Tokyopop announces Final Fantasy soundtrack compilations

[09.20.01] » One collection each for NES/SNES and PSone.

   Tokyopop Soundtrax today announced two Final Fantasy soundtrack compilations: Final Fantasy N Generation and Final Fantasy S Generation, which taken together will span the entire history of the series from I to IX. The N and S stand for Nintendo and Sony respectively; N Generation is essentially a U.S. release of Final Fantasy 1987-1994, covering the six NES and SNES games, while S Generation draws on the soundtracks of the three PSone games. What's more, the compilations are not of the original game music but of arranged songs taken from the several orchestrated albums which were unreleased in the U.S.

   Both volumes will go on sale concurrently with the video release of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within on October 23, and will retail for $14.98 each. The complete track listing is:
