This is what one of SE's twitter pages said to me regarding the matter earlier:
Apparently it is normal for companies to come up with one price then just shove a different currency sign in front of it.

As previously mentionned this is a fan account and not as official statement.
However what they said isn't wrong. It is fairly common now for publishers to only change the currency sign (and invoque more or less dubious reasons to do so) from dollars to euros to pounds... And keep the CE for themselves to avoid concurrency with a fair(ish) price.
Anyways I don't think the price will change unfortunately. So instead of pressing them to change it maybe we should try to ask when and where will the CE be available outside of SE's store? Their post said "for now", so we have reasons to believe maybe Amazon will have some CE in pre-orders within a few days' time.


This is the first publisher I've actually seen do this for a year+. Plenty used to do it a few years ago and then people got really angry with it and every one stopped.As previously mentionned this is a fan account and not as official statement.

I play a lot of JRPGs and VNs and EVERY SINGLE collector's sold by NISA Europe has the "lazy currency disease": Neptunia, Atelier, Danganronpa, Fairy Fencer F, and I can't list all of them. I stopped buying collector's for my favourite games because the prices in the UK (and let's be honest, euro-zone too) aren't fair. I though Heavensward would be different (didn't have much problem with SE prices in the past) but if they start doing it too I'll pass on the CE.
I don't mind spending lots of money, I'd gladly pay £500 if they make it worth it but enough is enough with screwing over EU/UK buyers.
the ARR physical CE was £41.99 for me through a third party retailer (GAME) at preorder. Was expectng roughly £90 for this one as it had the figure in it. not a blanket cost.I play a lot of JRPGs and VNs and EVERY SINGLE collector's sold by NISA Europe has the "lazy currency disease": Neptunia, Atelier, Danganronpa, Fairy Fencer F, and I can't list all of them.

Thing is, they're NOT screwing over the EU buyers - just the UK. It's almost £40 CHEAPER in Euro than in Pounds Sterling. It's only the fans in the UK that are getting shafted. I've bought CE of FF PC games since FFVII (with the mousemat)... this will probably be the first I can't buy.I play a lot of JRPGs and VNs and EVERY SINGLE collector's sold by NISA Europe has the "lazy currency disease": Neptunia, Atelier, Danganronpa, Fairy Fencer F, and I can't list all of them.

Is there any update on when pre-orders will be available for people with the Steam version? Will we get early access also?
