Credit for ripping, goes to someone named Nokutisu. So I’m only a middleman.
And I really can’t wait for this score, Hamauzu is fantastic composer:). But even more I wanna hear FF Versus XIII:).
Thanks!
This one you shared with us through those links, includes the 4 tracks of one of the other recordings I’ve (so the credit for this is more to Andrew Evenstar than Nokutisu) but it also includes 2 recordings of 2 other songs but at better quality and two bonus tracks that as you said, may be from video recordings not related to the demo/trial disc.
I even know a 4th recording (but that one is just of 2 tracks) that have the best quality for the Boss & Battle songs, but not the other 2 tracks… so I really hope that a serious person in audio do a 5.1 or 7.1 audio codification to lossless format through optical link, all as a single "release" with CRC codes, as the FINAL FANTASY XIII Trial Disc deserves.
Thanks for the link mate, really.
Wow, I love the battle theme. Does this composer have any more notable work with square or any other RPGs?
One of the better examples I may give you is his work in FINAL FANTASY X with Junya Nakano and Nobuo Uematsu. Priceless.
His name is Masashi Hamauzu, and he’s probably most well known for composing SaGa Frontier 2, Unlimited Saga, and FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus, as well as contributing to FFX, as Aero mentioned.
So far, the music in the demo reminds me a lot of Dirge of Cerberus, which is a good thing IMO since DoC had an excellent soundtrack. In particular, the battle themes in DoC were top notch, and so far it looks like FFXIII’s will follow suit.
Im looking forward to a point in the future when we can listen to the rest.
http://rapidshare.com/files/224842039/Final_Fantasy_XIII_Demo_Tracks.zip.html my upload of the same file but i’m a premmy 😉
Tracklist:
01 – Main Menu
02 – Beginning of the End (Opening Movie)
03 – Boss Battle
04 – Battle Theme (Full Version)
05 – Underworld (Hanged Edge – Restricted Area)
06 – Battle Theme (Abridged Version)
07 – Purge (Cutscene)
08 – Patriotic (Hanged Edge – Resistance Front)
The first two tracks are ripped from the Japanese website (better quality and to avoid sound effects during the opening movie), and everything else is from the demo, utilizing the pause screen to remove sound effects and background ambience (which is how I was able to get the cutscene music). Tracks 3-8 all loop and fade out properly. The only things missing are the trailer that plays before the main menu and the music from the ending CG cutscene, as they can’t be ripped without significant sound effects.
The tracks are numbered according to the order they first appear in the demo, and the titles are based off in-game dialogue.
Enjoy!
Could you please re-upload? None of the links are functioning.

Um…they’re all working for me, except for the limited download Rapidshare link in the first post, of course.
Anyway, here are some new links, just in case. Please note that this is an updated edit of my original rip. I felt some of the tracks were too long, so I shortened things up a little.

I’m getting used to the Boss Battle theme quite quickly. I think it’ll fit greatly those battles in the game. I really hope a good soundtrack like the one for Final Fantasy X, since for me it does more than the 50% for the game. Purge (Cutscene), may be a proof of that quality =]
Thanks Lian_Kazairl for your work.
Ill have to check this out <3 Since I was probably the few who didnt get to play the demo ; ;

Any chance for a re-upload, please? 🙂
I’m afraid I can’t re-upload my rip (though someone else might be able to) because I deleted the files once the soundtrack came out. Of course, all of the music on that rip can be found in higher quality on the soundtrack, but some of the tracks don’t loop (and the main battle theme on the OST is the abridged version). Fortunately, I extended some of the tracks using a lossless copy of the soundtrack (and the PLUS album) so that they loop properly. I’ve uploaded all of the tracks I extended that were on my demo rip here (http://www.mediafire.com/file/47d095ctbsamj2g/FFXIII Select Tracks.rar) (in VBR MP3 format). There were also a few other tracks I extended using the same process, so if anyone is interested I can upload those as well.
