Sega Japan have updated their SF Neo site today, to announce the release of a Shining Force Neo Soundtrack, to be titled Shining Force Neo Music Collection.
The disc will apparently feature 42 pieces of background music from the game. It will be available from March 30th at the very reasonable price of 1,800 yen (which is around US$18).
It is being released under the Wavemaster label (product code WWCE-0501) and will be up for pre-order at Sega Direct in Japan.
When I babelfished the info, something came up which concerned me:
“In addition, this each time BGM of “Shining Force Neo” was recorded ‘The Shining Force Neo Music Collection’ came to the point of with with 1000 limitations selling with the Sega direct.”
I wonder if this means that there will only be 1000 copies available?
Looking at the Sega Direct site to get a better idea of what’s going on, I notice that the SF Neo DX package seems to have had another item added to it – a ‘Force Frame Necklace‘. The crazy collector in me is starting to give in, and thinking about asking Rei to order the package… I can always give the extras away as contest prizes, or sell ’em.
…and the Sega Direct site confirms the limited availability of the soundtrack:
“Furthermore, because it becomes 1000 limitation productions, as soon as to become without it becomes end. Please order ahead of time.”
I’d best email Rei now. I’m sure if I don’t like the music, someone here’ll want it!
Definately going to need to update the collectables page later 😉
