CE Regional Differences - Let's Talk About Them

[WHS]

I would like this matter looked into. I have the option of buying the CE or not. Would like to have the plastic hard case for the bluray case with the nice artwork on it. I really feel that is what I am paying for. I think a moderator from the team needs to get on here and give a direct answer. WE can go round and round all we want, insult jp or each other but that will get us nothing. Let's hope we get a moderator on here right away and see what they have to say. In the mean time I also sent a note off to the se na store support asking for a more direct answer as well. Let's see what I get back.

Lets get serious here.

In today's day and age it is not at all difficult to carry the same products as your Japanese store, yet we literally have 1/8th the amount of product available to us. You do realize we would all buy it.


Start hiring people that want to drive your company forward and make it money, not do the easy bare minimum of marketing and work to sustain sales...which is exactly how I have seen things since day one.

And why don't we ever get the nice packaging... Bravely Second has a beautiful edition, extremely doubtful we'll ever see anything remotely similar here.

Frankly I don't really care if the artwork on the box is different in each region, but If I don't get the display box that I saw in the video and I get a cardboard bluray sleeve instead of the plastic case with the cool artwork I will be pissed beyond recognition and will never buy another Squeenix CE ever again. One of the main selling points for me was the display box I saw in the vid and the fact that the bluray case was actually plastic with nice artwork.

This is pretty much how I feel too and will make sure I let everyone I find know all about it from here on out if not fixed.

Was close to pulling trigger on physical CE but western downgrades making reconsider. Was already debating if it was worth it when I was going off of JP version images.

Aw, that is a bit disappointing - unless they're old photos for the NA/EU side it looks like approximately NA pays the same as JP but gets worse and EU is... yeah.. They're just on their own. xD

I know I liked the NA artwork last time but I think that Dragoon on the JP cover is pretty awesome (liked NA more last time because I felt the logo seriously clashed with the classic FF Amano artwork, not so much this time).

Considerably far too late but perhaps for next time or maybe my own preference but I really like steel cases, I jumped on that Dark Souls 2 Pre-order for its nice steel case (and the CE was a limited time free upgrade, like really.. if you're going to pay full price... get an upgrade right? lol).

Got to love how even the DVD case has different art. To bad they are region locked, would much rather have the jp version.

[Seif]

Personally to me and this mind sound stupid but.

I want CE FOR THE BOX.

I think EU and JP have the best ones but personally to me the EU one that has a full color print + the B&W drawing on it makes it the most attractive to me.
I'm a huge Amano fan and to me NA is getting the short end of the stick here. But if you consider the store screwing customers every which way in EU for multiple reasons then I'd call us all even.
cardboard sleeve!
p.s. Japanese game case is FAR better looking!

JP ONLY [Can you speak any Japanese?]
