EDIT 2: Below is the extraction guide of Eyes of Heaven. For All Star Battle's extraction guide, see this post: https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-38466...#pid665859
EDIT: I've figured out how to extract all of these in playable forms, so I'll explain how I did it for other people who are interested! Note that this was all done with the PAL PS4 version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven, though this process should work with other versions of the game as well as other CyberConnect2 games that use the same formats.
SOFTWARE USED
When you start off, you should have a few CPK files from the game. These are CriWare pack files. If you drag and drop a CPK onto the executable for YACpkTool, it will extract them to a new subfolder named after the CPK itself, in the folder where the CPK is.
The CPK files we are interested in for this process are:
To rip audio from ACB/AWB archives (another CriWare format, seemingly specifically as audio banks):
This is where the process gets a little tricky. XFBIN files are used all over this game as general containers. Most people seem to believe that it is not possible to rip audio from the audio container variants, as they use NUS3BANK containers, but... honestly, I'm not sure where that information came from. The raw file data for each audio file is just kind of in here, and you can yank it out with certain BMS scripts, for example.
As far as I can tell, audio-XFBIN files in this game contain two filetypes: BNSF (a Bandai Namco sound format) and AT3 RIFF (a compressed Sony audio format).
To check if a particular XFBIN file has either one of these, open it in HxD (or any other hex editor) and Find (Ctrl + F) both "BNSF" and "RIFF". If you find either one, it should be an audio-XFBIN, and should work with the following BMS script.
To export BNSF & AT3 files from XFBIN archives with their original file names, first copy this BMS script (by DKDave) into a TXT or BMS file and save it to your computer.
Once you have the BMS script saved, the extraction process can begin:
Here are some sample files:
"battle.xfbin", which contains both BNSF files and AT3 files: https://mega.nz/file/mG4VUQgK#q5rAlcbRdi...wDote33VxA
"gimmick.xfbin", which only contains AT3 files: https://mega.nz/file/KagVTKIR#-BxBhOySCT...X2AJDODEsk

SOFTWARE USED
- YACpkTool
- VGMToolbox (for ACB/AWB archives)
- HxD (though any hex editor should work just as well)
- QuickBMS (for XFBIN files, using one script, found below)
- foobar2000 (+ vgmstream component)
When you start off, you should have a few CPK files from the game. These are CriWare pack files. If you drag and drop a CPK onto the executable for YACpkTool, it will extract them to a new subfolder named after the CPK itself, in the folder where the CPK is.
The CPK files we are interested in for this process are:
- sound0.cpk: contains BGM (in ACB/AWB format) and general battle/common sound effects (in XFBIN format)
- sound1.cpk: contains sound gallery voice clips and all main story mode voice clips (all in ACB/AWB format)
- stream0.cpk: contains character combat voice clips (e.g. attack noises, pain sounds) (in XFBIN format) and in-game character voice clips (in ACB/AWB format)
To rip audio from ACB/AWB archives (another CriWare format, seemingly specifically as audio banks):
- Open VGMToolbox.
- In the side panel, under the "VGMToolbox" section, open up "Misc. Tools" -> "Extraction Tools" -> "Common Archives".
- Select the "CRI ACB/AWB Archive Extractor".
- Drag an ACB file (NOT THE AWB! The ACB file has all the file names and whatnot, so it must be used instead) onto the blank space of the window.
- VGMToolbox should extract the files to a subfolder within the folder where the ACB was.
- Inside should be HCA files. You can open these in foobar2000 if you've installed the vgmstream component.
- By right-clicking on a file/files you've selected in foobar's playlist, you can select convert and convert them all to generic WAV files for use/conversion in other programs.

Next AOnce you have the BMS script saved, the extraction process can begin:
- When prompted by QuickBMS, select the TXT or BMS file you saved DKDave's XFBIN script into.
- Select the XFBIN archive that contains BNSF/AT3 files that you want to extract.
- Select the folder you wish to extract the files into.
- Voila! It should dump the BNSF and/or AT3 files with their original names. (If it says 0 files found, confirm that the XFBIN file you are extracting from does in fact have BNSF and/or AT3 files).
- You can open these BNSF/AT3 files in foobar2000 if you've installed the vgmstream component.
- By right-clicking on a file/files you've selected in foobar's playlist, you can select convert and convert them all to generic WAV files for use/conversion in other programs.
Here are some sample files:
"battle.xfbin", which contains both BNSF files and AT3 files: https://mega.nz/file/mG4VUQgK#q5rAlcbRdi...wDote33VxA
"gimmick.xfbin", which only contains AT3 files: https://mega.nz/file/KagVTKIR#-BxBhOySCT...X2AJDODEsk
