Predicting another EB exclusive for $200+ down here...

[Twisted]

I am in for the steelbook version. I hope we see it everywhere not just on line store.

[Twisted]

WAIT!!!!???..no STEELBOOK ONLY version for the US market?

[trentd01]

Was hoping for a collector's edition -- pre-ordered.

[leonemesis]

Crap, I wish there was a steelbook only version for the US. All my Star Ocean games are US version, and I don´t want to spend 100+ on the CE. Oh well, standard version it is for me :shrug:

[Mike1888]

FYI, not sure if mentioned yet but I noticed on the playstation blog post it says the CE is limited to 7,500.

Awesomeness! Just 5 days after my Birthday :D

PS: Does Australia have any chance of getting the Collector's Edition?

I haven't heard anything, which is not confirming it won't either. *fingers crossed*

"We’re only selling 7,500 of these so you’ll definitely want to grab one if you’re into having awesome, limited things that people will be jealous of."
So actual print run can be higher...

Really hope this doesn't tank. I think Square Enix is testing the waters with this game for the new generation and as a result given a much lower budget

Which probably explains this (http://www.amazon.co.jp/-Integrity-Faithlessness-%E5%88%9D%E5%9B%9E%E7%94%9F%E7%94%A3%E7%89%B9%E5%8 5%B8%E3%80%8E%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A1%E3%83%AB%E3%82%AD% E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%83%95%E3%82 %A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%80%8F%E3%80%8E%E3%83%B4%E 3%82%A1%E3%83%AB%E3%82%AD%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83% 97%E3%83%AD%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB2-%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AB%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2%E3%8 0%8F%E3%82%AB%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%A0BGM%E3%83% 97%E3%83%AD%E3%83%80%E3%82%AF%E3%83%88%E3%82%B3%E3 %83%BC%E3%83%89%E5%90%8C%E6%A2%B1-%E3%80%90Amazon-co-jp%E9%99%90%E5%AE%9A%E3%80%91%E7%89%B9%E5%85%B8%E3 %80%8C%E6%88%A6%E4%B9%99%E5%A5%B3%E3%81%AE%E6%8C%8 7%E8%BC%AA%E3%80%8D%E3%81%8C%E6%89%8B%E3%81%AB%E5% 85%A5%E3%82%8B%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%83%80%E3%82%AF %E3%83%88%E3%82%B3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%ABPS4%E 7%94%A8%E3%83%86%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E4%BB%98/dp/B017AOPLUC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459972496&sr=8-2&keywords=star+ocean+5). Sales wise the first week in Japan was also good but not great, considering Star Ocean 4 sales was 166,027 on the 360 for Japan (http://kotaku.com/5159204/star-ocean-4-makes-strong-japanese-sales-debut-for-xbox-360-game). Current sales for this game is 113,022 on the PS4 (http://gematsu.com/2016/04/media-create-sales-32816-4316), considering the bad reviews, can't see that much more needed increase in sales for the PS3 version which is out later. Don't know if this is just wishful thinking that this is perhaps due to the lower PS4 adoption rate currently in Japan and lower marketing costs from budget? Think Microsoft marketed the hell out of Star Ocean 4 back in the day. I can really see this being slain in the west :sorry:

In regards to the CE, seems like a watered down version of the ultimate box + addition of steelbook for a much lower price. So literally minus figure and a demo of the OST. I really do hate sample soundtracks in a CE, makes the whole definition of a physical CE pointless. But will still buy to support this franchise - like final fantasy have fond memories of playing this back in the day!

Yeah can you link some of these reviews? I've only heard good things about the game aside from censorship complaints.

So this game got bad reviews in Japan?

Average score on Amazon.co.jp is 2.5/5
major complain is its shortness , around 20 hours for main story and 20 more for the optional stuff

[Nachtfalke]

Everything gets bad reviews on Amazon.co.jp for some reason. :think:
