I'm saying that I already own the full soundtracks for P1-4, and will soon for P5. The CD set holds no value for me personally, and anyone inclined to do so can completely invalidate all but its physical worth by illegally downloading it.
There is nothing truly "special" in the Japanese 20th Anniversary Edition other than the Artbook.
Meanwhile the Take Your Heart edition includes physical, special edition goods like the plush, bag, artbook, and steelbook. Things that can't be downloaded no matter how desperate the person may be.
I think piracy should be left out of the discussion. It's like saying that a game has no value digitally if it can be pirated. That's not the correct notion, IMO.
Also, it's disingenuous to say "I own soundtracks" so inclusion of such is not worth it. Much like DLC, there is value there especially considering that soundtracks in Persona games are quite good and free inclusion is free inclusion. Plus its a long game and since there are virtually no free costumes in the Western version, DLC for such is certainly worth something.
I can see that someone may place a higher value on the goods in American SE, but I will agree to disagree.
Yeah it's sad to see, truly a botched launch of what is presumably a stellar game. It's not all Atlus USA's fault though, Headquarters should have let Atlus usa start translating it months before it came out in Japan.
Oh, it's certainly not just Atlus USA, Atlus Japan is handling this game without any sort of consideration for Western gamers, which is especially galling since Persona 4/4 Golden sold quite well in the West and P5 would have likely sold even better but with all the delays and mishandling of marketing, who knows.
