Anyone interested in a free Final Fantasy IX OST?

[Mr Azar]

I have an extra unopened (sealed) copy of the Final Fantasy IX soundtrack.

I'll have to do something with it. I'd rather give it away to someone that could use it (collection purposes, for listening, or whatever) and no one around here that I know of is a Final Fantasy or video game music fan.

I'm willing to ship it anywhere in the continental United States.

Why am I doing this? In the past, strangers on the internet showed me kindness by sending me stuff (a guy from the states sent me the Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition disc for the Gamecube, and another guy in France sent me brass dice plus some canned Orangina).

Anyways, please tell me why you think you deserve it.

[Jakesnke17]

I can't say I'm a huge fan...but as far as collection purposes go, I'm always interested in any video game memorabilia. So, if no one else responds to this...or you are just feeling generous, feel free to send it to me. :P

Ok, I'll say I'm a fan of some of the Final Fantasy games...that includes FF: I, IV, VI, VII, VIII, and X.

I'm saying that, because those are the only ones I've played. But, if I ever got the opportunity to play IX, I might just consider it.

[Mr Azar]

It's pretty good, and last time I checked, still going for about $19.99.

[Meteo Xavier]

I'll take it. How much is Shipping and Handling?

[Harmonious Dissonance]

Ehh... I was too slow... Otherwise i would have taken it...

[Mr Azar]

I will be paying for shipping.

And this is not "first come, first serve" (a lot of people have responded). It'll be a little while before i'm ready to send it out.

[Jakesnke17]

Alright then, well, thanks for the info...I mean, I don't know when I'll have the time to play Final Fantasy IX...but, I do know that the music from it is amazing...actually, I just listened to some tracks from the CD. Good stuff.

$19.99...geez, I guess I should get that, huh?

I'll look into it more, thanks man.

[Arek the Absolute]

I am Arek the Absolute.

That should be good enough reason to send it my way.

[Meteo Xavier]

Well I am Meteo X

I wear bold like a condom!

I am also an Ocremixer, so I > U.

[Caster13]

I haven't played the game myself but I've heard a bit of the music and enjoyed. Really, though, I'd give it to my girlfriend who's a bigger fan than I am.

Thing is, I'm in Ontario, Canada. If you'd consider giving it to me, I'd be willing to help pay for shipping in that case.

[Arek the Absolute]

so I > U.

only in your dreams

[Mr Azar]

Huh. That was an odd glitch.

[Theory of N]

I'll take it! I've been wanting it for a while, but seeing as I don't own a credit card (or hardly any money), that makes it very difficult for me to obtain most of these things that I want. They just happened to be selling the FFX OST at comic-con, so I managed to pick up a copy of that, which was nice. But back to the situation at hand, PLEASE send that my way. I would love you long time.

[Bahamut]

Aw, I would've taken it :-( . Just beat that game like 3 days ago too.

[linkspast]

Ill play it at work. Where I can share the goodness to hundreds of people each day.
this is where I work

[Equinox]

If you're selling it for a reasonable price I'd buy it now. Let me know.

[SynthesizedStampede]

Damn, if not for linkspast I was going to say "because I live the closest".

[Lyrai]

Is it too late to try and claim it? I've been trying to expand my actual CD collection, but being jobless, dentist bills, and having to pay for meds are crimping that, hard.

[linkspast]

Damn, if not for linkspast I was going to say "because I live the closest".

Shoot.. I did not even know how close I was.

So Ill play it at work, and if you happen to come in to Salem, Ill buy you something at the restaurant I work at

[CHIPP Damage]

Mr. Azar, I applaud you. It's not often that you find someone who would just give something like an unopened multi-disc FFIX soundtrack to another as a gift. You inspire me. Try your best to give it to the person you think will be able to appreciate it the most. You made my night.

Good luck to all of the "applicants."

[atmuh]

woah now

a ff9 ost are you kidding that is my favorite game ost ever and i just got let in back here that would be the best welcome back present ever i dont even care id pay you for it whatever you wanted

im actually playing through the game again now and rofl for a while my name on steam was princess garnet til alexandros

[Hyperion5182]

You are going to get a lot of intrest. The fact of the matter is that this is a truly kind thing you are doing. This soundtrack is not the easiest to find on american shores. I would love to add this to my growing collection of music. The game is among my personal favorites and has possibly the best story of the FF series to date. Six is a close run but nine edges it with its sick finale.

I wont go and say that i deserve it but i would like it for the simple fact that it is a well composed OST.

I hope whoever gets this package appreciates it. I know i would.

[Mr Azar]

I must admit, the choice has become very difficult to make :oops:.

[Meteo Xavier]

Usually these things ARE first come, first serve without details on a contest.

[ambinate]

I think FFIX was the first Final Fantasy I actually finished back when it first came out. It's still one of my favorite games. Awesome, underappreciated soundtrack. The medieval influence is really cool, and the references to the scores from the 2D games (like the wicked retro battle music) are a great touch.

This is an awesome thing to do for someone!

[linkspast]

You ever decide on a winner?

[Mr Azar]

I haven't decided yet. PMs and IMs included, over fifty people have contacted me.

[Lyrai]

OOOH OOH. PICK ME. PICK ME. OOOH OOH. COME ON PICK ME. PICK ME. OOOH OOOH OOOH OOOH OOOH OOOH OOOH COME ON PICK ME.


There was one kid in my elementry school who always did that. Right up until he broke his chair doing it and busted his head open on the desk behind him.

[Cecilff2]

I'll take the case!(And the music!)

I've played FF1-10. As a couple others have said, I'd place FFIX in at least 1st or 2nd place in the FF series. It actually had a good fleshing out of all the characters(Best I've seen in the series). I love 4 to death but recently did a completion run of IX and remembered all the awesome music in it. In fact music-wise I'd say this one gets first place.(How can you beat Kuja's apocalyptic "We Will Rock You" boss theme?) Qu's Marsh(and the frog catching), Hunter Chance, The battle and boss theme, Loss of Me(Beatrix's theme), the Iifa tree(I had fogotten how awesome this one was too), You're Not Alone, I can't even think of a song that was even close to mediocre.

[Meteo Xavier]

I'll take the case!(And the music!)

Dude, there's like a million people in front of you...

[Schwaltzvald]

I could always trade ya anything you can't find or get your hands on for the CD Azar. I'm always ready for a fair trade and heck if I can, more or less, compile Hyadain's stuff for all I'm sure I can find something for ya :3

[Meteo Xavier]

Does anyone else spot the irony of a bunch of people rushing, each one more desperate than the last, to go so far as to offer trade and MONEY to get something for FREE?

Well, I'm not sure if its irony, but its still lawl.

[Schwaltzvald]

I'm not losing cash either way, not to mention even if I didn't get the cd I'd still offer something. No sense keeping the "wealth" all to myself. Why else would I compile those hyadain tracks..? :lol:

[Cecilff2]

Does anyone else spot the irony of a bunch of people rushing, each one more desperate than the last, to go so far as to offer trade and MONEY to get something for FREE?

Well, I'm not sure if its irony, but its still lawl.

I think I've spotted the most desperate one that's unwilling to pay anything. :tomatoface:


I think you should hold on to this actually, Mr Azar, and give it to whoever starts and finishes an OCR FFIX project. Because it seriously needs more loving.

[Meteo Xavier]

I think I've spotted the most desperate one that's unwilling to pay anything. :tomatoface:

Well, yeah. Its supposed to be free...

[Brandon Strader]

My goodness man, I know it has already been too late and it's probably already shipped and in someone's hands. But WOW. I can't even describe the level of charity involved here. Final Fantasy IX is some of Uematsu's most brilliant work in the Final Fantasy series. I was actually hoping they would port IX to the XBLA, I know the chances are slim but they did VII for the PSN so you never know. But anyway, yeah, congrats to the person who got it. :) Enjoy it, is all I can say. :)

[Meteo Xavier]

Yeah. No matter what happens, the TC should be considered legendary for this charity.

[Brandon Strader]

He's probably going to come to his senses and keep it. Because honestly. If you have 2 gold bricks, you're not going to be like "Hey, anyone want a free gold brick? I've got one too many."

Yes, I compared the soundtrack to a gold brick.

At any rate, I'll probably try to download this thing if I can find it.... a Final Fantasy IX album project might be a decent thing to tackle next year sometime. I would totally be up for that.

[Schwaltzvald]

I'll probably try to download this thing if I can find it...

It's not that difficult to find, as the real difficulty comes around when others harp on you on the ethics of obtaining a "downloadable" copy of the soundtrack and having to ignore them with gusto. :lol:

[Brandon Strader]

If it weren't for downloading, I never would have flourished on the internet. I'd probably be a librarian right now. So they can think about THAT.

[Meteo Xavier]

So what did we decide? Whats happening to the FREE OST?

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Dang! I wish I saw this thread a lot sooner. I LOVE FFIX and it's music! Ugh! lol

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Aw, I would've taken it :-( . Just beat that game like 3 days ago too.

You just beat it for the first time a few days ago?! SHAME ON YOU! I beat it when I was 16 :P I'm 25 now. haha

[Mr Azar]

Sorry guys, I lost my internet connection during late Friday evening. I haven't forgotten!

[Gollgagh]

so who'd you send it to

cause if you haven't chosen anyone yet, I'd like to add my name to the pot

[Abadoss]

I would as well...

[linkspast]

Its too late. Because he is already sending it my way.. and Ill get him the hook up if he comes by the restaurant I work at.

[Meteo Xavier]

I don't know how I feel about this topic. I know I shouldn't complain, but man, what was the point here?

[Darklink42]

Wow, I didn't see this until just now, but I'd like to throw my name in too, if it's still up for grabs.
