We noted a few months ago that Square Enix was busily working onseveral new offeringsin their SQ remix album series. We now have more information, asBeer SQ,Battle SQ, andSQ Chips2have all been announced for release this coming July.Beer SQandBattle SQ, both with July 4 release dates, will be available in both standard and limited editions, with the latter sporting two discs for only a few dollars more, whileSQ Chips2will hit on July 25 and will come as a single-disc standard release only.
Websites have been launched for each album with a streaming sample, and while I’m tired of hearing remixes of Gilgamesh’s theme fromFinal Fantasy V, theSQ Chips2remixis sounding mighty fine. The samples fromBeer SQandBattle SQboth come from theSaGaseries, with a Celtic influence for the former and a heavy metal one for the latter.Beer SQ,Battle SQ, andSQ Chips2are all available for pre-order, and they come at the fair price of 2,000 Yen ($25) or less.
Which of the three albums are you most looking forward to?SQ Chipswas easily one of my favorite albums of 2011, so I’m excited for more, but the Celtic stylings of theBeer SQsample are right down my alley.
