A FF Versus XIII soundtrack to be released this March?

Gothic Girl | February 05, 2008 | Video | Playstation 3

Despite an obvious lack of information on Final Fantasy Versus XIII, it seems that a Square Enix soundtrack featuring songs from the game is already ready and waiting to be sold in Japan. IGN has reported that the soundtrack (named "Drammatica - The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura") will be ready for sale on March the 25th.

However, it seems odd that a group of songs from Versus XIII are being released so early, considering a 2008 release of the actual game seems unlikely.
Hearing them a year early will certainly take away some of the "fun factor" in discovering new tunes while playing the actual game.

Sample:

Final Fantasy Versus XIII may be the most mysterious of the three known FFXIII projects, but, in a surprising twist, it's going to be the first one with a soundtrack! HMV Japan has posted a listing for a new soundtrack from Square Enix that will contain tracks from the TBA title.

The soundtrack is called Drammatica - The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura. Being released in celebration of Shimomura's 20th anniversary as a game music composer, the soundtrack will include selections chosen by Shimomura herself, re-recorded using overseas orchestras (overseas as in outside of Japan).

FF Versus XIII music is being included as a bonus.

Look for the Drammatica CD on March 26 at a cost of 3,000 yen. When contacting your favorite importer, ask for catalog number SQEX10112 on the Square Enix label.

I have been wanting this song ever since I first heard it in the trailer.
