If you wanted to get your hands on the spiffy new Ultimate Collector's edition, I'm afraid all the 30,000 copies that were put up for distribution have been sold out... within 30 minutes from being put up for sale on SE's official store!
This figure is nothing to sneeze at, considering how much the hype had died down in the years we've been waiting for Final Fantasy XV. Many fans, among them members of our community, have decried the game as a failure simply for the fact that it cannot possibly turn out to be a good game, let alone a great one, after such a long waiting period. There has been a sense of betrayal, almost, among fans who throughout the turbulent development cycle including shifting directors, replacing female characters, etc., simply lost their patience. And yet here we are - fans are coming in door and window, culminating in this monumental sales record. It's safe to say the Uncovered event has won us back.
So if you managed to get your hands on this - well done! If you didn't, here's what you missed. The Ultimate Collector's Edition of Final Fantasy XV contained the game itself, a hardcover artbook, a steelbook for your game, a soundtrack, the entire Brotherhood web original anime with an additional, disc-excluisive episode, the Kingsglaive CGI film, a Noctis poseable figure, and a healthy dose of in-game bonus content. And how much would that cost you? Oh, just a measly $269.99. Ebay is already flooded with this edition going for as high as triple the amount!
All you Collector's Edition junkies don't need to worry, though, as Final Fantasy XV will have another one of these called the Deluxe Collector's Edition. It's basically the same minus Brotherhood, the soundtrack, some of the in-game bonuses, and the Noctis figurine. Thanks to that, it's also much cheaper - only $89.99.
Will you be getting the Deluxe Edition then, or will you track down the Ultimate Edition on ebay? Let us know!
