Wyle 123 Posted June 22, 2012 Glad to hear that they're finally making a soundtrack, but no news on it coming to USA? Is it just me or does it seem to be just a little pricey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zola 3,038 Posted June 23, 2012 I know, right? It was pretty hard to narrow it down to just ten songs. Top thirty would have been difficult, but ten?! Hahah! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Setrex 1,031 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I am surprised that the KH1 version of Dearly Beloved is leading o.O There are better versions in KH2, BbS and 3D.... but of course that is only my opinion. Edited July 4, 2012 by KHSoraKeyBlade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emily Murphy 28 Posted July 4, 2012 I love this list! The only other thing I would want is to replace passion orchesta, and put in either Namine, or Riku's theme. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exlon 165 Posted July 4, 2012 I like most of the picks (I think), but I would've replaced Ventus with, I dunno, Aqua? And maybe put at least one other epic track from BBS, like Rage Awakened, or something. I don't know if I'd spend $43 on 10 songs anyway, so I'll just secretly hope the originals (as in what I already own) are best. By the way, what about KH3D OST for NA? > The Japanese one is already sold out on Play-Asia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roxas_Wagner 174 Posted July 4, 2012 5 that i voted is here Hmm,where is l'impeto oscuro and Forze'dell oscuritta?They are so good! Seriously,KH1 Dearly beloved,why don't take of 3d,kh2 or BBS? Anyway,is awesome this list Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
