Following in the footsteps of albums like Chip Tuned Rockman, Square Enix is taking some of its beloved music from the post-8bit era and rearranging it into new chiptune remixes for its latest album SQ Chips.

Love SQ (the first album in the series) has already shown us how great 8bit remixes of Chrono Trigger can be thanks to the talents of Sexy Synthesizer. And while we don’t know which artists are contributing to SQ Chips, we do know most of the games it will feature. Aside from more Chrono Trigger, expect to hear music from Secret of Mana and its Japan-only sequel Seiken Densetsu 3, Einhänder, Threads of Fate, Brave Fencer Musashi, Saga 2 and Unlimited Saga, Project Sylpheed and of course, the Final Fantasy series.

SQ Chips will available on September 7th for ¥1890 (approximately $23.50) from Amazon Japan, the Sony Music Shop and the Square Enix eStore. Until then, you can check out a sample by listening to the background music on the official site.
