[Twisted]

this one is sweet!

[blueherring]

It appears you can't order from Square Enix to Australia?

[Twisted]

No..this one is for NORTH AMERICA ONLY..and they ONLY deliver in North America.

[MadMan5]

It appears you can't order from Square Enix to Australia?

I ordered one from them through PayPay mail to me all up came to $102 USD so my order is not going to be filled ?

[Likey]

I would also like to order this and from UK too.

$102 USD is pretty sweet.

[ingmar1988]

Is there any word on European edition?

[Ayiu]

Is there any word on European edition?

only steelbook version for Europe :(

"Additionally, I know a lot of you have been wondering about a possible Collector?s Edition here in Europe, like in North America. Unfortunately this won?t be available in Europe, but you can pre-order the Limited Edition Steelbook version, here (http://www.lightningreturns.com/preorder)."

I'm wishing so hard but with only 1 month left I doubt anything is coming.

[Letrico]

Lol limited edition steel book version. Its just a steelbook bonus.

[eternix]

[Artemisthemp]

Sadly no steelbook or Aerish outfit :(

[Letrico]

But does it have special packaging or just standard game with extra dlc?

[Artemisthemp]

No, unless you count Lightning Returns Nordic Edition as special

Update: I just discover that France/Belgium Square Enix store gives The Steelbook, Samurai Outfit and Cloud outfit - http://www.square-enix-boutique.com/playstation-3-lightning-returns-final-fantasy-xiii.html (just sad they doesn't ship to my country)

[KnightOfTruth]

Has anyone confirmed how the SE store does billing? Do I get charged immediately for this CE? Do they do a hold? Or is there no billing until it's shipped to me? Thanks for your prompt responses!

of course...shit digital river.

I have someone in the US who can help me get this.

Just wondering if someone can answer this for me:

I am in the UK, if I register an account on the NA Square Enix site and pay by PayPal, will this be allowed and set the shipping address to my friend in the US?

If not, then it sounds like he would need to create an account and pay on my behalf.

Yeap, just make sure you check the box where it says - Shipping address is different than billing

Darn, guess the won't be all the same size sitting next to each other, oh well :)

Did just read that the demo for LR:FFXIII-3 is available today. If you play it you can unlock a new weapon/outfit that'll carry over to the finished game. Also, Amazon is apparently offering exclusive DLC for pre-orders as well.

Source: Joystiq "If you need extra incentive beyond sheer curiousness, if you use the game's social media themed Outerworld service in the demo to submit a battle score, you'll unlock an outfit for Lightning based on Final Fantasy 6's Siegfried - the outfit transfers over to the full game. Meanwhile, PS3 players who just try the demo unlock an Utsusemi Samurai outfit for the main game too.

As if the returning heroine's wardrobe isn't already fit to burst, there's also news today of bonus Yuna garb with Amazon US pre-orders, along with the FF10 summoner's staff and victory pose. That's in addition to the Cloud-based pre-order bonuses, by the way."

[ceaddiction1228]

Is this u.s orders? For the extra outfits, how do u go about playing the demo, and is that the ce from amazon or just the regular edition

Yeah, download the demo either via Xbox Live or PSN. (Availability may vary). Also, the article did not specify regarding the bonus DLC which version to be pre-ordered, but since I don't believe you can pre-order the CE on amazon anyway it should be for the regular edition.

Also, I guess the CE GUIDE also has bonus outfit as stated above. But that is different.

Wow! That's pretty awesome! I've never actually won anything before (that didn't involve skill), would love to win this thing! Though not sure which system I'd pick - probably not the ps3 cuz then I'd have to start collecting all those CEs haha. Thanks for posting that!

[Artemisthemp]

Wish I could win the PS3, but I will be happy with just the T-shirt, but sadly ain't gonna happen, since I am European

Not long now! :v:

You are welcome KnightOfTruth!

[Cosmic_Link]

For those who are importing the CE for the 360, if you plan to play the game, you're going to need to purchase a copy of the game to go with your console region as this game has been region locked for the 360. :(

EH they still do region locking at this day of age? lol

[Cosmic_Link]

Yeah they do for XB360 and it's a new practice for Nintendo too with the 3DS. >.< Pointless thing to do. :(

[Letrico]

Doesn't make much sense. Do they do it for the previous 2 game?

They didn't for XIII, but they did for XIII-2. Had a feeling they were going to do the same for this one too... -_-

The gits!!! Bring out a stunning NA exclusive CE then region lock the game so you get to import the CE at great expense AND buy another copy of the game :banghead:

Yeah, but that was only the same for NA when we got the Crystal Ed for XIII-2. I was getting a PAL copy of the game anyway as I wanted the steelbook, which looks like it comes with the game inside... 0.o

Yes but I was ok with the crystal edition... :taunt:

:lmao:

What makes you think it comes inside the steel?? I reckon it will be a standard game with the steel cello wrapped to it...

Dunno, but that looks like a steelbook with the plastic slip case above it... 0.o I could wrong however. The OP hasn't replied yet since I asked. Lol

[Likey]

Yay, the steelbook has artwork inside. :)

[Cheshire-Grin]

Just managed to order my copy of this before the deadline for the competition. Got a friend in America to order it, so I'm still eligible, thankfully. XD I really want that shiny PS3.

[umbry1895]

It looks better than the US steelbook.

And to all those who said the game would be inside the steelbook.... :beee:

[Likey]

You know what? I should have been smart and got a bunch signed. :(

I had to rush from my lunch break to queue up, had to push in line to the front where my friends were but had no raffle ticket so I asked for one and got out somewhere in the middle.

With the raffle I won the Lightning Returns figurine and got that signed too.

Got my FF LR Ultimate Boxset signed as well as the CE game guide.

Happy days!

LOL..are you able to show us all of your "signed Lightning returns" items?...that would be really cool to look at!..LOL..i sooo envy you right now! that's awesome! you scored like that!..it makes game collecting even more fun and worthwhile!

[Sorvar]

I recently bought the Collector's Guide for Lightning Returns and it came with two DLC codes for the "Art of War" DLC, one for PS3 and one for xbox. As I'm only using the PS3 code I hope my xbox code can make someone else happy.

Some more information from the guide: This guide includes a unique code for free download of the "Art of War" DLC which comprises an outfit, weapon and shield.

The code itself: YQX7Y-PKFQD-GPXMK-JJXWY-WVDQZ

I hope this is the right threat to post this - but then again, free stuff is always in the right place!
Enjoy it!

Sorry for the delay, with so many LR threads it's hard to keep track.

OK, as promised here are some of the photos I have with signatures. Most of it is mine and a couple that aren't. I should post this on my own thread but it is nice to spam it here too.

Apologies for the photo size, I hope it's not too annoying.

Thanks Mags, very pleased you enjoyed the photos too. :)

Definitely nicer when you get signed stuff. I got a few signed things by Nobuo Uematsu (composer for most of the Final Fantasy music) too when I was at Distant Worlds and the recent Final Fantasy concert in London too.

Also managed to get VIP tickets for this year's Distant Worlds in November. :D

Bet you're looking forward to that - seems you have a cool group of friends that enjoy the same things? Even better

Nice to 'meet' you in the pic by the way ;)

[Likey]

I am fortunate to have a bunch of FF groups and meet with them when there is an event going on, they are scattered across the UK and some are from abroad too.

Very nice to meet you too, still haven't booked time off work for Comic Con and looking unlikely as I have to work late that evening and Saturday. :/

Although a lot of people dislike the FF13 series, I like it and it is the game that got me back into gaming and more importantly, it got me into collecting Final Fantasy stuff. :D

Trying not to derail this thread. :)

[Twisted]

thanks for sharing these neat pictures!!!..i think the GOLD marker is very complimentary for the signatures and works well with the color palette of the artwork.

[Likey]

I was going to go buy some Gold and Silver Sharpie pens but luckily I was told they would have these.

Usually I would be worried they would have blobs and not dry but these came out really well. I made sure the steelbook was dry before I even attempted to put the slipcase back on.

[blueherring]

Yay I managed to get a copy of the collectors edition. Found a buyer on ebay in Australia so didn't have to pay a fortune in postage, just a fortune to buy the game... but its worth it, looking forward to opening it up and checking out the book and watch :)
Also got a steelbook locally without having to get the game so happy with that. Love the collectors edition strategy guide too, looks great.
Now to get the standard local release of game when its down to bargain basement price and ill be set for my FFXIII collection.

The autograph on the steelbook cover doesn't look good on it.

Now you can't see clearly the wonderful design of the steelbook.

[Likey]

That's OK, I have the Xbox 360 G1 steelbook too (unsigned) so have that to admire as it has a bit more artwork on the top and bottom of the steelbook. :)

I'll take a photo tonight to compare side by side.

Ah okay I just thought it would be better if the autograph is signed on the slipcover and not on the cover of the steelbook.

[ingmar1988]

I like the autograph on the steelbook! I think on the slipcover will easy smudge and rub of.

[Likey]

I made sure mine was dried before I even attempted to slide the slipcase back on.

I heard others say they saw people sliding their slipcases on and it instantly smudged the signature lol.

It is almost identical to the ACIV pocket watch which, IMO, was superb quality for a preorder bonus, but, as a mainstay of a CE?!?! :shrug:

[Likey]

Wow a pocket watch was given as a pre-order bonus for AC? That's pretty incredible!

It was a French exclusive through Auchan (their asda equivalent....) really nice too and pretty limited - lots of preorders went without

It's a bit like the French exclusive signet ring for ACIII - way better quality then you'd ever expect :thumb:

[Likey]

I mainly wanted the LR CE because of the pocket watch. :)

My artbook dustcover wasn't aligned corrected to the spine so that was very annoying. Was tempted to get it replaced but would be far too much hassle as I'm in the UK.

Did anyone else get the same problem?
