This is a rare, promotional item published directly from Banpresto. The item is a book with beautiful illustrations and information on the game, and attached on the back page is a CD containing this, the Summon Night 3 OST.
Chiaki Fujita’s songs can be hit or miss, but growth is apparent on this soundtrack, which I consider to be the best, and most consistent, of the three original Summon Night titles. Almost every song is a winner, on the same level of quality as another small-scale developer’s music (*cough* Gust *wheeze* Atelier). Yeah, these songs rank up there. And even if it does fall a little short in your own mind, almost everyone can agree that Summon Night 3 is of a much higher quality, musically, than 1 or 2.
Rare as the item is, it has also become obsolete…which, for the consumer, is a good thing. Rather than tracking down this one disc collection for what is sure to be a hefty price, Frontier Works offers a four disc set of music for Summon Night 1, 2, and 3. The collection contains every song on this album release, and more, from Summon Night 3.
