    Contains Celtic arrangements of music from Final Fantasy IV, all instrumental.


    First pressing: Comes in a cardboard book-type case. Does not have an obi. The picture on the front is the same as the SS version, only much smaller. The liner notes have the same messages from Yoshitake Maeda and Nobuo Uematsu as the SS version, but the layout is different and it has additional pictures not found in subsequent pressings. The first pressing includes pictures of the Irish musicians and shots of stone monoliths, stone Celtic crosses and stone castles (none of which I recognize, but I assume they're located in Ireland).

    Squaresoft version: Comes in a regular jewel case. The liner notes includes messages from Yoshitake Maeda and Nobuo Uematsu, and the tracklist in English. The only real art in the liner notes is a picture of a moon, plus pictures of the musicians that are from the first pressing but are reproduced much smaller than in the first pressing.

    Squaresoft re-release: Comes in a regular jewel case. Barring any corrections or slight text changes that might have been made to the text that I didn't catch, the liner notes, CD and music are the same as the original SS version. The only real differences are the new catalog number, and minor changes to the obi and the back cover, which you can see by comparing the scans above.

    SonMay version: Comes in a regular jewel case. The liner notes have only the first two pages of the first-pressing version, with tracklist in English and a picture of a stone monolith in the background. That's it. Nothing else in the liner notes. The CD is also in the style of the first pressing. Also includes a customer survery card.

    EverAnime version: Comes in a regular jewel case. The liner notes have the same style and content as the SS version. Printed on the EA CD is a picture of the cover. Also includes a customer survery card.


    Interesting note: The date of release on the Squaresoft re-release is listed as 11/26/94 (the date of the original Squaresoft release), although it was actually re-released on 10/1/04.
