Review by Samuel So

This movie has many little things to laugh about if you take the time to look closely. It's funny, serious, and overly bloody. But the climax fight is a little of a let down. All in all, it's an enjoyable film by Mr. Takeshi Kitano.

This soundtrack is amazing! Mr. Masashi Hamauzu's style is similer to Mr. Nobuo Uematsu's, but he has big shoes to fill. I have yet to try Dirge of Cerberus, but this soundtrack already tells me that the game will be awesome. By the second and third track, my blood is pumping furiously feeling every movment of the music with my imagination running wild. It's definitly a worthy addition to any Final Fantasy music collection.

I love Final Fantasy almost as much as I love Nintendo. Hearing many of these tracks brought back great memories of the series for me, especially when the opera scene from FFVI played. It brought tears to my eyes! No other scene from any game captured me as much as this one. To hear it "Live" on cd makes me feel like I was in LA for this concert.
