Metaphor: ReFantazio Soundtrack Vinyl 4LP

Metaphor: ReFantazio presents a vision unlike any other title in the Atlus oeuvre. Its politically-charged high-fantasy narrative boldly explores timely themes of unrest, anxiety, equality, and utopia. Coupled with a refined take on the studio’s signature JRPG gameplay, as well as an enrapturing painterly visual style, it’s no wonder Metaphor earned Game of the Year awards from several publications.

It’s a bold, unique game, with a bold, unique soundtrack that pulls from a global palette of auditory inspirations, including lyrics written in Esperanto and chanted beautifully by a Buddhist Monk. It is, in a word, unforgettable. We at iam8bit knew it deserved an unforgettable vinyl treatment to match.

Introducing the Metaphor: ReFantazio 4xLP Vinyl Soundtrack. We worked with Atlus Sound Team to hand-select the perfect arrangement of songs from their breathtaking score, mastering them especially for vinyl. For the discs, we crafted a character-inspired Iris Burst vinyl treatment, each one with its own color to represent the heroes at the heart of Metaphor’s charming cast.

For the album artwork, we teamed up with longtime iam8bit artisan, Drew Wise, to create not just packaging, but a full-on Metaphor-inspired experience. The outer box features gold embossments and a leatherbound-style look, drawing from the storybook motif in the game. We extended this concept to the parchment-esque inner sleeves.

The result is a veritable centerpiece to any vinyl collection, a one-of-a-kind package that celebrates one of the very best roleplaying games of all time.

Pre-orders expected to ship December 2025
