were told previously that the songs would be released in mp3 format before the disc version becomes available, so it shouldn't really be a surprise.

Yeah they have said digital release first before getting a physical release later down the line.

Greetings!

Soken had commented on this during the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIII:

Q: When will you sell a soundtrack with the music added in Patch 3.0?

A: Yoshida: It might be the death of Soken.

Soken: Our plan is to first sell it digitally, and once a bit of time passes from that we will release a higher quality version on disc. We’d like to start the digital sales around the time of Tokyo Game Show 2015.

So as mentioned, these are just the first steps to be able to make some of the music available while also working on a disc-based version for a future release!

Obligatory PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT. I figure that, like the ARR soundtrack, they might wait until the x.1 patch until finally compiling it into hard copy. It makes sense.

I know this is more a company-wide concern than a FFXIV-only concern, but could the powers that be please look into a wider distribution than just USA/Britain/Japan for products like this in the future? (I want to give you money; why do you refuse my Aussie dollars, Square?!)
