🚨🚨🚨 Hold onto your hats, folks, because iam8bit, purveyor of overpriced video game paraphernalia, is BACK with another vinyl record you absolutely DON’T need! This time, they’re gracing us with the *Metaphor: ReFantazio* soundtrack. Yes, the game you’ll probably forget about in a week. 🙄
Oh, iam8bit, you sly dogs! You’ve done it again! Milked another ATLUS game for all it’s worth! I mean, who *doesn’t* need a limited edition vinyl record of a game soundtrack? Especially one from a game that’s probably just gonna be another Persona clone. 🤣 But hey, at least it’s not *Shin Megami Tensei*, am I right? 😂
Following in the footsteps of their previous masterpieces (read: slightly overpriced *Persona 3* and *Persona 4* vinyls), iam8bit is preying on the wallets of hardcore fans and hipsters alike. This limited-time release (because scarcity = value, duh!) is a must-have for anyone who enjoys the warm, crackly sound of a needle skipping across a record while their digital music library sits untouched. 🤷♀️
Behold! The *Metaphor: ReFantazio* 4xLP! Featuring the “stellar” soundtrack (I’m sure it’s *fine*), pressed on character-inspired “Iris Burst Vinyl.” Each disc is a different color, representing the heroes of the game. Because, you know, colors totally enhance the listening experience. 🌈 It’s not just music, it’s a *visual* journey, people! ✨
But wait, there’s more! iam8bit, masters of the obvious, have worked with other game developers before. They’ve blessed us with vinyl soundtracks for *Hades* (okay, that one’s kinda cool, I guess 🙄), *Sunset Riders* (who even remembers that game?), and *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* (because everyone needs to hear Navi’s “Hey! Listen!” on vinyl). 🤦♀️
And who could forget the musical genius behind this masterpiece? Shoji Meguro, the guy who did the *Persona* soundtracks. So, expect more of the same catchy-but-ultimately-repetitive tunes that will get stuck in your head for weeks. 🎶 (Send help!)
But the real star of the show is the album artwork! Drew Wise, a “longtime iam8bit artisan” (whatever that means), has crafted a *Metaphor*-inspired experience. So, you can stare at the pretty pictures while you listen to the music and pretend you’re not wasting your money. 🤑
The *Metaphor: ReFantazio* soundtrack features a diverse range of musical inspirations, from Gregorian chants to happy-town music. Because nothing says “cohesive soundtrack” like throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. 🤪 The 4xLP will launch in Q4 2025, featuring ALL the music from the game. Because who needs a curated listening experience when you can have *everything*? 🙄
So, if you’re a die-hard *Metaphor: ReFantazio* fan (do those even exist yet?), or just someone with too much money and a vinyl addiction, head over to the iam8bit website and pre-order your copy now! But hurry, pre-orders close on May 27th! Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of video game history (that will probably end up collecting dust on your shelf). 🤡
And while you’re there, be sure to check out the rest of iam8bit’s vinyl collection. You might just find another overpriced piece of plastic that you can’t live without! 😉 (Or, you know, just save your money and buy something useful. 🤷♂️)
