Final Fantasy Boxed Guide Set (VII, VIII, IX)

[KnightOfTruth]

So, in a strange listing, it looks like Prima is releasing a VERY expensive Boxed Set of Guides for Final Fantasy VII, VIII, & IX. MSRP is $129.99 and the release date is November 4, 2014

Gamestop and Amazon currently have pre-orders available.

Here's what's included:
*The Final Fantasy Box Set is a must have for fans of this beloved series.
*The set includes hardcover versions of Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX, each comes with a ribbon bookmark and deluxe cover treatment.
*Each guide has been redesigned from scratch and updated with new high resolution screen shots. In addition, the set comes with three iconic game images printed for first time as holographic lithographs.
*The three holographic prints are secured in a beautiful slipcase with magnetic closure.


It seems odd to re-release some hardcover guides for 15+ year old games, so I wonder if this is some precursor to some HD remakes of these games and was an "oops" by Prima??
