Re: Does the diversification of a Gaming Franchise's Collectibles bother you?
I like to collect stuff for niche JRPGs (Also they are my favorite genre of games, duh!) because they have less stuff to collect and the stuff like Promos are much rarer due to being an niche. They also have cooler stuff that feels unique.
Expect for the big series like FF, DQ, MH, Tales ect. When sticking to one of big ones (Tales of Symphonia for me) STICK TO THAT ONE GAME ONLY OF THE SERIES AND NEW VERSIONS STUFF DOESN'T COUNT! So that at least you can sort of finish collecting it. Don't collect everything tho because some of it isn't really that interesting, don't collect for the sake of collecting. Just collect the stuff that interests you.
Because it's always cool to have an art book, game guide, some sort of poster, soundtrack (full soundtrack or at least has 95% of them, not some teaser soundtrack that has 5-10 songs when theres like 30+. 1st edition or rarest full soundtrack version if there is one) and some sort of unique center piece. That being some sort of cool promo item that is really big or has an limited print run or an Press Kit or an Standee. Or hell! Something you haven't seen anywhere else that isn't in someone else's collection on the net or the net itself. That you haven't seen on Ebay before and you buy it. Or something like the Wizard's Companion from Ni No Kuni. You get the idea. (Figures if you're into that sort of thing)
