I own all those limited editions.

If you don't want to believe me, you can also look at websites reporting the releases at the time: https://www.4gamer.net/games/000/G00...0011128194700/
Or alternatively, look at pictures of people selling those games.

As you can see, Ys Healing was included too. (No clue why the 21st is listed here, instead of the 20th, as it should be.)

If the exact same album was also included as an enclosure, perhaps it's best to put a note stating "Also included with such-and-such version of the game."

Yay, we are getting closer to what I initially asked. The point I'm making is that it should be put in the "enclosure" category since the game (big budget, advertisement etc) is the main release (with the music CD being part of the limited edition) and the music (separate) is an accompanying release (just like game guides and similar things). Since the game is the priority release, the music CD would be treated as enclosure with a note stating that it was also released separately for X amount.
(Not to mention there can't be a game soundtrack without a game but there definitely can be a game without a game soundtrack.)

However, my perspective comes from the game/neutral side. If the music side matters above all, then it would make sense to only really pay attention to the separate release, ignoring what's connected with it/how it came to be.
