Crystal seems a great deal @ Game - thanks...this place will cost me a divorce!

I was about to say "*facepalm* are they kidding me again? same shit as last time" Until i saw that the Crystal Edition has the full soundtrack. If It's the limited edition of the soundtrack, then maybe it's somehow worth buying, but still £80 is a lot for no exclusive content except some t-shirt I could probably order to make better myself.
The preorder pack looks sweet though, but I don't get it, why doesn't it contain the game?
The novella should be available in all editions, or at least in crystal.

There goes my dreams of a figure T_T... I'll try to grab the crystal edition and preorder pack, and i'll save buying the standard LE for when it's priced £20, because it probably won't be limited at all.

you're already getting the game, the steelbook is just an added bonus if you pre-order...seems a great deal, sure the extra content for £20 more is debatable (though overall I'd suggest worth it for a fan) but the pre-order bonus from game makes it a good deal without doubt IMHO

The pre-order pack comes separately so they can give it to all editions. I agree it should be in both edition as standard though.

Also you can get the pre-order pack with just a normal copy of the game.

I presume the 4 disc soundtrack will be the standard original soundtrack but those details will come later and will be able to confirm then.

I too was hoping for a figurine, but I guess they will milk the release with their usual play-arts figurines.

When is this to be released again, it is 2012 isn't it? xx

I call a figurine with the 3rd unannounced edition

No official release date, likely 2012 though.

While that would be cool in a nutshell but I hope not. Play Arts Kai Final Fantasy figurines have ugly joints.

Yeah, I thought that too, unfortunately, but i still have hope it's the LE soundtrack, the way they emphasized the fact that it has

premium digipak packaging.

like it was something special confuses me. Then again they may mean it as in opposition to the poor cardboard sleeve the demo soundtrack has.
But the Type-0 CE has the limited soundtrack. I know it's Japan but still...something that is £80 should have at least that much.

Does it mean it's only available from the UK, or that they won't ship it to international customers ? Because that would be an enormous pain in the ass...

That's why they are "play arts" figurines. They are supposed to be posable.
