Agarest: Generation of War Zero Collector’s Edition Euro PAL exclusive

[gurpswoo1]

This sort of came out of the blue but it looks like Europe will be getting the Collector's Edition treatment for the recently announce Agarest: Generation of War Zero.

The Collector's Edition will contain the following:


Blu-ray PS3 game (with double sided inlay + colour manual)

A3 double sided poster showing on one side the concept drawing of the image used on the inlay and on the other the finished coloured artwork

Agarest: GoWZ Original Soundtrack.

3 x 3D lenticular art cards

All of this will be packaged neatly in to a Collector’s Edition box.

Also if you pre-order the game direct from the publisher (Ghostlight), you have the  option to also purchase a Limited Edition Black T-shirt (original design to Ghostlight Smile).

Currently only the PS3 version is confirmed with Ghostlight yet to secure the rights to the Xbox 360 version.

As of yet only the UK is confirmed but other European countries are expected to get this, be on the lookout.

There is currently no confirmed release date.

Pre-orders will take place soon, for those in the UK who want to get the limited Edition T-shirt. You will be able to pre-order from the Ghostlight website here: Agarest: Generation of War Zero Collector’s Edition +  T-Shirt (http://www.ghostlight.uk.com/games/sony-ps3/agarest-generations-of-war-zero-collectors-ed-tshirt.html)

will be getting this :)

It certainly did come out of the blue!

I would be interested in this, but I would like to make sure that there's not going to be an X360 version before I commit myself to the PS3 version. Please keep us notified, especially if an X360 version is announced. Confirmation either way would be appreciated

Unfortunately at the moment there are no plans for a Xbox 360 release.

I can confirm however that this collector's edition is available through our webstore throughout the PAL region.

^ thanks for the update, Do you know when pre-orders are opening? Also do you have any idea on the numbers being produced.

Many thanks

No sorry. You best bet is to keep an eye on the Ghostlight blog at http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/

or follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/Ghostlight_Ross

Ok, thanks for that info. Does that mean that there might be an Xbox version after the release of the PS3 version, or is an Xbox version unlikely at all?

Is this the only place we will be able to pre-order this CE, or will it also be available from other retailers, sans the T-shirt?

I'd say its unlikely that thre will be an Xbox version. The Collectors edition will be available from other retailers without the T-Shirt

Ok, thanks for the reassurance. I look forward to when pre-orders go live, and will most likely order from your site as I really do like the look of that T-shirt!

The artwork looks amazing, and will be nice to have alongside the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus CE artwork!

[ghostlight_ross]

Just to let you guys know pre-orders have now gone live http://www.ghostlight.uk.com/games/sony-ps3/agarest-generations-of-war-zero-collectors-ed-tshirt.html

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks for the heads up, ordered. Although still nothing from the UK retailers, not even the normal version.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

ShopTo.net have this up and ready to pre-order for only £29.84!

GAME / Gamestation have yet to add this game to their system, and is also not on the HMV database either. Expect these to follow shortly

[gurpswoo1]

Game have now listed this for £29.99, same price as Shopto.net.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

As nice as the T shirt is, I think I will stick to ordering from GAME for the cheaper price. I can't justify paying an extra tenner for a separate T shirt which isn't even my size!

[ghostlight_ross]

Sorry everyone. We've had to delay the game until august due to manufacturing issues. I'll let you know when we have an exact release date.

Thanks for the confirmation, this seems to happen frequently though when a Gostlight edition is offered. Hopefully there won't be anymore delays :)

Just to let you guys know pre-orders have now gone live http://www.ghostlight.uk.com/games/sony-ps3/agarest-generations-of-war-zero-collectors-ed-tshirt.html

Do you ship it outside of UK? Specifically N. America?

Sorry due to various agreements we cannot ship orders through our website to North America.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Are you able to tell us exactly when in August? 5th? 12th? Later than that?

[ghostlight_ross]

I don't have an exact date yet. But I'll let you know when I get one.

[scourdx]

Sorry due to various agreements we cannot ship orders through our website to North America.

Aww...that's too bad. :sorry:

[ghostlight_ross]

Aww...that's too bad. :sorry:

While you won't get the T-Shirt I suspect some of the UK based retailers such as Game.co.uk, Amazon.co.uk, shop-to.net e.t.c will ship to the US. It's not something I've ever looked into myself though.

[ghostlight_ross]

I'll be quick because its my day off and I'm going out soon but we've posted an update to the Agarest Zero situation at http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/a-brief-update-on-agarest-generations-of-war-zero

[ghostlight_ross]

It's been a bit of a nightmare but we're now shipping out pre-orders.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I was led to believe the release date had been put back until 26th August, but I have now received an eMail from GAME stating that the release has now been put back yet again to the 2nd of September. Is this accurate? And will this be the last delay?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Ok, earlier I get an eMail from GAME stating the release date has been put back until the 2nd of September, and now I have another one stating it is being processed for dispatch!?

As you may already be aware, the UK release date for Agarest: Generations Of War ZERO Collectors Edition has changed to 02-Sep-2011. Changes to release dates are relatively common in the videogames industry and are unfortunately beyond our control.
I am delighted to let you know that your Preorder for Agarest: Generations Of War ZERO Collectors Edition is now being processed subject to successful payment being taken from your credit card when it is dispatched. The order will be despatched by your chosen delivery method in time to reach you for the day of release.

I've heard about that from other people as well. I'm not quite sure what happened there but I'm glad it got sent out.

I received an e-mail yesterday saying the game was already sent. Yet, I received the game two days ago :D

EDIT: Wait a second, did I just read the orders were shipped on 23rd, last Tuesday? But you started shipping the games before that am I right? Cause I am from Portugal and got mine on 24th :huh:

We started shipping the first few orders on the 22nd but most were shipped on the 23rd. Glad to hear it turned up anyway :)

[Matrix6]

Yay, mine arrived today! ^_^

Really awesome shirt! Too bad it's too big for me, next time I won't bother preordering if it's just for a shirt that won't fit me. I could have just saved more than twenty dollars instead without the shirt :)

[ghostlight_ross]

Well Trails in the Sky is getting an A1 Rolled Poster http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/trails-in-the-sky-collector-s-edition-announced as the pre-order bonus if you order with us.

[Matrix6]

wow, that's a pretty generous sized poster (whatever it'll look like)
I don't often get many PSP games, mostly the FF series.

I guess it'll all depend on the pricing as we get TAXED for odering at the site along with the postage and handling...which I've never encountered before. May as well just include the cost in the P&H. I'll just wait and see, thanks for the heads up. :)

It's my favourite game out of all the ones we've done :)

[Matrix6]

Lol, I've never even heard of that game before you mentioned it. I wouldn't mind all those Atelier & Agarest art books though :D

[Lemur]

Any idea if this is gonna be as rare as the 1st one? I'm thinking not cos this time around the US got a CE for PS3 as well.

Maybe Ghostlight_Ross can answer this :p

I'd guess not as there is no Standard Edition this time so we're printing more Collectors.

[Lemur]

Wow only collector editions. Not sure I've ever seen a game with no standard edition. You guys are the 1st! :clap:

[tallkid123]

They're not. Check out Square-Enix's recent PSP CEs. A lot of them came as only CE first before standard editions started popping up gradually afterwards.

Actually, since this is the Agarest thread, I've always wondered something.

I have a copy of the first Agarest: Generations of War CE and it has the Australian OFLC rating all over it yet I don't ever recall this CE (or this game) ever getting a local release in my country?

Did Agarest actually get an official Australian release or was the rating just tacked on the CD and box and forgotten about like practically every Wii game in existence to cut production costs for PAL territories?

[gurpswoo1]

^ Well I know for the UK we got the game with both a PEGI and the German USK. It's standard practice for NIS America games.

Officially it was released in AUS as it does have two different age ratings.

I believe it was. I was only doing testing at the time though so I didn't really get told much.

[Slybaoth]

Update of this thread for that :

A new limited (15) collector for Agarest Zero (http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/ghostlight-to-offer-framed-agarest-generations-of-war-zero-collector-s-editions)

[gurpswoo1]

Oh wow £500, considering they are restricted to just 15 and signed by artist. I can see why it's so much.

Not cheap to get it professionally framed either

[Fitzgera1d]

Anyone know where I can get a copy of this game?

Anywhere else besides zavvi or ebay? I heard too many bad reviews about zavvi and their packaging.

Choose the amazon.co.uk not other sellers, sorry unsure if they ship to US though

Also http://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/VideoGames0hhsmbr0j9/ cheaper but again sorry not sure if ship to US; I haven't used Gameseek so not sure how they are but you can often get some hard to get stuff off them for somewhat higher price yet sometimes they are cheap

Out of topic shopto doing pre-orders for #2 cheaper than play.com and amazon is not listed yet - http://www.shopto.net/PS3/VIDEO%20GAMES/PS3AG04-Agarest%20Generations%20of%20War%202%20Collectors% 20Edition.html =p

Edit: game seek does - USA & Rest of the World: Shipping is £4.99 per item
(http://www.gameseek.co.uk/order.php)

[Fitzgera1d]

sweet, thanks.

[gurpswoo1]

Amazon UK do not ship out of Europe

The Zavvi group,
The Base group
the GAME group
HMV

Are the main ones that ship worldwide.

Also Play-Asia now ship European games to US

as far as I know it hasn't happened...

[gurpswoo1]

I just asked Ross via twitter, should come back to me tomorrow.

[Saturn]

I love the initiative, but I hate the price. Someone like me can't pay that price even though I'd like to have it :(
