Final Fantasy 35th Anniversary Orchestral Compilation vinyl release available to preorder from Square Enix

Square Enix have opened preorders for an orchestral compilation vinyl release for the Final Fantasy series’ 35th anniversary. The concept is to pick an orchestral arrangement of a track from each game in the series, although no tracklist have been announced yet.

The release will be a 2LP on black vinyl. It will be housed in a triple gatefold jacket with Yoshitaka Amano’s 35th anniversary artwork.

It is priced at ¥8800 and is scheduled to release on August 31, 2022. It can be preordered from Square Enix’s Japanese store here (domestic shipping only) and from CDJapan here.
While not confirmed I would imagine that this will be sold at Square Enix’s other regional stores at a later time as well.
