Yes. If you're truly interested in a lossless experience though, there is a Soundtrack CD which is being released by KT as part of the Premium Box sold in Japan. You have to import it, though: https://reddit.com/r/fatalframe/comments/yl91u6/preorder_guide_for_fatal_frame_mask_of_the_lunar/

Thanks for your answer. Effectively, if all files are already encoded in Vorbis, it's pointless to convert them to wav.
Daedalus  [author] 10 Mar, 2023 @ 2:05pm 
The original files are untouched, only the headers are swapped. And yes, the original files are lossy (Vorbis) inside a KVS container.

Would't it be better to convert the files to wav and then to FLAC ? Unless the base files are already lossy ?
