Square Enix To Release Analog Record With Final Fantasy Music

Square Enix are releasing an analog record on their e-Store, containing music from various Final Fantasy games and one from Chrono Trigger.

The track listing is as follows:

Eternal Wind (Final Fantasy III)

Final Fantasy Dungem de Chocobo

Megalo Mania (Live a Live)

Aria (Final Fantasy VI) [SAMPLE]

Frog’s Theme Battle Fanfare (Chrono Trigger)

Final Fantasy Adventure Rising Sun ~ Endless Battlefield ~ Requiem [SAMPLE]

    Katherine! What’re you doing here?

  • PrinceHeir

    too bad i don’t have a Jukebox or whatever is using to play this.

    pretty sweet for releasing them on Gramaphone Record. i remember Square releasing a Xenogers awhile ago :P

      You can play it on a standard record player. Should be easy to buy one since records are making a come back these days. 

      • Selaphiel

        Yeah. They sell really cheap (low quality) ones at stores like Wal-Mart and Target, and you could always pick up an old one at a local second-hand store for a decent price. ($20-$30)

        I’d recommend it if you’re into 60s-80s music, rummage sales and second hand shops are filled with records for $1-$2 a piece. I picked up Fore! for $0.50 just so I could play “Hip to Be Square” while reciting the monologue from American Psycho.

          Sir I salute you, that scene is priceless~, that song was forever engraved in my memory with axes for some reason.

          “…a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But
          they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity,
          and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the
          band itself..” *chops*

  • badmoogle

    Love the artwork!

  • Selaphiel

    That’d be epic to have. They could easily do a larger printing and release it in the US, vinyl is seeing a bit of a revival in recent years due to hipsters and punk bands. Now if you excuse me, I must decide between listening to the Fleetwood Mac record I picked up at a second hand store or listening to my Pianos Become the Teeth record…

    That artwork is gorgeous. It makes me want to just start drawing and hope that I can be as good as that some day :(

    I’d buy this… But I don’t anything to play it with, sadly.

    • JustThisOne

      Start drawing. :D Develop your own style so we can oggle it.

    Do I see a Slime in that picture? :D

    P.S. The chocobo song is never gonna be the same for me because of the Hyadain videos. Not that I’m complaining though. Love the Rap’ de Chocobo. lol

      I keep waiting for Choco Meteor, but it never comes.

  • DanteJones

    Hmm, very tempting to pick up a cheap record player just to get this. :O

  • http://www.younganimal.com/berserk Mr_Qoo

    Any possible word on this ever releasing on the US Store? I imagine it’d be slightly cheaper if it did release stateside.

    Man, Akihiko Yoshida should really draw more modern-themed pieces. That art’s artbook worthy.

    • thebanditking

      Yeah he rocks, shame they don’t use him for much.

    Three FF songs, a Mana series song, a Live-a-Live song and a Chrono Trigger song…Fair enough. I just wish some more Square Enix franchises were represented though. Still, awesome stuff!

    I just want a game with that artwork. Basically looking exactly like that to the tee but in cel shaded 3D and you control that girl in the world she is in when F monsters invade it and she uses that device in her hand to summon other FF monsters she;s captured & past FF heroes she has recruited to aide her in battle.
    And the soundtrack shall be the songs in that list

    Is that the Wii U controller in the artwork? Because it looks like it. lol

    • SerendipityX

      LOL, I see what you did there Nintendo. >.>

  • thebanditking

    Huh its cool that people are still interested in using analog equipment, I like seeing throwbacks like this. Even if I own nothing to play it on :P.
