There's really not that much to this little disc. Considering it was a promotional item, it's basically a preview of some of the music to be featured in the game. Thus, there's nothing new here; "At Zanarkand" is basically a shorter version of the original piece from the OST, as is "Otherworld" (although I still despise the song as much as ever). The "Battle Theme" sounds slightly different, as if different synths were used than those in the game, but it's nothing hugely different. The CD comes in a blue translucent slipcase with cute caricatures of Yuna and Tidus for the disc artwork, and that's it. All in all, this is more of a collector's item than anything else. Only available in Japan, you won't be able find it in the U.S. other than on eBay, in which case you can normally pick it up for about $10.
