They can keep getting away with it because they sell and they seem to be truly limited. They control how much they make.

Knowing SE, its going to be a PlayArts figure. I would jump on it if it didn't include the figure.
Shipping & Handling: 34.99
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE: 224.98
Since when did they enforce tracking only? Hah, it's because UKs mail service is a major cesspit of Shit at soon as it's going off island? Yes, yes it
is.
Meh, to damn in love with Yoko to not buy it.
Uhm, no? It says it's a figurine. Usually it says PA if it is a PÅ figure.
Edit: And why is PSN and SE using the same number for 2 step verification?

Don't have much experience with them but the Noctis Play Arts Kai that came with the UCE of FFXV was really good for me. But I know others that say differently. Besides this is a statue so anything goes now.
As long as it's not like the Bravely Default figure in Europe.

Pre-ordered. Considering the price most likely that figure won't be crap quality like the Bravely Default one was, so it should be good.

Thats was published by Nintendo.

Any chance of an art book releasing separately?
Probably close to 100%. That and an OST release(s) are sure things.

I just ordered it
Didn't really like the first one but... this one looks good...

Really? Was this the case with past SE special/collector's editions?
If so, I'd be completely fine with buying the art book separately, assuming it's a fair price.
The art book, steelbook, and CD are the main reasons I'm interested in the black box anyway.

I hate that the CE is limited to the Square Enix store. That 20 percent discount from Amazon with free release day shipping would make it a lot more palatable. As of now I will pass.

Exactly.
I rather have a special edition on Amazon.ca that I can use my prime discount on, than have to pay inflated shipping, customs, and conversion from the Square Enix Store.
Such a load of garbage.

I'm on the same boat, I was ready to even pay without the 20% discount from Amazon but the shipping is what kills it for me. It pains me to pass on the figure and the steelcase but since the Black Box edition is Square-Enix store exclusive I'll just go with the day one edition.
IKR? Then KH3 then FF7...damn.
If you live in North America: DO NOT expect one to come with a disc. Square is absolute with no physical editions of PC games.

Honestly why I'm just getting the Black Box anyways. lol I'll buy and play it on PC either way.
For almost any other property, it is dumb but considering the culture significance this franchise seems to have...

Every game needs to come with a simple steelbook edition without any extra stuff. That's all I want.
BRSxIgnition

Exactly.
It doesn't hurt that the steelbook looks gorgeous for this, too.
Seriously, if anyone's not super attached to their steelbook, I'll trade+.
Offer's on the table.

Don't even mind not having a physical edition for PC. Just do a collector's edition for PC, Square.
But I'm happy just buying the game alone if they don't end up doing it.

How much later and where would one be able to buy the soundtrack/artbook?
Usually within a couple of months. Nier was maybe 2 months, Drakengard 3 was maybe 2 months as well. Just browse amazon.co.jp, and price compare with other import sites. They'll deliver to Canada

I don't mind waiting, but I'd greatly prefer an English version, at least for any descriptions/interviews, if included.
Ah ya, you're probably out of luck then. Even this CE likely cut out any interview bits, hence the low page count.
The description seems to be misleading, this appears not to be the nier automata ost but the nier live concert recording.

Japanese version it is then.

I always have to end up buying them on Ebay for $15-20. Ugh
Most likely run by the same service provider. I also get texts from my bank from the same number.
Got an EU order in. Bit more than I'd like to pay really, that square enix premium at £170 :/
Still. Hype.
How do you fuck up the box art this bad lmao?
If you don't use paypal, SE doesn't charge until shipping.
Horrible box art means I'm waiting on pc release date no matter when that is.
The reversible art is also cool, but if it omits the typical stuff you see in the back of any game box art, then I'm not interested in switching to the reversible. It probably just expands the art I'm guessing.

The reversible art looks good.
Reversible looks pretty slick tho
The game'll be 1080p60 on PS4, and I'm going to get spoiled to all hell on Yoko Taro's fucking incredible story he'll be weaving for this if I wait until the PC version hits, so there's no way a silly cover art (with awesome reversible cover art I'll use instead) will keep me from playing it on console.
It's nice, but doesn't help to indicate at all that you actually get to play as 3 different characters.
From all the reasons to prefer a pc version, this really is a weird one.
Buy the game digital or throw the box away if it bothers you so much?
That would've been a horrible cover.
The reversible is the best one, the regular one is pedestrian but alright.
