    Hi lolnin,

    Sorry for the delay in responding to you! The FINAL FANTASY XIV Game of the Year edition is only planned to be released in European territories and there are currently no plans to release it in North America. Also, for your reference, this edition of the game is not a Collector's Edition and will not include the CE-related items.

    Lol, Bayohne, this is just like Nintendo screwing over the US with the Collector's Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (for the 3DS). I don't know why marketing and PR is better in the European territories ;-(

    If i were to hazard a guess it's a combination of a recession fo japanses pop culture (partuclay anime) in America and Europe getting the short of of the stick for years when it coems to games (and anime)

    because their restrictions aren't that great. ESRB is crap and deters a lot of gaming industries from doing business over here.

    and then we have like other people mentions. certain things are just more popular over there.

    plus most NA inhabitants are quite lazy. even the ones that say, "do work, son".

    That is once again a shame. If you are going to have a game thats available in various countries, all its merchandise should ALSO be available in those countries. This should include GOTY editions, as well as novelty items like books, plushies, and other knicknacks. Please tell your marketing and PR teams this. They aren't doing a very good job accomodating all of the XIV'ers right now.
