Pretty sure they've said you can upgrade the physical to the deluxe...?

This is true. The Digital Deluxe upgrade is on the eShop.

Holy hell! I may have spent the last 7 hours playing and I've only just gotten to FF 9. (Going by release order, so Mystic Quest and Tactics is done, but I skipped over the 7 spin-offs and remake)

Someone help me!

Not keen on the game reverting to the short version of Dancing Mad and One-Winged Angel though. That sucks.

Great, the Advent Children version of One Winged Angel is still it's massive 6 minute version. So now I'm completely flummoxed on why everything else seems to have been shortened to 2 minutes.

I'm up to Dissidia now (past the 2005 mark).

Wonderful, wonderful game.

Currently working through Final Fantasy 7 remake. Went through the series in order except for the first one where they locked you to the demo series So I started with Final Fantasy 2 then did 1. Got 2 "All Critical" so far and most of the songs are perfeect chains. Doing it all on the basic score then moving up to Expert when they're done.

Been failing most of the quests because I switch out to the new characters every time i start a series so they're underleveled. I'll go back once I unlock endless mode at the end and work my way through the failed quests with a stronger party.

Great minds, I've been doing the same. Just feels right. Although, I might be going overkill, because I only use characters that match the game they're from. Which led to the awkward realisation that I couldn't kill anything in Mystic Quest because I only had Benjamin in the party for those songs.

First one down. Got one more quest ot do in X-2 and that will be done too.

Didn't you have to pay them to take yours?

How do you think I know?

If I had to choose 4 songs from Live A Live, I probably would've gone with the ones they chose here. Of course, I would've preferred it if they all were the HD-2D versions, but eh...

4 isn't enough though. I can think of three more that should be here.

World Ends With You songs are now out.

3 from the first game, 3 from the sequel.

I recognise the final boss music of NEO from the title and that is a very fine choice!

EDIT: It's the full version! Even better! There is one song that I probably would've swapped in NEO. It's not bad, but that game has better options.

Good pack.

DOUBLE EDIT: OK, no. I do have some misgivings with "Calling". It's half the length then it was in Curtain Call and it doesn't have the Tokyo backdrop. Which is just wrong.

It's made me realise that all the field music in DLC songs don't have unique backgrounds. It wasn't as noticeable with Live A Live and Romancing Saga, but it's very noticeable here.
