The announcement specifically calls out the music fromKingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue,Kingdom Hearts Union X, and theKingdom Hearts 3 Re: MindDLC.
According to Square Enix, theKingdom Hearts 3soundtrack will cost 12,000 yen, which translates to roughly $115 before tax. Fans should be used to paying premium prices on JRPG merchandise, though, especially considering theFinal Fantasy 7watchesthat Square sold for over $2,000.
