Square Enix recently stoked excitement for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second chapter in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, with an extended preview during PlayStation’s State of Play event. They also unveiled a release date of February 29, 2024, for the highly anticipated sequel. For eager fans who can’t wait that long, Square Enix offers an early glimpse into the game through a unique avenue: Rebirth’s vinyl soundtrack.

This vinyl is available for pre-order on Square Enix’s Japanese online store at a price of 4950 Yen (approximately $33). While the vinyl’s tracklist remains undisclosed, it’s presumed that revealing track names might contain spoilers. However, this raises a potential dilemma as players may possess the vinyl while still having to wait for the official game release.

Despite the secrecy surrounding the tracklist, fans of the series are likely less concerned about song titles and more interested in experiencing the iconic music from the game. The vinyl promises to feature all the game’s music, capturing the essence of the original while adapting it for Rebirth.

The vinyl’s cover art is stunning and intriguing, hinting at a duality represented by an Aerith side and a Tifa side. This enigmatic choice sparks speculation about potential narrative twists in Rebirth’s split timeline. Whether it involves pivotal character fates or character preferences for certain songs, the vinyl adds an extra layer of mystery and anticipation for the upcoming game release.
