Liontamer Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Pre-order: http://www.eminenceonline.com/store/soulcaliburv.html It's got a pretty awesome lineup of composers through Creative Intelligence Arts (that I, in no way, shape, or form, had any hand in ) If you caught me Easter egg'ed in Kotaku's Booth Babes of Tokyo Game Show piece, that's because I was promoting this upcoming soundtrack. For you OCR folks, the soundtrack's got both Andy and Jill on there with some epic music, and it's got friends of OCR Hiroki Kikuta, Hiroaki Yura and 18-year-old (way too good at muzak) Tomoki Miyoshi in there, live performance from the Eminence Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Choir, and tons of other awesome composers. Hit the pre-order page to lock in for the album now. PayPal will automatically handle the conversion to Yen, so if you have the dollas to pop for an international soundtrack, definitely get it!

BardicKnowledge Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I wish I had the budget to afford this, but $60 + import fees on top of that is going to put this one out of range for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 That was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I did it anyways. The music will be worth it, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanized_Angel Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I wish I had the budget to afford this, but $60 + import fees on top of that is going to put this one out of range for me. I thought the soundtrack came with the game if you pre-ordered the collector's edition? I wonder if the soundtrack with the game is a shortened version...Cause if I were you I'd just shoot for the CE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 From an article I just read RIGHT THIS MOMENT! There are some big names working on the title including Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana, countless eroge titles), Cris Velasco (God of War, Darksiders), Inon Zur (Dragon Age, Crysis), and Andrew "zircon" Aversa of OverClocked ReMix fame along with franchise veteran Junichi Nakatsuru who's acting as audio director Nice work. I trust this is new and not something you told us a while ago, but I didn't hear it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonamer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Don't forget that our very own Jillian Aversa is also featured on the soundtrack. I'm pretty Sure Larry Oji posted this a while ago. Still, it's great to see some of our ReMixers move beyond the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Huzzah! T-minus 27 days to release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
