[edit] The Black Mages

Hi, what do you mean by "not produced by Square Enix"? The first Black Mages album was published by DigiCube and Square Enix, doesn't this mean it was produced by Square Enix? Besides, half of the albums listed here weren't published by DigiCube or Square/Square Enix to begin with. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 17:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Published!=Produced. The albums on this page (with the exception of "The Best of Final Fantasy 1994 - 1999", which needs to be moved) were made by square. They paid someone to take the music that they owned the rights to and make an album of either those songs or arrangements of those songs. Someone then published the album, either SE or someone they paid. The Black Mages are different- Uematsu, who does not own the rights to the music (something he isn't very happy about), paid SE for the right to make these albums, arranging their songs. His band, which is not affiliated with SE, then perfomed them. Then, for the first one, they paid SE to publish the disks. For the other two, they paid someone else. None of them were "made by" SE, and therefore are not really "compilation" albums that should be solely on this page. They need to be mentioned, yes- but with a "Main" template link firmly attached. --PresN (talk) 18:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
