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.

UPDATE May 31: It is now available on the North American and European Square Enix stores.

Earlier this month Square Enix announced that they would be releasing the soundtracks to NieR Gestalt/Replicant and NieR: Automata on vinyl – and now preorders are here.

Three different releases have been planned. A NieR: Gestalt & Replicant 2LP and a NieR: Automata 2LP release. Both come on black vinyl and are housed in jackets with artwork by Ishida Sui.

Additionally, they will be releasing a box set with both aforementioned releases. So far it appears that the box itself is the only difference in that set.

The two 2LP sets will be priced at 3600 Yen each, while the box set will be priced at 7200 Yen (note that prices are listed without taxes). All three were sold during the Tokyo Game Show 2017 in limited quantities, but the commercial release date will be December 20, 2017.

Currently the only place to order is from the Japanese Square Enix store, but rumors have mentioned them being available in the European store later as well.

If you use a proxy service or know someone in Japan, you can order the Gestalt & Replicant OST here, the Automata OST here, and the box set containing both here.
