I own 7 Final Fantasy CD's - none the original soundtracks, but orchestral, piano, and choral arrangements instead. The other day, however, I was looking to get a particular song in the original sountrack version from FFVII and, knowing that I had seen sites with downloadable files of the FFVII full 4-disc soundtrack, I searched google.
What I found was awesome beyond my imagination
Not only did I find the FFVII 4-disc original soundtrack available for full download, but I found that it also had the FFVII Piano Collections available for download as well as 24 other games with soundtracks and sometimes other arrangements available for download!
So, check this stuff out, it's great! Just beware, the server is somewhat slow (5-10 minutes a song typically) and you can only download one song at a time. Nothing an automated script can't handle though
EDIT: Apparently there are pop-ups and other such nasties for people using IE. Be warned. I didn't notice it originally since I was browsing the page in <a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Mozilla Firefox</a> (Shameless plug for your own good

(If you like Final Fantasy music, you MUST get the Feb 20, 2002 orchestral concert. I have this on CD and it's one of my favorite FF CDs by far!
