Finally !! After 3 months of no internet, I've come back. You'll quickly notice that the old
sections of the opening comic, the boss strategies, final boss strategies and FF release dates
were all scrapped in order to make it so The Floating Island now only deals in Game Music information.
Yes, the Pet section is still online... well because it's Sam :)

For the real update, 17 soundtracks were added. They are :

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Sword of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Hanjuku Hero vs 3D
Silent Hill
Silent Hill 2
Shin Contra
Tengai Makyou II Manji Maru
Ragnarok Online
Cyber Sled
Galaxian 3 Theater 6
Shining Force II Symphonic Suite
The Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind
Tales of Destiny II
Tales of Symphonia
Motoi Sakuraba Star Ocean & Valkyrie Profile Live Concert DVD
Sampling Masters presents Julianna's Tsunashima Vol. 1

In other news, since DigiCube, the company responsible for publishing Square's soundtracks
and more, has filed for bankruptcy on November 26, 2003, for being in a debt of several
billion yen; all the DigiCubes I own have the availability set to Out of Print. I can only hope
that Square-Enix will eventually settle for a new publisher for their soundtracks, as long as
it's not Avex, I'll be happy.

13/09/2003

Wheeeeee !!!!! I'm back !!! Not much to add, except two new soundtracks :

added tibdits in the Square Music Team section. Oh yes, you'll notice that I
linked a few soundtracks to CocoeBiz, an excellent Store that specialises in
soundtracks by Noriyuki Iwadare(Grandia, Lunar), Motoi Sakuraba(Star Ocean,
Valkyrie Profile) and Shinji Hosoe(Internal Section, Driving Emotion Type-S).
Due to my college duties, I will not have the time to reformat my subsite, it'll
have to wait longer before I can do so.

 

16/04/2003

Two soundtracks I've forgotten to add : Ogre Battle 64 and 2197.
Until probably september, there won't be any more updates. However, I am currently
