JRPG Collector's editions

[geralds]

I cant call lunar star games or arcthe lad really ces as they were technically only released that way originally. They are special how ever as sense there release the games have been separated from there contents. Its kind of like a few Japanese ps3 games I have only come with ce based contents but that was the only way said game was really sold.

Hm that is true. I guess to me collector is any kind of huge package that people would love to buy complete in box, or to complete their own collection of that game in terms of some items that come with the game.

See, this comes down to a matter of semantics. What 'is' a CE? I only consider something a CE--or anything similar or related--if it is an actual 'edition' of a game. A lot of what was listed there are pre-order bonuses that are not contained within a game. They are not an edition; they don't change the actual game package itself. There are myriad other games that have had pre-order bonuses, but they just don't belong in something like this (Atelier Meruru and its artbook, Suikoden Tierkreis and its soundtrack, Eternal Poison and its artbook, etc). That would also go for Cross Edge and the Poster Boy set.

Prinny is an action platformer, not an RPG--regardless of the fact that it's based off of an RPG. I purposely left off Magna Carta 2 because this list is focused on ENglish releases. If we want to look at all the Asian releases for these games, then that would be an enormous amount of extras added to it. That would be a good separate list in-and-of-itself.

As for Annie, that is a bit of a nebulous situation. The Premium Figure Set is just the Japanese CE--like literally even the same box--with a US copy of the game plopped into it. I know NISA released it here, but it's still basically just the Japanese one. I could go ahead and add that, though, as that's a hard call to make.

I thought it was worth adding because the full game package (case/manual/discs) could be removed and easily sold separately. But that is a more nebulous situation, for sure.

I'm loving that list! It's very clean and organized. I'll start looking through to gather photos so that people can take a look at all of them. Thank you very much zaku

No problem! If you want to add links to photos of the games, then I could add you to the editing list. We could make a new column for photo links. I could take pictures of 90% of those, but that is just a little more hassle than I am willing to go through :3. lol

Alright, PM me your email address and I'll get you on as a collaborator. Once you are, then I can add you to the list for editing ability.
