Haha yeah that's what I thought too, I was pretty hesitant at the original price! Been think about going back and replaying 7 and 8, so couldn't have been more perfect timing for these to come out

It is a bit of strange time to release these unless they're doing HD remasters, but the original guides have been out of print so long that they're pretty hard to find, so I'm really glad they're printing these!!

I don't think its really worth waiting to see if they drop the price further, $85 seems like a really good deal for 3 CE guides.

I canceled my first pre-order since the price didn't change
And pre-order it again .
I would love to wait for the price to drop down but i'm afraid it will sold
Out .

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. I mean, the Slipcase edition of Sky plummeted in price (which I benefited from), but the original edition sold out right away and skyrocketed in price. Obviously that was a bit more of a collector's item than this, but it still makes me wonder.

I imagine there'll be a few left at Gamestops around the country from cancelled pre-orders and such, but with something like this I'm not sure if I'd want to take the chance that it'll be gone and have to someday get it of eBay? (especially now that I've got some extra Amazon credit!)

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

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

Same for me too, FF8 was my first Final Fantasy and still my favorite

Why do you have to cancel and re-order? They will automatically adjust the price of your order to the lowest price while you had it pre-ordered...
