Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack is huge, awesome photo

You might have heard about the massive Final Fantasy XIII Original Sound Track packaging, but now we have a better look at it here.

In my near-infinite geekery, I used to have the limited edition soundtracks of every Final Fantasy game available. I had them on a fancy display. One of the most notable was the Final Fantasy VII, which came in a huge box with a metal plate on the front. This new Final Fantasy XIII box isn't as big, but it seems to share some of the grandness of past boxes.

The limited edition box (5,250 yen) comes in a special box, and inside you'll find the four music CDs, a drama CD, and a reworking of the Episode Zero Promise - Encounter - story. A standard box comes with just the four music discs for 3,990 yen.

As the fancy new soundtrack webpage tells us, both CDs go on sale on January 27th of next year.

I really hope that this shows up on Play Asia or something. I really like what I've heard of the soundtrack so far and have been drooling for an OST box set. The drama CD and the Episode Zero reworking will be useless to me but I'm willing to pay extra for a fancy ass box.

.WAV vs a compressed mp3esque type sound file would explain the number of cds versus the actual space on game discs needed.

What is it with the Japanese and their love of game drama CDs? Seriously, even Konami recently started a three-volume drama CD series based on BEATMANIA.

It would be nice if the 360 version has that kind of disk art, reminds me on FF8 and 9's disks.

WTF is with all this multi-disc outrage? During the PSX era, the more discs the game had, the better. My god, you guys sound like you came straight from GameFAQs.

ANYWAY - Total badassery. If the rest of the soundtrack is as good as the battle thing, I'm importing!!

Hell, I'd take that if it were the 360 version. That box looks epic.

I'm definitely getting the soundtrack. Not sure about the more expensive one with drama CDs, though.
