$280 for the collectors edition OL, $280. But it will be truly collectable with only 30,000 made world wide, and it would seem all regions are getting the same CE's.
At any rate, holy media over load, they must really think they have a hit game with all this excessive promotion material, or thats just what they want us to think, A CG movie, an anime, smart phone games, demo that carries over certain data (about the only acceptable one imo) its too much and feels forceful. I think they need to prioritize earning their fans back and making a great game rather than bombarding us with all this material to try to generate hype. Needless to say I'm not buying it for a second how ever I guess their attempt does make sense considering many people have forgotten and are unsure or just indifferent about the game itself. I would have much prefered a good game first THEN maybe all of this other stuff after, its just like... whoa, WHOA one thing at a time here Square, dont forget you have alot to earn back dont get cocky.
Anyway as for the game itself I must say the visuals and evironments are stunning. Alot of that game footage is just magical to watch, and it seems there are so many options they might work as quick sand. Still I just cant help but be cautious and there is still not way in hell im pre-ordering this thing or buying it day one. Reviews and opinions are absolutely necessary although I know thats not what square wants anyone to hear, but facts remain facts (for me at least). I will probably give this new demo a whirl at some point before the release of the game then wait to hear from some credible sources about what they think of it and make a decision from there. As for now I still think the game could be too over the top for my taste and the Final Fantasy series in general, this world looks painfully huge (guess it should be after 10 years in development). I wonder how long the game actually is, and how long it is if you cover all the ground in the game? Will this be squares attempt at doing a JRPG x WRPG cross over? It seems like that could be. I'll wait on reviews with an open mind.
