Today marks the 12-year anniversary of the release of yuletide-themed arrangement compilation "X'mas Collections: Music from Square Enix."

Published on November 24th, 2010, the compact disc release selects seven music tracks from Square Enix role-playing games for seasonally themed reinterpretations. Arrangements for the album are by Naoshi Mizuta, Yasuhiro Yamanaka, Tsuyoshi Sekito, Hirosato Noda, Ryo Yamazaki and Mitsuto Suzuki.

The album concludes with the previously recorded orchestral arrangement "Chocobo's Happy Christmas" from Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon by Masashi Hamauzu. The single is available for streaming on Spotify. The compact disc ships domestically from distributor CDJapan.

The X'mas Collections compilation was followed in the winter of 2013 by the second installment in the album series. The following year, Square Enix published "X'mas Collections music from Bravely Default."
