Final Fantasy: 25th Anniversary Ultimate Box announced

[Ryu Kazama]

It's Japan. That price is pretty decent given this fact. Still mighty expensive, I know.

Think back to FF Type-0. That was $200 just for that. Their Bravely Default edition is also high priced. None of this stuff is cheap in Japan and it's worse for SE's products (who charge above standard RRP for standard edition games, too).

They are old games, yes. But what the heck do you expect? On one hand someone moans they're not remastered and another someone will moan they're not the first format versions (NES, SNES etc). Can't keep 'em all happy.

Japanese products just aren't cheap. Games, music, movies. They're all expensive. That's how Japan is.

You also need to factor in they're using all new Amano art. As far as I am aware, this guy isn't cheap to hire (he's a freelancer now I recall). Not saying this alone justifies the cost but it does add to it. In the end it's a piece made for the fans to commemorate a milestone. By including all core FF games in one box is already a giant step better than the SF25th Anniversary box (love both as much as each other).
