This album is classified as "Limited Edition", but will be a regular edition release for this album?

Also, if an album is enclosed with the game package which is only purchasable from the specific store, it's suggested we select the "Retainer Bonus", but we can have a further discussion on it (Should we also consider Order of Ecclesia as a Retailer Bonus because the limited edition was exclusively sold at Konamistyle?). In this case it's ebiten and Amazon. I'm not sure why Amazon stocks an ebiten exclusive-item and how it affects our decision on the classification of Release Type.

It still has to be given as a bonus with something else (like the game) to qualify as a retailer bonus.

A clarification (which I posted in the other thread as well):

Quote:
I should clarify that if the limited edition package is available only through a certain retailer, it should just be "limited edition bonus" since it's provided with all copies of the limited edition.

"Retailer bonus" should only be used if it's possible to obtain the package without the particular bonus. Or if it's explicitly stated as such.

Sure, so this entry has to be "Enclosure".
