Deluxe is easy enough to get, can get it from Amazon.co.uk for example.

I really wanted the CE, I've got the CEs for the majority of post-FFVII games that have had CEs.

My ordeal involved:

a) not being able to order a non-French version
b) VPN'ing into my old Irish account, only to find out that it claimed that Ireland wasn't a supported country (even though I got my FFXIV CE, Heavensward CE, Type-0 HD CE and PS3/PS4 FFX/X-2 CEs shipped to Ireland)
c) VPN'ing to pretend to be in the UK so I could get it shipped to a friend in the UK, wouldn't let me
d) asking my Nan to order it for me and get it shipped to her place in the UK, only she didn't get home in time so it'd sold out by then

Arrrgh.

And now scalpers are selling them on eBay for at least double the price because the pre-orders don't get billed until 10 days before release and despite only being 30,000 copies worldwide there was no limit on the number of copies a single person could order. So yeah scalpers just pre-order loads and listed on eBay for double the price - nice tasty profit there.
