I have to gently push back on that. For anyone else, I would say absolutely. 😛 *Fun Fact:* If you bought the Growing Light release, and you have all prior CD releases including the XVI OST, you are guaranteed to have 28 duplicates. This leaves 66 New tracks. If you happened to buy the 5 EP releases during the post patches (around $26.50), you are left with 41 New tracks in Total. If you take the remaining number of tracks and divide by the cost of the CD at $64.18, after shipping and taxes, you are left paying roughly $1.57 for each track. I haven't researched into how much Square Enix makes in their overall music sales. Hopefully, it acts as a cushion to soften the fall of incompetence dripping from the top of that mountain.
@@Hawkenwhacker Wait, did I read that correctly? "all prior CD releases including the XVI OST"? You mean there are tracks from FFXIV in FFXVI... or vice-versa? Or was that just a typo?
@kiritougetsu7353 About 27% of the music in the Growing Light OST can be found from previously sold soundtracks. I forget to remind myself. The more that's said, the less people listen. I will keep it simple.
@@kiritougetsu7353 I'm guessing some of the pieces used as part of the XVI event in XIV are just the originals from XVI, similar to how a good portion of the Nier pieces were the same from Automata.
@@GayBearDaddy2 Ah, so what you mean to say is that they occasionally include pieces from other games to inflate the album price? Got it. Thanks for the insight :)
lahee. scree scree. light the ravel with this fire!
What a lovely song! I’ve no interest in playing this expansion, but still enjoy the music.
No wonder each album of FFXIV music costs as much as an AAA game. Except unlike those games you're guaranteed to have spent that money well.
