Bump of Chicken is providing the theme song “Zero” for Final Fantasy Type-0. Normally, a major musical tie-up would result in a CD single release for the theme song. That’s going to happen here too, but Square Enix is going a bit farther than usual with its promotions.

First and foremost is the cover for the single’s limited edition:

If it looks a bit like a Final Fantasy cover, that’s because it’s a Yoshitaka Amano illustration. This is the first time Amano’s artwork has been used on a CD jacket as part of a game collaboration, Square Enix said.

Joining the Amano cover, the limited edition will include a DVD with special videos produced by the game’s staff. The Zero single will be released on October 5, just ahead of Type-0′s October 13 release. The limited edition, in production through January 2012, will sell for ¥1,500. In addition to the DVD and the Amano cover, it includes three songs: Zero, Smile and Zero “Final Fantasy Type-0″ Opening Version. The standard version of the single will sell for ¥1,050. It includes just the first two songs and will have original Bump of Chicken cover art.
