Suteki da ne (Instrumental)
Suteki da ne Single, RIKKI (FFX)

Can’t believe my friend doesn’t like this song. I ought to kick her ass. -_-;

Uematsu’s wife didn’t like it, either.

Silly people.

As of right now, the album is not available outside of Japan, technically speaking, and for anyone who doesn’t read Japanese, navigating the Japanese SE site is impossible.

However, the album is available on Amazon Japan as well, and right now, for much cheaper than you will get it from any third party importers or even SE themselves.

I want to make clear before going further that this is not a CD, it is a Blu-Ray disc, meaning unless you have a Blu-Ray player or PS3, you will not be able to play it. 

Also, the disc is Region 1, according to the product description. You will need a Region 1 player.

And keep in mind that though it is a Blu-Ray, it is not a movie of any sort. The name and information of the track playing will be displayed along with the logo of the game which the song comes from will be displayed on the screen as it plays, as shown in this picture. Though, I have just looked at the screen during “Eyes on Me” and they lyrics are showing up, so there is that for songs with lyrics :3 Though there are some slight errors. Wtf SE?

Anyway, on with the ordering guide (and please excuse my shitty cell phone pictures).

First of all, you will probably need to switch the site to English. It’s very easy to do. The link to do so is right above the Search Bar. It is a text link that simply says “In English”. Activating this link makes navigating the site easier, since translation services like Google cannot translate the text on image based buttons.

Next, you must make a new Amazon account with Amazon Japan. Some of you may have ordered from other international Amazon sites before (such and Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon US if you’re outside the US) and found that your account information logged you in just as easily on those as it does your home Amazon. That is not the case with Amazon Japan (believe me, I tried it). There will be a field on the first screen in the account creation, the page in which you enter your name and the password you wish to use, labeled Name Pronunciation. As far as I can tell, this is basically just a place to write your name in Roman characters if your native language uses a different alphabet. You can leave it blank. 

Once you have made your account, you can go straight to the product page and add it to your cart. The process will be exactly the same process as on any other Amazon site.

Standard Edition
Includes: 1 Blu-Ray disc (and likely a standard size lyric booklet)
Current price: ¥ 3,885 (about $45 USD)
List Price: ¥ 5,250 (about $61 USD)

Limited Edition
Includes: 1 Blu-Ray disc, 1 vinyl record, 1 large lyric booklet (Image 2), 1 lovely box to put it all in
Current Price: ¥ 5,723 (about $66 USD)
List Price: ¥ 7,800 (about $91 USD)

Shipping to the US for both items seems to be about $23-24. I wouldn’t outright expect it to be delivered in two days, because like I said before, I think the fact that I pre-ordered prompted them to cut me a deal and ship it via DHL. I have no idea how they ship under normal circumstances. You’ll just have to see what your estimated delivery date is.

For information on track listing, you can see this post by Final Fantasy Things

It’s the 27th. They shipped it two days ago.

I will never underestimate Amazon Japan again.

Though the fact that I preordered it probably has something to do with it getting here so fast.

I am despairing over how uncreative and obvious some of them are

And then I remember that Terra’s password was “flowered tights” instead of half esper or something, and all is well.

One Winged Office: A Sephiroth Song

I just love this xD

Otherwise you will be subject to only fan arrangements and mixes of music from VI and XIII that I happen across in the tags or on my personal/RP dashboards :I

Final Fantasy VI Remix: Tower of Power

A manic electronica track, unsure of its own genre or rhythm. I tried to really capture the insanity of this game’s final villain in his penultimate act. This track received several revisions in its journey toward completion, but the end result is an exciting race through a most challenging dungeon’s score.

#tom hiddleston #should be kefka #in a movie

Omg I thought I was the only one who thought that.

Anyway, dear moogles, I present to you one of my favorite cosplayers ever who also apparently does some pretty awesome mixing, too.

My friend has never played a Final Fantasy game in her life. I had her listen to the vocal arrangement of Music Box to test her French.

That was an hour ago. We just parted ways to go to class and she started humming it, then shouted back at me, “DAMN YOU!”
