Square Enix recently announced the excellent soundtrack for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is now available on digital platforms. A physical CD set is also up for pre-order on the publisher's web store, including all 175 tracks from the recent RPG. That's all good, but it's the other musical merch Square Enix is pushing that's caught our attention.
In addition to the full OST, the publisher has put up for pre-order a limited edition, deluxe Final Fantasy music box:
When opened, the music box plays a rendition of Aerith's Theme. The box has been "handcrafted by craftsmen", with the position of the cylinder adjusted "to allow for a longer musical performance". As these are limited edition, each will also come with a unique serial number. It's a gorgeous item that we're sure collectors will want on their shelves — and it can be yours for just £849.99. Yes, we're well on our way to a grand for one of these. We suspect they'll become quite rare over time, so think of it as an investment.
We can't think of too many other gaming-related objects going for more than that, though we're sure they exist. Either way, that's an expensive block of wood, but we have big respect for anyone splashing the cash on one.
Will you be nabbing this special music box for 850 British pounds, or are you thinking of picking up the somewhat more affordable Rebirth OST instead? Let us know in the comments section below.

My first instinct was "you'd have to have more money than sense". But actually the more I think about it the more i think that this probably will increase greatly in value especially if it is indeed a quality item. Probably worth buying if you can tbh.
That beautiful. I'm not buying, but it's beautiful.
I don't trust Square/Enix that it will be a quality product. I bought some mugs from them that were a bit expensive but I thought would be great long term. They turned out to be plastic, not dishwasher safe, and can't have hot liquids in them. All that while costing 5x more than a typical ceramic mug.
@Dramlin Yikes, seriously?? I really hope you didn't pay TOO much for them.. And that people won't fall for perhaps the same trick here with the music box
I'm glad to see it was crafted by craftsmen and not a plumber or something!
I would buy a couple of them if they were a bit more expensive
No different than investing in the stock market
