GameTrigger and Queeny, I agree!!

[Twisted]

[Ayiu]

As a sealed collector all I need is a nice outer package :rotf:

Also I think it has potential :think:

Im not sure this will come back in stock to nippon-yasan. I actually had a chance to order the xbox one version when it went up but didnt want it and when i checked back in a couple minutes it was already unavailable. Pretty sure they are getting extremely small amounts of these as they are e-store exclusive. The 3ds FF Explorers e-store exclusive also went out of stock in an instant. EDIT: Got a response back from my ticket. "Thank you for your message. Unfortunately we cannot have more pre order. We apologize for the inconvenience."

You can still pre-order it in Nin-nin with slightly more expensive compare to nippon yassan that if you are looking for a PS4 version

Nvm shipping was around 35 which is what I figured nippon would be at. Thanks for posting this as I really wanted this edition. Back when Type-0 launched on PSP I was unable to get the awesome collecters edition so this will make up for it

Looks nice, do the old logins still work on it? I never PO'd that FFHD game and have been thinking about doing so -- I think I might just wait on it though and pick it up when it drops in price since they STILL haven't sold out of it on the SE store and there's no real reason I can see to get it day one now.

They said to create a new account. I did and pre-ordered the FF type-0 sound track. I'm going to try and pre-order soundtracks with final fantasy games now.:popcorn: I'm thinking about pre-ordering the strat guide..

[eternix]

If you order from Square Enix the payments for this will be taken between March 2nd through the 4th.

anyone here who has a spare pre-order for the European square enix shop Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Collector´s Edition? Xbox One only, please.

I'm still really debating about getting this FF, but 1) it has a steelbook and 2) its a FF for the Xbox so I kind of want to let them know that I support both of these choices and the only real way to do that is with my wallet... :think:

Does anyone know if Square-Enix Europe shop has gotten new stock on previous sold out Collector's Editions near / on the release date? I missed the Final Fantasy Type-0 HD CE with the exclusive cover and would be interested on buying it if they get more.

[Raven]

^ not sure what version you are after but if a XB1, then amazon.co.uk still has it. Although not as good as the one in the SE store but better than nothing. To my knowledge only when someone cancels I would keep a constant eye out.

Just found out too that all those that ordered from SE store will get a free 5'x7' artwork print (for those that didn't know)

[Kaikkipunaselle]

I have the basic CE pre-ordered via Finnish store. So I am just looking for the S-Enix shop exclusive box/cover and the print. :D

P.S mine order from SE EU store was posted yesterday :)

[KnightOfTruth]

really thought this was going to flop, but looks like its gotten a lot of positive reviews and such. Looks like I won't be able to wait til it drops in price. Guess I'll have to see if SE store still has one for the Xbox1 unless someone on here has a spare?

Played the PSP version myself so was already aware what I was expecting. Glad I pre-ordered though, looking forward to getting my hands on the steelbook! (got one from GAME/Amazon.de and gold CE one - intended to keep GAME one but selling the game and code for FF15)

My hardcover guide came today and to my surprise, contained a nice lithograph too

Received my EU collectors edition today and I'm very happy with it. For my own surprise even the manga book is localized into german. I thought it was all in english, which would be totally fine. Very nice. :)

Sorry for late reply

It's card but texture feels like hmmm. wallpaper? :lmao:

But woot! my GAME steelbook has just arrived and can be opened in a way that keeps the original cellophane protecting the sleeve (not like i don't have sleeves to protect them anyway =p) But I'm really digging this steel.

Managed to keep the cellophane on the plastic sleeve too.

Much prefer this version, nicely presented. I believe the video before from square enix portal (very first one) earlier in the thread was for the standard CE where everything was just jammed in O.o Glad I got the SE store compared to the standard CE :banana:

[eternix]

You are all making me jelly.:poke:

[KnightOfTruth]

Did you not order this Eternix?

I don't think we got a bonus litho did we? (US) I think the X1 version is still available on there, if so I'm going to be ordering one on Monday... hopefully it'll last since I didn't see anyone on here who had ordered 2 yet.

I did order it knight, it's just mine has not came in yet. I wish I could have kept my pre-orders for the Game uk steelbook and amazon uk edition.....but unexpected things happen.

Only differents in EU CE's is sleeve - SE one is transparent/plastic, "normal" one is made of paper.

Transparent is good for seeing more Amano art. Which is always awesome.:notworthy:

Ah thought it was exactly the same as the NA (just different art) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6U4Ntccr-U

But anyway glad it wasn't the one for NA, don't like how everything is just stuffed up inside =p

Yeah... I was disappointed in the box choice for the NA version. It didn't feel like a real CE boxing.

On the other hand, I felt no remorse peeling off the cellophane to load that puppy up. Haven't even played T-0 yet, the FFXV demo is gorgeous!

[CheapAssassin]

The EU and NA Collector's edition.. EU definitely looks more complete with that packaging..

[GP23]

And.. EU/NA both pale in comparison tot he Japanese version:

Perhaps in presentation. But the items inside look almost worse to me. Also that set is more expensive than EU/NA version.

[GP23]

Well.... they don't get the manga (but I think they've actually had them in other ways?)

The big letdown of the Japanese version is the lack of art book & steel book.

The outer box (sleeve) & inner box are much nicer.

Was that version mentioned anywhere on this site yet?? Seems like we're really slacking with a lot of these Japanese CEs lately, we need to recruit some more people from over there (or who search for CEs from Japan).

Someone posted about witcher 3 at play-asia. I wanted some infor about play-asia, and ended up checking out this site:

http://www.shopncsx.com/

Which apparently, is not a secret to collectors.. but eh. That's where I first noted the Japanese Ultimate Box version.

Nabbed the KAI Lightning returns from them... since it is $100.00 less than ebaying it.

Art book and manga was relased after original PSP game (2011) in Japan.

If people on this site actually cared about Japanese CEs enough this wouldn't be a problem. The reason the Japanese version was not mentioned and I never mentioned it was because it goes to show you how little most people did care for this. There is a lot of the lesser known American/eu games mainly for like ds, 3ds and VITA that no one really talks about ether because lack of interested on this site.


Gerald's normally updates with Jap CEs. Haven't seen him post any in a while though... 0.o

I stopped adding Japanese CEs alot time ago because Im sorry but most of this site doesnt care unless its some big name franchise that is popular outside Japan like this game. Its not a direction most of this site cares to go in so I gave up. YOu want more Japanese CEs on here then show some love and start increasing popularity of them other wise all the CEs this site cares for that are Japanese do not require my attention so I am not going to bother. It does matter how much I post outside the few select games franchises popular outside Japan NO ONE REALLY CARES!!. That is the number 1 reason I stopped. Also a lot of that stuff from Japan never gives much that people care for in a CE. It is normally just a CD or a wallscroll some times a coffee cup that do not often give statues or other goodies that people really want. People in Japan may actually care for the content on the CEs but it doesn't seem like people outside Japan even care much. Then you have CEs in the asian market and unless it a hugely popular franchise they normally if they get a CE just copy the Japanese or non Japanese CE then giving anything new. Most of them at least with Japanese games in the asian market they just do a 100% copied release don't even translate the game to Chinese/English. It released with same exact content all in Japanese just as released in Japan.

Got to agree, there is not much interest in Japanese games or CE in this forum, there is even lesser group that even import and play the games so geralds had no choice but to stop updating. Japanese CE releases almost every fortnight and if no one is going to appreciate it then geralds should not update it as it is crazy time consuming and geralds is a human too.

I really do care geralds about the Japan C.E. and exclusives..in fact I remember about 3 years ago, we had at least 3 people on this forum from Japan who were willing to export as well..but all 3 are gone :(..in fact one of the members during that time was gracious enough to get me a rare Japan C.E. "at cost"...and now it goes for 3-4 times that price on ebay...I also am fond of Japan Nintendo variants etc...honestly I don't care much for Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, or Call of Duty..because I think the brands have been diluted with the excessive releases and amount of swag..but Nintendo and some of their awesome Japan exclusive swag does pull on my heart strings...LOL..by all means Gerald, please do share more info about those rare DS/3DS editions for the US you mentioned :)

I bet the hole reason they left was because not many people care a small percentage if that even care. It is pretty clear that this site is never truely going to grow tword that this website isnt attracting many asian people and most of the people that care about that kind of stuff are not coming to this site. A lot of people into that kind of thing go to website more geared to that. Despite you may care people are just not vocal about it. Most of those CEs are not even rare or if they are just no one cares about them to be valuable. They probably will be later on after the systems become a collectors item just look at other nintendo stuff and its price these days.

Most Japanese CEs are not even that special let just make a sound track as ether in a CE or a preorder bonus ok time for a dx back ok then wallscroll and coffee cup. I have ranted about this in the past and i keep going over the same thing constant. Even if someone like you cares or the very small percentage of people care like you there is not enough love shown on this website for the games. I couldnt even begin to tell you about all the ds stuff or some of the 3DS stuff some of it was preorder bonus some of it especially some of the Japanese companies started doing website exclusives. Some of it was just first print that I no longer have the information for. Even in Europe there a crap ton of it for the same reason you would have to contact indavidual people from each country and hope you can find out more. The stuff is probably only hard the come by because again shows how much people cared. Even some of the rarest ps3 Japanese games or CEs have fallen by like 90% now that they are old the market outside Japan just doesnt care enough the only reason alot of the non Japanese market start caring about some games is because after items become a collectors item and people really want to own the game just for playing they just get the cheaper Japanese versions.

Like i have an extremely hard to find ps3 CE that you can look up online and you really can not find much about it at all it was just a preorder exclusive ce that again had no contact anyone cared for nor was it a popular series people collect for.

You are part of a very small percentage of this site its basically show its not going to grow in that direction go ells were. There is a lot of stuff that could be done to try and improve on it but there is no garantee that it will help much so why bother. If we tried and nothing improved that it would have just been a waist of time that could have been spent on something much better that this site could use to help it grow for what is making it grow. In a nut shell stop trying to force something that as has been proven so far is just not going to happen.

[GP23]

I gotta say, geralds is totally right there but, there are more factors than just content and franchise.

With the newer consoles doing away with region lock (PAL, NTSC-J), the interest may increase some. It will probably have a larger impact on hardware, rather than software, as the games themselves are still in Japanese.

Those are the kickers really, region lock and language. One can overlook the PAL/NTSC-US "barrier" due to the games being released in English (and several with multiple language support). Aside from that, the next biggest kicker is the price + shipping + import duties.

And like Letrico pointed out, Japanese CE's come out with ridiculous frequency.

I wouldn't expect any single person to keep updates on every CE or CE variant coming out of the Japanese market. Some major titles do deserve the attention (Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc...) but unless it is A: overwhelming popular &/or B: an over-the-top CE, I don't feel it would be worth the effort.

That isn't just this forum, but in general. From my few weeks here/lurking, I doubt there would be much interest in half of my collection... being vintage/rare and PC rather than console. I just don't feel that vibe.

Being a Final Fantasy fan since the SNES release and cemented with FFVII for the PS... I just thought I'd toss the Japanese version in this thread.

I do not think region locking has a hole lot to do with if anything at all. If someone cared enough to want to play the game then they would find away to get a round it. If they have no intention of play region lock really does not matter. Money I would agree if it wasn't for the fact iv seen people willing to throw tons of cash on say something AC related its all in what people are interested language barrier aside. If it was a language issue then no one would be interested in say no one would be interested in say a rusian or sweedish AC ce for example that can not speak said language. It has to be a world wide popular fanchise or have that content like a steelbook that people like for people to go apes shit over.

As you said only those big name Japanese franchises outside like Final Fantasy or Zelda are all that is worth talking about. Even if its over the top I really don't think anyone is going to really care unless its an internationally recognized franchise or has that one little tiny piece of content people cant live without like a steelbook then people will probably focus more on that then the content itself. More then likely at least on this website chances are people are not going to have much intention to play a game they can not understand anyway they just want it for the sake of owning it kind of thing.

More then likely at least on this website chances are people are not going to have much intention to play a game they can not understand anyway they just want it for the sake of owning it kind of thing.

I don't believe it is one singular thing. It is a combination of several. Scarcity, cost, subject matter, language, content, etc...

I can remember when ANYTHING from Japan was a amazing find. The internet has changed that a lot. The world was much smaller in the 80's & 90's.

Personal preference is another aspect. Some collectors want ever version of something, ever made, on every platform. Some only care about a specific platform. Some only care about specific regions. Etc... (That whole list of preferences is to big to tackle). For instance, I tend to get versions from the US and from the country of origin. (Though... I've really been thinking about the Japanese versions of x-com)

I don't think any one person should be soley responsible for a "collectible" from anywhere. It should be the fan(s) of a franchise/system who share the information and load. To me, it is less about having/being a reporter and more about sharing enthusiasm for something I like.

Sorry to interrupt the discussion, but I was wandering if anyone here would have a spare code for the FFV demo that they wouldn't mind giving away. Thanks in advance.

Edit: nevermind I already got one :)

Wow! Just have to say that the Pepita store deserves some sort of pat on the back or high-five for the packing on this item! I got mine in yesterday and the thing is easily one of the best well-done packed things I've ever purchased from a company ever! It looks like it had been done by one of our members on here (and then some!). Going to call/email them later today just to let them know that it was noticed and appreciated. It's like night and day compared to the things I've purchased from them in the past (and even recently). :thumb:

Not that I'm a huge manga fan or anything, but I really hope there's some difference between the CE one and this one. Hate it when companies do things like include something in a CE and then later on release just that thing for separate purchase -- sort of devalues the CE in my opinion.

I totally agree with you but I think it will be same as was in CE - they only add price and other info on (back) cover as is sold separtly.
