Additional Information

Description: Original score for Final Fantasy VIII (developed and published by Square for PlayStation).

Resources: To download all OST MIDIs for this album, click here. To download all Piano MIDIs for this album, click here.

Limited Edition: There was also a limited edition of the soundtrack with different artwork and liner notes, though the catalog number and track listings remain the same.

Domestic Release: There was a separate album released for the American release of the game called Final Fantasy VIII Music Collection, though the track listings and musical contents are identical and it was only available for a short period of time. Given the Japanese release has been far more successful overseas due to imports, the listing of this album is merely a triviality.
