A group of different VGM artists have grouped together to release new arrangements of music from Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear 2, Persona 4, Secret Of Mana, Shadow Dancer, Sonic The Hedgehog, Streets Of Rage 2 and Super Castlevania IV on the album “VGM Jams Mixtape Vol. 1”. It is being released through a campaign currently up on Qrates.
If the campaign is successful the release will be a single LP on black vinyl. It will be housed in a regular LP jacket featuring new artwork made for this project.
It is priced at $34.29 and the campaign runs from now and until June 18, 2021. It is scheduled to release 2-3 months after the campaign ends if it reaches its goal of 100 preorders.

As teased recently Square Enix will be releasing a vinyl box set with music from their game NieR Replicant. The set will contain a mix of the newly arranged music from NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139, the piano collections, the orchestral albums, and some solo instrument arrangements. The release is titled “NieR Replicant -10+1 Years-“.
The release will be a black vinyl 4LP box set. Each record will be themed to a different character/set of characters and will feature various takes of music for these characters. Each record will be housed in its own single-pocket jacket and the set features illustrations by Shirow Miwa. The set will also include a download card.
Each individual record in the set is also available to purchase on its own.
The set is priced at ¥9900 and it is scheduled to release around September 15, 2021. It can be preordered from the Japanese Square Enix Store here.
It doesn’t appear that it is available from stores that ship outside of Japan yet, but I think it’s fair to assume that it will show up on other regional Square Enix stores soon.
