To Far Away Times: Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross Arrangement Album (ハルカナルトキノカナタヘ)
Square Enix will be releasing an album with arranged versions of some of Yasunori Mitsuda’s music for these titles.
It was set to be released on December 15, 2015, but due to a manufacturing issue it was delayed to early January, 2016.
Japanese copies were shipped with three discs as they did not remove the faulty disc from the release. However, a disc with the fault corrected was also included with those copies. The fault was simply that the track order on Side D was incorrect.
The EU Square Enix Store only had 150 copies to sell. The NA Store didn’t open up for pre-orders until February, 2016 (with expected release late March same year).
