Atlus has just announced that Shin Megami Tensei IV, which scored a fantastic 9/10 in our review, will finally see its wonderful soundtrack released in Japan on 26th February.
Even better is that this isn't some half-hearted "best of" or "selection" CD, but all 112 tracks spread across four CDs and wrapped up in a specially designed case (shown on the right) with a booklet containing liner notes from the composer.
The soundtrack is being published by Mastard Records (catalogue number: LNCM-1043~6) and will retail for ¥ 3,900 + tax, which is roughly £22/€27/$37USD - an absolute bargain for fans of the demon-filled dungeon crawler.

Thats a pretty good deal for the ST. But I still wish there was a release date for the game in PAL regions (This is why region lock needs to go away).
I have it already since it came with the collectors edition.
Still no European release.
Urrggggg.
By the way, what about the European release ?
I guess NL should change the expected date to TBA from "Q3 2013 (UK/EU)" haha. Q3 has long passed & no SMT IV in sight, still.
YES!
Importing <3
@Thearnaud44 That was not the full soundtrack yo
I don't believe that CD from the collector's pack could hold 112 tracks
I also have the Collector's pack, so I know
I love the music CD that came with the game. I listened to it in the car for quite some time. I would love to have this.
Meanwhile, Atlus continues to hate Europe for some reason...
Super excited about this! I'm a huge fan of OSTs and loved the boss music in this game so much!
@Thearnaud44 Dude, have you even looked at that CD? There's only 8 tracks in it, and only 1 is actually from the game (the other 7 are from other games in the series). It was just a little bonus for early buyers, not a full soundtrack.
Honestly, I get tired of these special editions that come with the "soundtrack" but then end up only being a sampler. It frustrates the heck out of me. At the very least, be open about it with your advertising.
I had this happen with Alice: Madness Returns, Bit.Trip Complete, and SMTIV to name a few. Though I don't really like most of the soundtrack, at least Solatorobo came with a full disc worth of music.
Sorry. Just had to vent.
@FiveDigitLP I don't know about the other games, but SMT4 was definitely open with their advertising of the soundtrack. When I preordered it, Amazon's product page specifically told me that it would only contain 8 tracks.
And it's not like they had to include any soundtrack to begin with. The article states that this OST will cost about $37, just like most OSTs, so it's not like you should just expect them to give it to you.
I need one of those.
Finally! I've been checking for this every couple of weeks.
@FiveDigitLP
They were open about it. Properly researching your purchases ahead of time will save you a lot of grief.
UK release...
@Ralizah
