Square Enix announced that they've teamed up with Black Screen Records for a new instrumental album, which they are calling Piano Fantasies. This is a completely new set of solo piano tracks featuring songs from several of the company's most iconic franchises. These have been arranged to evoke the memories tied to the music, but simplified so they aren't the grandiose orchestral pieces you usually hear. The album is up for pre-order now on both CD and vinyl, the latter of the two presented on standard black vinyl, as well as this lovely lighter shade of cyan. The CD is going for $20 while the vinyl is being sold for $45, with a release set for October 2025.
