DONE and all the tracks are in Japanese, I'm too lazy to rename them :D

Thanks!

Thanks a lot :)

Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much!

.

Oh and this should be the TRANSLATED tracklist: http://vgmdb.net/album/67329
The VGMdb site is linked on the title in the first post.

Thanks

Thank you so much, Hikaru.

Archives this big are better separated into parts that can be opened and processed individually. I need 7.4 GB free space to download + another at least 7.4 GB free space to extract, all at once.

Wow, Mega sucks! Transfer limit, continue 6 hours later; have to sign in to download over 200 MBs.

Stupid MEGA transfer limit. I'm using MEGADownloader, I thought this program avoided those..

Thank you so much, Hikaru.

Ok, I will do it just like the old time again starting from next time.

I once used Jdownloader to download from Mega and it could avoid this problem.
You can try it to see if it can avoid now or not.

.

Thanks!

Why is MEGA giving troubles to you guys? The free download quota should be enough for this archive. But yeah i admit it's stupid...
It popped up at about 5 GB, I couldn't finish part 5.

Thank you!

I'm curious about a couple of things:
- The mp3 rip seems to have small cracks/blips in most of the songs.
- I haven't tried the FLAC rip, but does it make sense to have a FLAC rip when the blu ray source material is high res but most likely lossy (DTS/AC3)?

thank you very much! :)

Edit: anyone else having problems via extracting the MP3 archives? It seems broken...?

.

I haven't tried the FLAC rip, but does it make sense to have a FLAC rip when the blu ray source material is high res but most likely lossy (DTS/AC3)?

Blu-ray audio is typically not lossy. Square Enix Blu-ray soundtracks are in stereo PCM.

However, spectral shows a cut-off at 24kHz, which means this is really 24bit-48kHz. So there's an awful lot of wasted space.

Wow, how smartly produced. Or totally not purposely misleading "96 kHz".

Thank you sooo much Hikaru, it's an amazing remaster ! :D

I can't download in any way under Firefox but works under Internet Explorer... MEGA sucks those times...
Anyway thanks for the links !

EDIT : Does'nt work under IE neither ("not enough memory'"), MEGA became shit --'

Good to know the former, unfortunately not surprised about the later. :/

I don't think it's unlikely that the producers up-converted them from 16 bit with added gain either, but that's a tougher one to figure out.

Unfortunately when I downloaded this, it said that the file was cracked and unreadable

Is this WEB or Blu-ray rip?

.

No luck extracting the MP3s of the first disc. Tried downloading it twice, both times 7zip says it can't be opened as an archive.

Edit: Turns out I needed to update 7zip. If anyone else is having issues, make sure your extractor is current. Thanks, OP!

Thanks Utada Hikaru. :)

Re-download it then...

I did, it was just a RAR file inside of the download and didn't extract any of the songs

thanks .. i've been waiting 4 this

.

Is this WEB or Blu-ray rip?
This is Blu-ray rip
The original uploader posted the the rip way earlier before Mora released the web version.


As for someone cannot extract the archive, please update winrar or 7zip to extract it.
I did type the RAR5 under the title.

.

Extract the RAR, too, the music is in there. On Mega, don't choose "download as zip" if it's already an archive like RAR or 7zip or if there are few files. The only point I can think of in downloading as zip is if there are many non-archived files, for example dozens of mp3s.

Finally! Thank you very much!

and there I was thinking Dalmasca Estersand couldn't get any better. Zodiac Age proved me wrong.

Yep.



When a thing like that happens, I make a reconversion to 24/48 or 24/64. It's normal in BDs and I'm used to it (the FF 14 soundtracks in BD are exactly like this).

Thank you

use a VPN, im using BETTERNET and no issues with MEGA

Good show, sir. Packages of this size and quality are always welcome (and appreciated).

Cheers!

Exactly what I did. Saves a little over 2 gigs of space.

Honestly not a fan of SE's Blu-ray releases for this reason, but if it's the only way to get lossless quality files, so be it. At least the dynamics of the lossless files aren't more squashed than the MP3s like on FFX-HD. (Although certainly more squashed than the original OST.)

Overall, I still think the Zodiac Age is an improvement and am grateful for its release (and the share, of course).

thanks!

English tracks + scans. CD1 (bluray) is 24/96, but as shown it's better to convert to 24/48, CD2 is just a CD 16/44.1.

Can't download, it's frustrating...

Why?

Completely doesn't work on Firefox, I can't download any files.
So I tried on Internet Explorer and if it starts download, it stops because the file (the whole OST) is too "heavy" to download. So the only way for me to get the music is by one by one track. Painful as you can imagine XD

Seriously Oo, use Chrome!

Or you try it with MEGAsync - https://mega.nz/sync
Oh wait, I guess you need an account for that

I'm gonna see this, thank you.

no problem with chrome you will see.

I tried with Chrome... and it doesn't work neither XD Because of "exceeding limit of transfer" ("d�passement de quota de transfert" in french). So I can't download the OST in any way...
I don't understand, I didn't have any problem to download with MEGA some months ago... what happened with that site ?... ><

You have 5GB each 6 hours, so you have to wait or change your IP.

With my link you can download each tracks separately but the album is around 6.7GB, so check to have 5GB of tracks and download the rest later.

Anyone doing this with a Mac? I can't find a program that'll extract these.

EDIT: Never mind. The Archiver did the trick. Huzzah!

Thanks so much guys!
Does anyone know yet which tracks in the Zodiac Age are brand new and original? I'm playing through it atm and the only two I've noticed are the Nam-Yensa Sandsea, and a new boss battle theme that played when I battled Garuda. Any chance someone has a list of all the new tracks?

All of the tracks that don't have "Zodiac Age Version" in the title are new, so tracks 49, 50, 61, 71, 83, 90, 93, 99.

Indeed, after sleeping I can download new tracks (I didn't know the time to wait for that). Thanks for your help.

Great :-)

Downloaded it ! But when I want to open the .rar file it says it broken (both CDs of MP3 versions). It clearly appears I'm cursed XD

Yes you are lol.

The problem is when you download as archive, MEGA create the archive and several time it doesn't work, so just download without archive you don't need it, you create a folder on your HDD and download files into this folder, no archive.

I don't get it. The MP3 versions linked in the first page is already an archive (in .rar) so I can't do anything against that.

Download my link.

Ok, I don't have any choice but downloading track by track with your link with Chrome.
Hope there gonna be less painful way to download in the future...
Thanks for your help fatalracing.

You have problem with your system, not us, MEGA works perfectly, I up and down mass GB all the day without issue, check your system.

I'll do it :)

Can I have english MP3 tracks, plz?

Download the FLAC and down convert to MP3

.

thanks

Thanks a lot

Why? The 96khz version disc one is 6.8GB, I thought your version would be much smaller

The version I upload is the original at 96khz it s the reason, I have down converted later.

So what software did you use to down converted the file?

Foobar2000 probably the best choice.

Thank you again Hikaru for your great work and post ! This "new" soundtrack has truly incredible vibes.

Does anyone is renaming these tracks in english ? If not, I can do the job for the MP3 version (at least).
Let me know if you are enouth interested in, cause this is a little time consuming.

.

It's strange, I ran a software called Lossless Audio Checker and checked a single file (36 to be exact)
It told me it is up-sampled

So I guess we've been tricked by SE?

I've checked a lot of Hi-res files to be sure, this is the only one I have that didn't pass the check

Thanks!

Thank you kindly for this. :)

Thanks for this

thank you

Thanks for this one :)

Looks like all of these links are down, Hikaru. Would you mind re-uploading, please?

I'm looking for the mp3 files, but I can always convert FLAC so whatever is easiest for you.

Thread 209701

Does anyone have the original hi-res FLAC (96kHz/24bit) files (digital download, not BR rip) and would be willing to upload them to Mega?

Seconded :/

First of all I'm searching for the 24 bit bluray rip. Can anyone help me?

About the WEB Version:

I've searched on many of english, japanese and chinese sites for the digital version in the last weeks. But it seems that it is only available at tsdm.me and I don't know how that commuinty works. Besides that on mora.jp, too of course but you can't pay with paypal.

But my question to that case: The digital version has only 99 tracks and the rip has 102 tracks. So why the digital version? Anyone knows something definitely about better quality?

The digital is upscale to 99khz but the quality is only around 48 khz , 24 bit so they are same with BD . The Digital missing 3 unrelease track so you better get BD

okay, just need someone to upload it again. ^^

Removed

I prefer the original untouched version because I have more than enough space to not to downsample something. So I hope Hikaru comes online again one day but until than thanks for that. In case of doubt it will do its job as well.

It's been on my mind for some time now... Does anyone know what happened to Hikaru? He suddenly disappeared and ever since I've been worried about him.

You dont need to get untouchted version becasue it is just upscale quality . The quality of soundtrack is actually 24bit/48khz but Square Enix upscale it so you gain nothing from it but waste of space .

In short this version that I am upload have the same quality with Hikari version but it is better becasue it has smaller size . If you prefer original you can just convert it to 96khz by yourself

I know all of this. I've read the whole thread. Maybe that's not a rational thing to you but I never get why smaller size can be "better quality" than a untouched version. I think everyone should decide by himself if he want to downsample something and at least space doesn't cost that much money anymore. I always try to get an original from its source and only listen to wav just be sure that no one made a mistake.


Or in other words: My philosophy is that I want to listen to music like the artists imagined to and to me that is a part of it.

thanks a lot
