I. Need. This. NOW!

Once again, CocoeBiz delivers the goods. I'm definitely buying this!

Thank you, CocoeBiz! And a special thank you goes to Manabu Namiki for composing such great music for Battle Garegga! :D

Tanomi's DMC ost set wasn't quite personally alluring enough to make my purchase, as I didn't go crazy over the games, but I'll be ordering this new Garegga CD+DVD set for 100% certain =)

Next in the line-up for the same DVD treatment is Raiden Fighters, too!

Good thing we have Cocoebiz to represent our special orders! :D

This is probably easily answered, but I'm wondering about the DVD. Will this be region-free like the Sakuraba DVD or region 2 ?

Even if it's region 2, I'll still purchase this as it will allow me to see what we've all missed on this game(assuming it was never released State-side).

I just hope to have this in my grubby little fingers before Christmas! :P

I received mine on Monday, thanks to the excellent (as always) service from CocoeBiz. :mrgreen:

The DVD is region free. The menu text is in English. The sound is basic Dolby Digital stereo.

I checked out a few of the stage plays, and they're kinda weird. The player is definitely going for the highest score possible; that's obvious. What's strange is that he purposely sacrifices his ships until he has one or none left. I guess he did that to show off, but I was expecting to see some no-loss runs. Ah well...

I haven't gone through the book yet. I skimmed a few pages, and it seems all the text is in Japanese.

The book and DVD were bonuses for me; I just wanted the soundtrack. The original music is excellent, and a few of the arrangements are just as good. A few of the tracks reminded me of his work on Ke-Tsui and DoDonPachi DAI-OU-JOU (another great soundtrack). It should be the other way around because Battle Garegga came first... you know what I mean. :D

The set was definitely worth the purchase. I'm very pleased with it, and the music will stay with me for a long time. Thanks again to:

CocoeBiz (for the excellent service)
Tanomi (for allowing CocoeBiz to secure some of these)
Manabu Namiki (for composing such great music)
