Final Fantasy XIII Special Limited Collector's Edition????? - Gaming Union Forums

camilomf · 01-14-2010, 12:21 AM

I was really hoping this 13th would bring us news of a collector's edition. I mean seriously!!! they've announced it for Europe, why not the US as well? Limited Editions seem to sell really well, and this is such an anticipated title. They did it for XII, why not for XIII Square Enix?

I for one will be soooooooo disappointed if I have to get the regular plastic-case bonus-less edition come this March 9th.....

If you are getting it on the PS3 and there is no collectors edition for the US, you can always import the game from the UK.

However, I would be very surprised if there isn't one announced for you Americans.

Also, welcome to Gaming Union. Need help with anything don't hesitate to ask myself or any other member of staff

I definitely think it will be announced at some point. Knowing how it goes, you guys will probably get something extra special, and Europe will fall back into being the ones who draw the short straw.

And welcome!

I sincerely hope you guys are right! And thanks for the warm welcome!

A couple of things... The UK did get a special edition of FF Crisis core that never made it to the US. Since that was the last FF release, I just worry that's a decision that SE will carry over to FF13.... it does seem a bit odd that they haven't announced it yet, seeing that all big retailers already have set up their pre-ordering schemes... Why would they be holding on to that info?

As for the importing. I thought about that, but would it run on my US NTSC (60 gig) PS3? And even if it does, I've waited for this game long enough, I want it DAY 1!!!! I wonder how expensive and how much time importing would take.

As for the US getting gaming's cream of the crop, I always thought Europe often gets better cover art, special EU exclusive deals (Little Big Planet anyone?), and don't get me started on SingStar support! Ha ha.

Let's see what February brings for FFXIII US special edition news.... I just thought it was strange there was no forum thread on the subject. Am I the only FF geek who wants a limited edition copy?

It is pretty strange to wait this long to announce a special edition. I agree

Absolutely. The PS3 is region free. It doesn't matter where you are from as long as you are using a HD TV.

And even if it does, I've waited for this game long enough, I want it DAY 1!!!! I wonder how expensive and how much time importing would take.

Importing the game will be more expensive and you will have to wait a few days. But, if you want that special edition and it's not available in NA there's not really many options left

As for the US getting gaming's cream of the crop, I always thought Europe often gets better cover art, special EU exclusive deals (Little Big Planet anyone?),
Well, LBP is an English game after all. It was probably just a shout-out to us from the developers
and don't get me started on SingStar support! Ha ha.

No... No you are not

Please find my answers in red

I also want to know what is included in the frigging thing! What is the point of announcing a Special Edition and then not saying what makes it so special? Grrrrrr I hate SE sometimes.

Edit: Correction: I hate SE almost all the time. :/

They might just wait for it to be released, so everyone buys the normal version, and then announce the special version, so all the mega fan boys/girls will then spend more money?

I dunno, hopefully they wont be that nasty, but we have always said they love their $$$/£££!!!

Anyway, dont think i've had the chance to welcome you. Welcome! ^,^

i can't really remember a collectors edition of an FF game state side other than FFXII which i bought and if theres a collectors FFXIII i will buy that one but are they gonna release the FFXIII PS3 in the US cause thats probably it for collector editions. the FFXII special edition was game stop only if i remember maybe that will happen again... i will continue to watch

gilburtgtr · 01-15-2010, 03:40 PM

@Anonjel - I certainly haven't heard that the FF XIII PS3 is getting any further than Japan, except for imports. I expect that there probably will be a FF XIII special edition worldwide.

camilomf · 01-15-2010, 03:43 PM

Thanks for the replies you guys!

And Anongel, I don't think Limited Editions were common before FFXII... They're so common this generation though, especially for AAA titles. It's true that the UK also got a special tin edition of New Super Mario WII, so maybe the limited edition trend is stronger in Europe.

If what Omen has said about PS3 worldwide compatibility (I hope so), and they don't offer a limited edition version here in the US, I think I'll bite the bullet and ask for a friend in London to pick it up for me day one and ship XTRA FAST delivery!!! I'll just have to wait for the days it takes to arrive...

I do still hope they release it in the US though! SQUEENIX & GAMESTOP can you hear us???
