=== Chocobo and the Magic Books === The ''Chocobo and the Magic Books'' mini-series comprises ''Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon'', released in North America as ''[[Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales]]'' and literally translating to ''Chocobo and the Magic Picture Book'', as well as its to-date Japan-only sequel, ''Chocobo to Mahō no Ehon: Majō to Shōjo to Gonin no Yūsha'', translated as ''Chocobo and the Magic Picture Book: The Witch, The Maiden, and the Five Heroes''. Neither game has received a separate full soundtrack release; ''Chocobo Tales'' produced a download-only album on [[iTunes]] titled ''The Best of Chocobo and the Magic Book Original Soundtrack'', while together their soundtracks were released in full as the two-disc ''Chocobo and the Magic Books Original Soundtrack''. The majority of the tracks are either unchanged versions or arrangements of ''Final Fantasy'' and ''Chocobo'' songs; ''Chocobo Tales'' contains only two original tracks—one of which is only eight seconds long—while its sequel has 12 original tracks out of 33. The soundtracks for both games were composed by Yuzo Takahashi. ''Magic Books'' contains 61 tracks across two discs, with a total length of 1:51:57; ''Best of'''s 10 tracks span 26:16. The tracks in ''Best of'' correspond to tracks 8, 1, 3, 9, 19, 25, 12, 18, 27, and 28 of the first disc of ''Magic Books'', in that order.<ref name="SEMOMB"/><ref name="SEMOBOMB"/> While neither album has seen much attention from critics, ''The Best of Chocobo and the Magic Book Original Soundtrack'' was dismissed by Chris of Square Enix Music Online as "not a worthwhile sampler" of the soundtrack.<ref name="SEMOBOMB"/> Terming it a "truncated compilation", he criticized the track selection as including what were in his opinion some of the weakest arrangements while excluding the strongest, and concluded that the album serves no purpose given the subsequent release of the full soundtrack as part of ''The Best of Chocobo and the Magic Book Original Soundtrack''.<ref name="SEMOBOMB"/> He was much more complimentary of the ''Magic Books'' album, saying that it "confirmed that Yuzo Takahashi is a bright young composer" and calling the arrangements and original songs "both melodically engaging and stylistically versatile".<ref name="SEMOMB"/> '''Tracklist''' {{tracklist | headline = Disc 1 | collapsed = yes | extra_column = Japanese title | title1 = Odeka de
