@Bubbagum_Bish Yep, Xenoblade Chronicles' OST is awesome. It was already featured on last year's Sound Byte 2011 Year in Review vid. That's why it's not on this year's vid.

@dogbert88 The intro song was an old tune from the Japanese band B'Z called Dangan; promotional material and all that. It wasn't part of the Dragon's Dogma soundtrack album.

That said, it's a bitchin' tune to start a game off.

@WantYouBad Nobuo Uematsu composed The Last Story's music; the game's OST still channels the good bits of FF music.

@Pete5506 I agree with Xenoblade. We featured that in last year's Sound Byte Year in Review vid.

@BigDogZoo Yep, we do. We have been doing a podcast called Sound Byte Radio: check it out and tell us what you think. http://asia.gamespot.com/news/sound-byte-gamespots-video-game-audio-blog-6298196?tag=Topslot;SoundByteBestOf2012;SoundByteBestOf2012;SoundByteArchive The next one's due in January; we've been too busy this month and the last to do a new episode.

@DennisWZH Actually yes. You get GP which you spend on either Toki or Towa to get extra spells. Just check the last bits of this vid to see the stuff I unlocked so far.

@FuryX-4 It's a really good game spoiled by Capcom's post-release bullcrap. The Pandora power-up is marginally useful unless you're top-notch with your combos, but so far the game mechanics and fighting's rock-solid. I should warn you that like SF III: Third Strike, it's not for everyone. Check out Maximillian's vids to see the game at its best. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC63BA354E9F9CCC4&feature=plcp

@XeonForce It's been a busy couple of weeks in the Asia office. Sorry for the lack of SB Radio podcasts. :P

@soulless4now FF Producer Shinji Hashimoto and Square Enix has "no comment" on this so far. I asked them during the FF Anniversary event weekend.
