Dragon Quest IV: The Guided Ones OST // Symphonic Suite + Original Famicom Versions

A double-disc CD album originally released in 1990 that contains both a symphonic version of Dragon Quest IV's music as well as the original game's soundtrack. I picked it up at Anime Expo in LA a few years back, and it's one of my prized CD's. I've read that it's never been re-issued, so I hope this upload makes it easier for you to access this alternate version (alongside its Famicom original). I also found it on the internet archive if you were interested in the files. Will slowly build out a music archive on this channel to accompany the other videos I do.
