Four Square-related albums--two original soundtracks, one arranged album, and one drama CD--have been announced so far in 2003 (proposed release dates in parentheses):

Unlimited SaGa Original Soundtrack (January 22)
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Original Soundtrack (February 19)
"Final Fantasy Battle Arrange" - The Black Mages (February 19)
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Radio Edition Vol. 1 (February 26)

A two-disc album, the Unlimited SaGa Original Soundtrack will retail for 2,913 yen (about $24 US). Detailed information (including a track list and brief samples) on the Unlimited SaGa Original Soundtrack can be found at the official DigiCube site.

Also a two-disc album, the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Original Soundtrack will retail for 2,913 yen ($24 US). Composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the album will be released less than a week after the official release date (February 14) of the game.

Given the full title of the album, The Black Mages, which will retail for 2,381 yen ($20 US) is probably a collection of arranged battle themes from the Final Fantasy series. The official website of Nobuo Uematsu (at PlayOnline) includes a sample of the Gilgamesh battle music from Final Fantasy V.

Presumably based on a radio drama featuring characters from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, the first volume of the Radio Edition drama CD will retail for 2,857 yen ($24 US). The drama, broadcast on radio stations throughout Japan, will be aired each Saturday from January 4 to March 29. (Information from RPGFan.)

All of the albums will be published, presumably, by DigiCube, the traditional label for Square-related albums.
