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

So, in a strange listing, it looks like Prima is releasing a VERY expensive Boxed Set of Guides for Final Fantasy VII, VIII, & IX. MSRP is $129.99 and the release date is November 4, 2014

Gamestop and Amazon currently have pre-orders available.

Picture (credit to GameTrigger):



Actual Picture (credit to Barran):



Preorders:
Gamestop - ($129.99)
Amazon - (price at time of posting = ~$85)

Here's what's included:
*The Final Fantasy Box Set is a must have for fans of this beloved series.
*The set includes hardcover versions of Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX, each comes with a ribbon bookmark and deluxe cover treatment.
*Each guide has been redesigned from scratch and updated with new high resolution screen shots. In addition, the set comes with three iconic game images printed for first time as holographic lithographs.
*The three holographic prints are secured in a beautiful slipcase with magnetic closure.


It seems odd to re-release some hardcover guides for 15+ year old games, so I wonder if this is some precursor to some HD remakes of these games and was an "oops" by Prima??

Not sure on the HD remake side of it all. I'm sure someone high up at Square Enix said the cost and time it would take just to make a FF7 was quite a lot, and is the main reason they haven't done it already.

Maybe it has something to do with releasing them on PS4 or something? Sony patented some sort of retro achievement thing which also allowed them to set scenarios on old games or something like that.

Or maybe they just thought it'd be nice for fans

Nice looking set, but who needs a guide for those games? Yeah I know it's more of a collectors thing, but why guides? Pricey too.

It is actually not that expensive. One ce guide usually is around 30-40 plus this is fitted into a special slip cover for all 3 books so pretty decent. Best price from amazon.ca

It's discounted to $85 in the Amazon link in the OP, seems like a pretty good price for three CE guides! Always loved FF7 and 8 so this is a must have for me
