Various – Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (Sound Selection ♦ Sélection Musicale)

I was skeptical of the picture disc, but this record looks as great as it sounds. and the TRACKS...as someone who has played through all 3 releases of the game, this is much more than just a fresh coat of paint or a restoration of the original game's masters, a number of tracks are clearly remastered just for this release, notably including A3 and the last track.

overall way better than expected, I hope nintendo gives other games this same treatment (looking at you, mario odyssey and breath of the wild)

The pressing is a bit noisy, but this is to be expected from picture discs. It’s not too bad though, certainly not enough to spoil the great track selection. My only regret is there being no Satorl Marsh night theme on this disc. Can’t have it all I suppose. I do wish Nintendo would release more of their soundtracks on wax. Wait, what am I saying? That would bankrupt me!

Really good quality for a picture disc. The packaging is a bit rough but hey at least its on vinyl

First impressions of this is that it sound quite nice for a picture disc. I'm not hearing a lot of surface noise, although there's a little crackle and some very minor pops here and there on both sides. Nothing that takes anything away from the music, though, and the music is absolutely incredible.

I won't get my hopes up too much, but hopefully this release is a sign of more vinyl releases to come from Nintendo.
