Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

Oh my... I really enjoyed looking through those pics - thanks so much for sharing them!!

Thanks Mags, very pleased you enjoyed the photos too.

Definitely nicer when you get signed stuff. I got a few signed things by Nobuo Uematsu (composer for most of the Final Fantasy music) too when I was at Distant Worlds and the recent Final Fantasy concert in London too.

Also managed to get VIP tickets for this year's Distant Worlds in November.

Bet you're looking forward to that - seems you have a cool group of friends that enjoy the same things? Even better

Nice to 'meet' you in the pic by the way

I am fortunate to have a bunch of FF groups and meet with them when there is an event going on, they are scattered across the UK and some are from abroad too.

Very nice to meet you too, still haven't booked time off work for Comic Con and looking unlikely as I have to work late that evening and Saturday. :/

Although a lot of people dislike the FF13 series, I like it and it is the game that got me back into gaming and more importantly, it got me into collecting Final Fantasy stuff.

Trying not to derail this thread.

thanks for sharing these neat pictures!!!..i think the GOLD marker is very complimentary for the signatures and works well with the color palette of the artwork.

I was going to go buy some Gold and Silver Sharpie pens but luckily I was told they would have these.

Usually I would be worried they would have blobs and not dry but these came out really well. I made sure the steelbook was dry before I even attempted to put the slipcase back on.

Yay I managed to get a copy of the collectors edition. Found a buyer on ebay in Australia so didn't have to pay a fortune in postage, just a fortune to buy the game... but its worth it, looking forward to opening it up and checking out the book and watch
Also got a steelbook locally without having to get the game so happy with that. Love the collectors edition strategy guide too, looks great.
Now to get the standard local release of game when its down to bargain basement price and ill be set for my FFXIII collection.

Please note that the full game with instruction booklet is inside the steelbook in the UK. The other case was a display one, should have went back to get that signed too. Damn!

The autograph on the steelbook cover doesn't look good on it.

Now you can't see clearly the wonderful design of the steelbook.

That's OK, I have the Xbox 360 G1 steelbook too (unsigned) so have that to admire as it has a bit more artwork on the top and bottom of the steelbook.

I'll take a photo tonight to compare side by side.

Ah okay I just thought it would be better if the autograph is signed on the slipcover and not on the cover of the steelbook.
