Shimomura’s best featured in Drammatica

Recently, the official website at Square Enix made a nifty little update containing Drammatica's tracklist.  In case some of you don't know, Drammatica is Yoko Shimomura's "best of" compilation featuring full, live re-recordings and even some medleys from high-end titles like Kingdom Hearts, Live A Live, Front Mission, and awesomely enough, a track from Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

1. Legend of Mana ～Title Theme～ (Legend of Mana)
2. Take the Offensive (Front Mission)
3. Destati (Kingdom Hearts)
4. Hometown (Legend of Mana)
5. 鳥児在天空飛翔 魚児在河里游泳 (LiveA)
6. ～Opening Theme from HEROES of MANA～ (Heroes of Mana)
7. Twinkle Twinkle Holidays (Kingdom Hearts)
8. Tango Appassionata (Heroes of Mana)
9. Colored Earth (Legend of Mana)
10. Forgotten Wings (LiveA)
11. The 13th Anthology (Kingdom Hearts)
12. Manifold Irons (Front Mission)
13. Cities (Legend of Mana)
14. The Other Promise (Kingdom Hearts)
15. ～Ending Theme from HEROES of MANA～ (Heroes of Mana)
16. Somnus (Final Fantasy Versus XIII)

To anyone checking out this tracklist, the most eye-catching song names tend to belong in the Kingdom Hearts series, and from the looks of it, there "appear" to be news songs on there, but speculation persists that they are just good old fashioned medleys.  Twinkle Twinkle Holidays is most likely a Holiday medley comprised of songs that were featured in the Christmas Town area of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+.  The 13th Anthology most likely follows the same footsteps, and is comprised of "Organization XIII" related music in one long medley.  However, the song most of interest is Somnus from Final Fantasy Versus XIII.  It should be noted, that it is the same song that is played in the background of the trailers that we've seen, but also something to take note of, according to the latest floor reports from TGS, is that there are several variations of the song, with more instruments added in, as well as the song lengthened.  However, regarding which version is included on this CD isn't known, but this is just one very small reason to look out for it.  With it including other titles such as Legend of Mana and Front Mission which feature some of Shimomura's most beatiful works, this is definitely one eye-catching CD.
