Default Re: Final Fantasy Boxed Guide Set (VII, VIII, IX)

Yeah, I wondered that, but the prototype in the case picture that Barran gave doesn't say anything about "HD Remasters"? My thoughts were that it could just be Prima realizing that they can make a killing in the Hardcover Collector Edition guide market and decided rather than waiting for new game releases to come out, that they'd go back and make some for some older fan-favorites and cash-in all year long? I mean, they're the company that's releasing the $120 Limited LIMITED edition guides for AC:Unity and Dragon Age:Inquisition this year as well... maybe somebody at the helm just wanted to go CE-guide crazy and see its effects on annual revenue?

Oh yeah I totally agree, there are zero markings on the books to indicate any HD remasters and I doubt they'll remake those games anytime soon! They're definitely cashing in on some nostalgia, but I think $80-90 is a really good price considering what's included, and I'd be in if they did more stuff like this

Wait what..... $120?? I hadn't seen those yet, that sounds sickening

Oh by the way guys the price has dropped again on amazon, its down to $78 now! Cancelled my previous order and bought it again at the lower price

Thanks for telling us .. "Lol , This is my 2nd cancel "
For me since i'm not in the USA
They will charge me 50$ for shipping .
So every time they drop the price , it will be good for me
For now the price is good .
I can't resist anything FF related . I really love FF8
It have a special place in my heart for a lot of
Reasons . And i wish they make more stuff for it.

I know how you feel mate, collecting is VERY expensive for us living in Australia, as everything has to be shipping in from overseas It is really $50 for you though? They only charged me $10 to get it to Australia.

Cheers to Knight for telling us about it too
