Final Fantasy IV 30th anniversary vinyl release up for preorder

Square Enix have announced that they will be releasing a Final Fantasy IV vinyl release titled “Song of Heroes” for the game’s 30th anniversary. It will be in a similar concept format as the “Four Souls” release for Final Fantasy III’s anniversary from last year with four new arrangements on one side and four original tracks on the other.

The release will be a single black vinyl LP. It will be housed in a tip-on single-pocket jacket with artwork by Yoshitaka Amano. It will also include a download card for digital copies of the tracks.

The release is priced at ¥3850 and is scheduled to release on August 25, 2021. It can be preordered from the Japanese Square Enix store here.

It is also available to preorder outside of Japan from CDJapan here and Amazon Japan here, however I don’t think there’s any rush to import this from Japan as it will likely become available on both the EU and NA Square Enix stores later on.
