Special edition contains limited edition steelbox (not the same one included in the Deluxe Edition) and DLC weapon for Noctis 'Masanume'.

Source: Amazon Spain

EDIT: Just to clarify, the Special Edition is not the same as the Deluxe Edition, which cointains Kingsglaive and is also releasing on Europe.

 

[playXray]

Wow, I wasn't expecting it to look like that!

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Feels edition

 

[giancarlo123x]

I actually dig it.

 

[Mendrox]

Looks like ass.

I want my simple white background Final Fantasy XV boxart.

 

[Rymuth]

Wow, I wasn't expecting it to look like that!

Neither did I. I was expecting some variation of the four mains walking towards camera.

Day One edition contains limited edition steelbox and DLC weapon for Noctis 'Masanume'.

Very nice of them to give a steelbox with every purchase, I still have the special edition pre-ordered for that really pretty steelbox but I might get myself a second copy since I love steelboxes that much.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

looks fantastic!

 

[Aters]

Ahh. Tabata talks about tradition all the time. He should respect the tradition of FF boxart. Not that it's bad, it just doesn't feel right.

 

[m4st4]

Very nice. However I'm more than happy with my steelbook preorder. Dat art.

 

[ZeroX03]

Tell me there's a regular edition with the plain white. What is this crap?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Reversible cover with the Amano logo on a white background please.

I like this boxart, but tradition is tradition.

 

[Infest]

Uhm that's the special edition that you can buy at Saturn/Mediamarkt Germany. I doubt that's the official european boxart for the game's standard version. .

 

[manzo]

One of the best covers I've ever seen in a videogame.

 

[Pooya]

Lion King edition.

 

[hodgy100]

logo on white bg plz

 

[Breakage]

Damn, that's awful. Guess the days of Amano art are over.

 

[skynidas]

the dad thing in this game is so weird.

 

[Dereck]

Looks like ass.

I want my simple white background Final Fantasy XV boxart.

You can make it in Microsoft Paint.

 

[m4st4]

Ahh. Tabata talks about tradition all the time. He should respect the tradition of FF boxart. Not that it's bad, it just doesn't feel right.

On the contrary? FFXV is a tradition breaker in many aspects. That's his whole idea. Plus if you want tradition you can have this one:

 

[Black Republican]

As usual Europe get the better FF cover

 

[AgentLampshade]

Ah yes, Final Fantasy XV, the game where you play as a father of a small child.

 

[NateDog]

It's OK but I don't think it really evokes what it's trying to. Plus I don't see it really drawing people towards it.

There's still the standard version of the game to be revealed, which apparently has a different boxart.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

I hope the Special Edition will be available on amazon UK as well.

 

[Shtof]

Looks really great. Obviously this is Europe so they went with a high fantasy look.

 

[YianGaruga]

It clearly says that this is some kind of Special Edition. Even amazon spain has a separate listing for the Day One.

I doubt that all copies will feature this art.

 

[Zombie James]

I like it a lot.

 

[Rozart]

Oh. Damn. I don't like it.

 

[Spiritwalker]

what >_>

we're not getting the usual Amano logo on white bg?

edit: oh specal edition

 

[Cornbread78]

the dad thing in this game is so weird.

Being a father is weird?


I like it...

 

[Alpha_eX]

Not a fan of this style at all, but I appreciate some people are really going to dig it.

 

[60EffPeeEss]

People pining for a white box can get in a bin. It looks pretty good.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

SPECIAL EDITION

 

[Bishop89]

do not like.

Bring back white background with logo

Someone start #ff15alternatecover

 

[YankeeDonB]

the dad thing in this game is so weird.

It's really not. Parent child relationships are one of the most commonly plumbed in fiction.

 

[Surge_11]

Awesome artwork no doubt, but it just doesn't appeal to me. Edit: Doesn't appeal to me as cover art.

 

[Grim Patron]

Ugh. Sticking with deluxe. Need amano art on the cover.

 

[Ydelnae]

"Day One edition" was just a placeholder, guys. It's been renamed Special Edition.

There's also the regular edition which doesn't include DLC and it's just the game in a standard PS4/XBO case.

 

[tiebreaker]

Looks ass. The 4 guys walking cover looks better.

 

[birthbysleep]

Game is out in 4 months, and all of their promotional material are stills and images from things that we've already seen many times (some since 2013).

 

[Fbh]

For a special edition it's OK.

But overall I don't like it. Doesn't seem to really reflect the type of game they are going for (at least from what they have shown)

 

[cireza]

Daddy edition.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

One thing's for sure, it's definitely not a generic cover.

 

[Ydelnae]

Well, I'm checking and the standard edition seems to have been erased for many retailer. I think we are just going to get the Special Edition and the Deluxe Edition at launch, so yeah, this is FFXV's launch cover for Europe I guess.

 

[Son Of D]

I remember hearing that the game has a reversible cover for the plain background with logo cover.

How do you know that? Amazon still has listings for both and Day One Editions usually just have DLC, not an entire Steelbook.

Most likely there will be Day One (= Standard), Special (= this one) and whatever Deluxe versions they have. Why would all copies be a "Special Edition"?

 

[Infest]

uhm no.
There's a Day One Edition AND a Special Edition ( also a deluxe edition and an Ultimate collector's edition of course). The special edition (which includes this Regis holding Noctis steelbook) is exclusive to certain stores though.

 

[Philippo]

Sure it's not the white background + logo (bet that's the reversible cover), but its leagues ahead of what Japan and US are getting.

 

[oimori]

yeah, some screen shots have very old HUD. that's odd.
