So, it’s finally here. We mentioned this massive 20 CD + 1 DVD SaGa collection [1] some months ago, and even talked to Square Enix’s Music Licensing Division Manager and Promotions Manager [2] about the set, but we now have it in our hands a full day ahead of the Japanese release. I thought some of you out there who are considering purchasing the box, or have already placed your orders may be interested in checking out what’s inside, so we’ve gone ahead and done just that.
This thing is massive. And the “assembly required” thing I mention in the video? It will take you a good half-hour, and I still don’t know if I put it together correctly. When it’s done, however, it’s quite a stunning sight to behold. Oh, and the music is awesome too! I’ve been digging the Gameboy SaGa titles (they were my most anticipated soundtracks of the set), and am looking forward to digging into the rest of the material in the coming days. Watch for our review!
Is this unpacking video at all entertaining to you? If it’s something you find interesting, we can pursue stuff like this more often in the future. Anyway, I can’t imagine Square Enix is making very many of these, so get one while you can!

There’s nothing wrong with looking at cool packaging, but how often do soundtracks really merit it? I vote “infrequent bonus.”

Wow, it’s like a treasure chest. How much do the box weigh?

Dang.. Are they ever going to make it available for us? I almost had a heart attack.

It is perhaps unfortunate (or amusing depending on the perspective) to note that most of the low ratings the box set has received on Amazon.jp is due to the decision to house all the discs in that small box rather than utilize the entirety of the container it came in which, in my opinion, would have made for a much better alternative.
Oh those Japanese and their wacky shenanigans.
