Though we here at Video Game Chat prefer to focus on more obscure areas of the video game scene, a rather unique promotion campaign on the part of IGN, for FFXII, deserves special mention, inspired by the upcoming Christmas season.

With the official sountrack for the games set to be released on the same day as the game itself, IGN have decided to go about revealing select information on the sountrack each day, up until the oficial release on Halloween, October 31st.

The countdown started four days ago, with the revealing of the full, folded out cover for the US sountrack, and the 21st showed us the inside artwork. Both can be viewed by scrolling down to the bottom of the page.

The 22th offered us a look at the full tracklist, which is as followed:

By: Marty Chimpants On: 07:47 Oct 24th, 2006 Offline	I just want to hug Nobuo, have you seen him? He's an adorable little japanese man with a mustache! Cuddlepoints for him, definetly. But though Final Fantasy has played a large large role in my gaming life, I quit being an uber fanboy years ago. I know it will be ridicously packed in the game stores, and it'll be sold out for a long time unless I pre-order. And I don't have enough money/time to do that now. Noting the Christmas shopping season, I'll be staying away from all forms of franchises due to rabid shoppers. But I will buy it, eventually. Because I haven't felt this way since FFX (11 was a joke for me. I wasn't going to spend a shietload of money on it -_-) *sigh* I remember when I was at the movie theaters with some of my non-gaming friends, and the trailer for FFXII came out and I spazzmed in my seat and then jumped and wiggled because it looked so cool. They promptly pretened they didn't know me for a few minutes, and then my other friend goes. "Why are there playboy bunnies in this..game?" In which I replied. "I don't know but I love it. <3/throb"

Not as good as Uematsu, for sure, but I doubt that ONE Uematsu track would own the rest of the album. Now, as for the album itself. I am intensely disappointed by the number of songs there. I've come to expect epic, multi-disc soundtracks from FF games, so this just seems very pale in comparison.
By: Marty Chimpants On: 07:49 Oct 24th, 2006 Offline	Disc 3 of the FF9 soundtrack was my favorite :)
By: Seph Stampede On: 07:51 Oct 24th, 2006 Offline	chimeree;5964 Disc 3 of the FF9 soundtrack was my favorite :) That entire album is one of my favourites. And not just game soundtracks... it's like, one of my favourite scores ever. EVER. Off topic note: If Amarant wasn't blue, he'd be black. +1 for you.
By: dilmanator On: 07:52 Oct 24th, 2006 Offline	Oh yes im a fan of Sakimoto... But i mean come on... this is Nobuo... i would worship his dog if i knew its name. He is the sex of game music. Im going to say that track will probably be my favourite of the lot... although the rest will be good And yes i agree... i want 4 disc monster epics I was for some reason expecting the same thing with advent children.. i shouldnt have thou seeing as the movie wouldnt have THAT many tracks on it
By: Marty Chimpants On: 07:52 Oct 24th, 2006 Offline	Yeah definetly, there was something really awesome about it. Especially the opening song, the simple flute melody gives me goosebumps even to this day. @_@

That worked with Melodies of Life, but Eyes on Me was pretty terrible. And that song that played during Tidus and Yuna's omg kiss love lol scene in FFX. chimeree;5970 Yeah definetly, there was something really awesome about it. Especially the opening song, the simple flute melody gives me goosebumps even to this day. @_@ I think that on that entire album, there are maybe 3 songs I don't like.

Orly ?? shame that.... notice how horrible those songs are..... and they only get worse when they dub them with english words :/

Yay for Alexander O. Smith.
