More Final Fantasy XV Ultimate Collector's Editions are Incoming, Says Square Enix

....Still waiting...

Doesn't really interest me. Not for that kinda money . I'll probably be keeping my money for a 4k ps4 if it comes out

BREAKING NEWS!
PlatinumGames president and CEO Minami has resigned!

Now back to these worthless news about FFXV...

I liked the Audi FF edition but I doubt I will buy the game. Can't ever see myself seeing let alone owning the Audi...

I think I'll cancel my CE then. Honestly the asking price is too steep, but since it was so limited I wanted to have it anyway, if they're gonna reprint it even before the game's out they might be sitting in the bargain bin by December.

This wouldn't be the first time I buy a CE which is grossly overpriced, to see them on Amazon a few months after launch for less than half of the initial asking price, Titanfall and Halo come to mind for example.

"Kingsglaive movie and game's anime series on Blu-ray"

If the PS4K exists this holiday, and it either streams in 4K or has a 4K UHD drive, then I expect both the movie and anime will be available in 4k, maybe as PS4K FFXV exclusive bundles for $500. It would help Sony differentiate between the PS4 and Xbox One versions. (And NX version I'm secretly hoping for knowing it has no chance.)

Of course many more people own 1080p tvs than 4k tvs now, so 4k versions may not be in high demand, but I feel like there will be a link between FFXV and PS4K, the timing can't be purely coincidental.

@Boerewors The Ultimate Edition is only available via Square Enix Online Store. Unless you're referring to third party sellers selling on Amazon?

Way too much money to spend for me.I have preorderd the deluxe edition which I I'll be happy with.
I like special editions of games but to be honest half the things that come with them I'll look at or use them once and that's it.Or won't even bother with.then once I've finished the game,sometimes I'll end up selling it anyway.Pretty pointless.

And people were buying them for $700 on eBay. Lol. Sucks for them

These will also probably be ebay exclusives

@WanderingBullet
I'm a FF fan, but I'm an even bigger Play Arts fan and collector. I have quite a lot of Play Arts Kai figures and tracking down the exclusive ones can be a real pain. So here we have a series of 4 figures, that obviously I want to complete. But one of them, arguably the most important one being Noctis, is only avaliable in this CE. If there are so little figures out there, the insane asking price is worth it for me, because I know that hunting down a Noctis in the future will cost me even more if it's so limited. The minute they start making more however, it isn't worth €269 to me no more, because the figure won't be as rare as I initially thought it was and I really feel scr*wed over now.

People always assume it's just resellers that hate reprints, but for me as a collector it's a pain as well. And it's not just availability, I'm always completely honest about that; the feeling of having something so many people want and that all my collector friends are jealous of feels pretty good tbh.

@Boerewors But don't you think that SE will eventually sell the Noctis figure separately?

Im extremely glad to hear this, I'm already determined to buy it so they can have my money. Yeah it is kind of a hefty price but a company that produces games I love put everything like time, money and their passion into this game. I'll gladly give them extra money to help out the cause. Its funny how I've been reading (on multiple sites not just this one) people feel like they're being screwed over, which is ridiculous because they havent taken your money yet and you can cancel your order anytime and go ahead and do it cause i don't really want have to wait any longer then September 30th.

Lol WOW

So, they lie to everyone and say "only 35k printed, get yours now!" And easily sell out.

Wait a few weeks. Then redact everything they promised to sell the first lot, in order to sell more.

What a joke. Don't tell people it's limited to 35k if it's not going to be.

@Cowboysfan-22 Yeah, and they knew this would happen.

@JaxonH @Boerewors Solution? Buy things based on their value to you, not to other people.

If it makes you feel any better, people who can only appreciate what they have if they know other peope hate them for it bug the hell out of me. So you'll always have at least one guy mad at you!

@Fath
I didn't buy one.

I just think it's garbage that they lie to consumers to sell out, then turn on a dime to sell more.

EDIT
And that's the issue. Whether or not people should buy one based on limited availability is beside the point. We could have an insightful discussion about the merits of why people purchase the things they do with the money they earn, but the fact remains that SE lied to consumers when they told them the run would be limited to the specified number.

It's almost $270. Too rich for my blood. I don't even know the game in itself is good or not. I have to admit I spend almost the same money on MGSV for the life sized bionic arm replica, which is iconic from various reasons. And also I am/was a big fan of the franchise. But this time, it's kind of a new IP, isn't it?

@JaxonH Ok, my apologies to you, I was painting with too broad a brush.

Speaking as someone who did buy one, though, I'm ok with this, even though they did commit to 35k. A number is just an arbitrary point, after all, signifying a vague sense of rarity, and this one was obsolete almost as soon as it left their mouth - while 35k might mean at least a day or two of sales under any orher circumstances, these sold out way too fast by any measure.

If (big as the "if" may be imho) we really want companies to hold to keeping a release at a certain level of rarity, a better system might be to hold open preorders for a preset window of time, to establish an objective, apples-to-apples measure of how difficult it is to score a copy. 35k of Final Fantasy, or 35k of Dark Souls, or 35k of Neptunia are going to have wildly different perceived rarities as they sell through, but an X-day preorder window will exclude all but the most Y percentage of hardcore fans with some shred of regularity.

And a 1-hour preorder window will be just too damn short under any circumstances.
