For a statue of Zenos? Eh, I dunno. Personally think his design's too busy, and we know NOTHING about his character. Maybe if he has a good showing with his teased cameo in 3.55...

you know "nothing" about the character you named, but would gladly pay for the character you don't have a name for.

Well, at the very least, we've seen a short clip of her in action, and it was rather impressive. That's more than we've gotten for Zenos.

Also I'm like, 95% sure she's Yda.

Yes and? People buy anime figures just cause it's a cute girl/guy to add to the collection.

pfft...No..www. The price of this thing does not equal to value in a collector's market. Only reason you're be paying more is because of all the extra non-software stuff that's included.

Heavensward CE was about 130 bucks. It had:
- Heavensward disk.
- Heavensward Artbook.
- Eorzea in motion - A Realm Revisited. Bluray disk of cutscenes, YouTube videos, artworks and such.
- Dragon Mount figure. So called "Expertly Crafted".
- Griffin Mount digital content.
- Baron Helm digital content.
- Wind-up Kain digital content.

Stormblood CE is 200 bucks. It will have:
- Stormblood disk.
- Stormblood Artbook.
- Stormblood Sticker.
- Cloth map of Eorzea.
- Zenos yae Galvus figure. So called "Expertly Crafted".
- Syldra Mount digital content.
- Chicken Knife Red Mage weapon digital content.
- Wind-up Bartz digital content.
- A disk box that I have no idea what's in it. Another BluRay thingy? Whatever. Even if there's ARR+HW in it, it's a collector edition, so this is worth absolutly nothing for people who already have it.

I have absolutly no idea why there's this 70 bucks bump in prize compared to the Heavensward version. It just looks like pure greed as the two Collector's Editions are extremely similar in content.

Wonder if they'll have differences between the different region's CE, iirc last time the quality of Japan's was slightly better even though the price point was similar if not slightly cheaper (guess it depends on what currency you're converting from).

CE looks nice but I'm pretty sure my wife would make me commit seppuku in the living room XD. Will probably go digital CE again hehe.

Maybe not a $70 difference but imo looks like the statue is better quality.

The Dragon mount figure was also "good looking" back in the days when they showed it on stream and on pictures, before players actually received their Collector's Edition.
Trusting them would be very naive.

Yeah the statue does seem to be better quality. the one from HW was terrible quality and didn't line up correctly with the stand.

If we actually knew who the red girl was and she was the statue I'd buy it instantly. Zero interest in that statue with it, still have my map from a previous CE and without all the jobs announced I don't really feel hyped about stormblood.

Think I'll just get standard this time.
