    Wrong. With our tax added on, we would be expected to pay around £105 from the Euro/Dollar price of the game. If you're then saying we're paying £25 per unit extra for shipping into the U.K. for SE EU to then distribute the copies that's ridiculous. Why should we be paying almost 50% more than any other region just because we have a strong currency? Simple answer, we shouldn't. Imagine the outrage and instant-fix if you were paying $185 for your expansion pack, and we were paying £130, but wait. That would be fair.

    Edit: Also to mention that every other item in their Square Enix Store is calculated properly with the exchange rate. We pay the correct amount on all other goods on SE Store, except the Physical FFXIV CE? What does that tell you. They do it because they can get away with it. People who are saying "Vote with your wallets". I'm afraid that's a moot point, unless you're happy in mind that you personally didn't obtain a Physical CE and you have the higher morales. I don't want to pay the £130, but I will pay the £130, I want the Physical CE, and if I don't buy it, someone else will just buy my copy. That's the sad part of it, being a personal 1 man army against this kind of thing won't make a bit of difference, and we can only make our voices and complaints heard.
