Mitsuda to Rearrange & Orchestrate Xenogears

[Kodokami]

Seems like he'll never finish that Cross arrange

Yeah, I wonder what happened to that.

Listen to those tunes! Is that Bonds of Sea and Fire I hear?

Also, what is he saying...?

[chi_z]

beat me to it kudo. yea I wish there were subtitles. I really don't think what he was saying was all that important though, probably just talking about the recording process itself.

"Omen" sounds as if it'll be heavenly. I can't wait to see what Mitsuda & co. will do with Chrono Cross Arrange. Well, I guess we have no choice but to wait, huh?

February 23, 2011. I am a bit saddened to see that date, as it has been less than year since Mitsuda began this arrangement, while his first announcement of the Chrono Cross arrange was in 2005. Either he is simply not as interested in CC as we hope ... or he is pouring his heart and soul into what is now a five year project. I can imagine it being the latter.

Regardless, I am still surprised at the speed in which the Xenogears arrange is being released. Can't wait to hear it.

From Mitsuda's Facebook page: "According to Mitsuda's greetings to its French-speaking fans, the Chrono Cross Arranged Album may be released this year."

Chrono Cross!

FUCK YEAH!

Has an amazing, fuckin' awesome soundtrack!

Chrono Cross!

FUCK YEAH!

Yasunori is the only way, yeah!

...Yeah, that was kinda spontaneous. But still.

[tushantin]

FUCK YEAH!! Need to be spontaneous and loud, bro!

I just wish they sold that CD here. Most of stuff like Mythos, Secret Garden, game soundtracks like Chrono Trigger/Cross are never seen where I live.

[Kodokami]

Exciting, isn't it?

By the way, I have never seen video game OSTs sold in stores. I guess they don't appeal to as many audiences. So you could always try buying them off the Internet like I do.

By the way, I have never seen video game OSTs sold in stores.

It does happen from time to time, at least in North America. Particularly when an OST is licensed for distribution by a publisher that is based in North America. This is called the "domestic" release of an import soundtrack. Often it will have different album art (with English text), and sometimes even a different tracklist.

But for something like MYTH, online will be the only option. tushantin, you have the internet, and therefore have a way to get the album. Off the top of my head there will probably be at least five online retailers that will carry this album, all of which ship internationally.
