£130 =/= $130

The current pricing model that Square Enix has adopted is absolutely appalling.

Not just for Heavensward, but other recent games such as type-0 and KH2.5 remaster.

I can guarantee, with the price that was on the UK store this morning, a huge fraction of the people who had committed to buying the physical CE edition will now not buy it at all.

I've submitted a ticket to the support desk that has been escalated to the tier 3 support team and I am expecting a response today.

i agree,

as a diehard ff fan i have always bought ANY collectors edition physical without thought, but as much as im sitting here ready to pay that money, i just cant justify it, sadly it will be the first physical CE i have missed from FF but i already feel better at the amount of money im saving as i can now also pay for type 0 for what this would of cost.

if it was priced fairly then fine but not putting my money here, so will buy digital ce instead

Chill. Out. Everyone. This could very easily have just been a bug in their service and so they took it down for maintenance to fix it before anyone bought it for the wrong price. This can happen, coding is difficult when multi-regions are involved. Just have some patience.

Yes I just responded to you on Reddit. I think what you're saying is really unlikely.

I've been in the regional UI-business, and developed a lot of code that had to account for regional pricing, symbols, and conversion rates. It is the biggest nightmare to deal with, and prone to errors. I would suspend judgement until someone can even confirm anything on the site once it's fixed and back up.

Im hopeful too the, wonderful world of code is hard to learn. and also a nightmare when it comes to the case sesetivity :S

£130? Really... converting that to € will be expensive as hell too... No way... I will have to wait and see because I am used to buy all games on amazon.uk.

Specially when £ currency got higher compared to €/$

I hope they fix that typo.

130.00 USD = 87.9186 GBP
130.00 GBP = 182.404 EUR

Based on xe.com at the moment. 182€.............! SE no comments... That is +50€ for europeans and +40£ for UK.

So we could expect to see in the stores at 88 or 90£ the best not that horrible 130£.

I'm in the US and I'm also not planning on purchasing the CE, but I think that SE really needs to see this thread so let's keep this up at the top, friendos.

It's expensive enough at the normal price, this type of thing is unacceptable.

Thank you for your support, I've been sharing it on various other gaming forums trying to rally others who are bothered by the pricing.

Everyone right now we can just hope when the EU comes up "the price is right" :P
