I have the FF XIII-2 Collectors Edition that comes with the 4 CD soundtrack. As for me I think it's a hilariously fun and self-aware tribute. You can hate the vocals, fine, but the in-your-face guitar and double-bass-pedal drums make the song a hell of a lot of fun. This soundtrack deserves all the praise I've heard for it, and I have huge respect for S-E packaging the entire four disc soundtrack with the collector's edition instead of throwing a shitty "best-of" one disc release at us (as was their usual deal in the past).Īlso, f*ck the haters, Crazy Chocobo really isn't that bad. When she sings "Hunting, searching for futures I've dreamed" and she does that vibrato hold on "dreamed". Especially the full track by KOKIA, she's just amazing

I also liked the vocal songs quite a lot. I left the fourth disc on repeat once I reached it. I think it has the best staff roll of all time.
