Why, so it is 1995. Sorry about that. Hopefully that was just a case of me mistyping.

Thanks for the help CHz and TCK!!!

CHz, GameFAQs and MobyGames are both showing 1995 as the Tales of Phantasia release year. Don't know where you got 1994 from...but I'm going with 1995.

Thanks for all the help, TCK. Unfortunately, I missed the following sentence in the STC entry:

Other than that, all the synthesized tracks (composed by Isamu Ohira) that were picked for this CD are rearranged and played by real instruments, grouped together as the "bonus tracks".

If Toyota's on there at all, it's an arranged version, so a game rip is necessary.

Artist: Isamu Ohira
Album/Game Title: Gran Turismo (Japanese Version Game Rip)
Track Title: Toyota
Disc Number: none
Track Number: none
Catalog Number: none
Year: 1997
Additional Information: I don't know if the track doesn't appear in the U.S. version, but the PSF is of the Japanese version, so I reflected that in the album name.

Sorry for putting you through that.

I'll see about downloading the OST and PSF rips, and comparing.

EDIT: Downloaded the PSF rip and listened to Toyota (although I'm quite attached to the song). I'm in the process of downloading tracks 13-21 to see which one is Toyota, it's not 13-16.

EDIT 2: Doesn't seem to be 17-21 either. I'll check the first half of the album, minus the obvious non-suspects.

EDIT 3: Looks like I'm gonna have to download fully 13-21. The openers don't seem to be a good indication of the full track. Whichever way, the PSF rip and the OST are definitely not the same.

EDIT 4: I'm starting to come to the conclusion that Toyota doesn't feature on the OST. There's a few other tracks from the PSF that don't seem to feature on the OST, and I'm guessing Toyota is one of them.

Guess I'll take the GT1 and X2 tracks as well. (No Spanish this time. Promise.)

EDIT: Hmm, turns out these two tracks weren't very good for me to research at all. One isn't that bad; at the most, all it needs is a little more information that is easily providable. The other one, well, needs someone else to look into it.

First off, the big problem... Gran Turismo. There's actually an OST for Gran Turismo. Unfortunately, the track names are different than those in the PSF pack, so I don't know which song "Toyota" is, if it's even on the CD at all. Isamu Ohira wrote tracks 13-21, so it's most likely one of those, if it's one of them. Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth to compare the PSF tracks to album tracks, so I've got dual citations... one for the game rip and one for the CD:

Artist: Isamu Ohira
Album/Game Title: Gran Turismo (Japanese Version Game Rip) OR Gran Turismo Original Game Soundtrack
Track Title: Toyota OR whatever the track title is
Disc Number: none OR 1 (of 1)
Track Number: none OR whatever the track number is (13-21, most likely)
Catalog Number: none OR SRCL-4269
Year: 1997 OR 1998
Additional Information: game rip OR OST
Source: http://www.mobygames.com/game/gran-turismo/release-info, http://www.altpop.com/stc/reviews/gtogs.htm, PSF

Artist: Shinji Hosoe
Album/Game Title: Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse (Game Rip)
Track Title: Final Battle
Disc Number: none
Track Number: none
Catalog Number: none
Year: 2004
Additional Information: Since this rip appears to be pretty rare (if that thread a while ago is any indication), I couldn't find a track listing anywhere. I do know for a fact that you have it, Kaleb, so if the track title is incorrect and/or the rip is track numbered, by all means feel free to expand the citation.
