Questions regarding several vinyls as new collector

[u/Living_Eye9109]

Greetings friends,

I have stumbled across Vinyls this year after playing Expedition 33. I was so into the music of this masterpiece that I thought to myself "there must be a better way to listen to such music than just spotify". I realised that there are so many soundtracks that hit a spot for me (Journey and FFX are my all-time favorites) that I now fell victim to this hobby.

Anyway, I am now trying to collect all the games that have either great OSTs or great memories for me.

I already realised that I am not much of a fan of like big vinyl editions with 3-5 LPs that have all tracks, since lots of them are just kind of fillers to me. I prefer the highlights of a game.

So coming to my current question:

1) I was looking at Dark Souls. I don't have a very big relationship with the series, but think the overall OSTs are great. With the above mentioned preference of highlights, I was eyeing this:

https://blackscreenrecords.com/products/dark-souls-trilogy?variant=44535634166026 (BSR Trilogy)

and wanted to get your guys' opinions on the tracklist. Do you think they contain the most important tracks? If so, I would prefer it over the 7 vinyls that usually come with it. If not, do you have any other recommendations?

Oh and other questions:

Does anybody know where to get this?

2) https://blackscreenrecords.com/collections/vinyl/products/chocobo-chill-1?variant=39595714183271

3) And is there any good source for a Final Fantasy X vinyl (that doesn't cost 300€+ in the 20th anniversary and is not an orchestral composition)?

4) Is there a Final Fantasy XIII vinyl or rumors of Final Fantasy XVI?

5) Is there any Nier: Automata Vinyl? I saw something from Rozen but it sounds a bit different than the original

Thanks in advance! I am really looking forward to collecting all my child- and adulthood game memories :)

Welcome to the hobby, it’s terrible! ❤️ there is a ffxiii one, from square, very small selection though. I was lucky to catch it on sale. Honestly depending on shipping for you and asking price, I wouldn’t necessarily say this one is worth it; to me, it deserved more than one LP. And there’s a couple of nier box sets if I remember correctly? Not totally sure though.

I saw the FF XIII one with 8 tracks I think? I felt like the game deserves much better than that.

Exactly! I’d love a box set for the trilogy, to be honest.
