Thanks for that. As a life long Ys fan i suppose I shouldn't risk it and go straight for the CE and combine rather than gamble with the bundle. I won't sleep at night knowing I missed out on the CE!

Yeah just go straight for the CE -unless- you are also a card collector in which case the CE will have two bonus random cards in gold and silver variants.
As far as I've seen they've done this for a while. It makes sense though, to have people head to local stores to check out the LRG games and not have to worry too much about the online craziness.
Sure, if you happen to live there, and want to pay more.
Wonderboy is $40 on that store, instead of $30.

Well, if not, then you could always ask around for people that do!
And also even if it costs a bit more at least it's an option compared to scalpers.Well, if not, then you could always ask around for people that do!
What fun!
Another middle man taking a cut = extra business for local game stores. It's a good thing. Provided it doesn't cause them to underestimate how much stock should go to the main online sales, I don't see any negative. More copies in existence is always a good thing too.

It's basically what people do with event variants and stuff usually, so I don't think it's all that bad. Just ask if anyone can check out a local shop that also carries LRG.
I'd go to Game Realms if I could but it's sort of further north than I am.Green Card

They know demand is fairly inelastic to price especially since the print runs are low.

From what I recall PS4, yes. Vita, no, because it would have required a rebuild of the entire game.

Saw it in this thread a little while back. Apparently PS4 yes, Vita no.

SO I'M GOING TO PAX WEST AND CAN MAYBE BUY THE YS VARIANT FOR PEOPLE!
This post is a bit of a brain dump because I'm super tired, but here goes:
I've thrown together a shitty looking spreadsheet as an interest form that will likely evolve into the buy form for the Ys Exclusive Variant from PAX West.
Questions on the spreadsheet:
GAF handle
Home Country
Feedback (proof you're not going to stick me with extra copies)
Best form of contact (GAF DM, Facebook, email, whatever)
Paypal (Can you pay me via this Y/N)
Multiple Copies (Y/N, if I'm stuck with extras do you want an extra copy or 8?)
Notes (Do you want me to see if they have other games? Not rare shit like Breach and Clear, but maybe something recent-ish that isn't Wonder Boy? I doubt I'll be able to do this as well but might as well put it down)
Any other suggestions feel free to list or just add things to the notes.
I don't plan to overcharge much for this other than a few bucks rounded up (depending on your shipping location), but if you want to throw a few extra bucks my way for troubles I won't complain (If the games are $30 I'll throw a rough number of $40 shipped out there but this is super tentative and could go up).
Anyways, the link to this spreadsheet will be visible if you quote this post, don't post personal information you don't want posted anywhere else (ie if you want to be contacted via email just post Email and I'll collect a list separately)
My intentions are to see how much interest I get and go from there. If only 5 people want in that should be no problem, but if there's 20... I'm pretty sure you're not all getting one.
tl;dr If you want a copy of the PAX West exclusive Ys cover, quote this post and add yourself to the spreadsheet. Depending on demand I'll randomly select people to get one based on how many copies I can get. I'm probably going to lock this down at the end of the weekend (Monday at the latest) so I have an idea of what I'm looking for, and since I'm leaving Wednesday and want to mentally prepare. I may DM people over the weekend to pay as I obtain copies and randomly go through said list, but they will not ship until 9/11 most likely at the earliest.
Go crazy!
SIGN UPS ARE OVER - IF FOR SOME REASON YOU SAW THIS LATE AND WANT IN DM ME ASAP

I mean I'd be honest with the staff and tell them what's up, I also have friends attending the con too if it's a strict one per person ordeal.
At the very least one person is getting one from my purchase, and that's better than none imo.

I believe a few others may be attempting to help as well so make sure you get in contact with anyone else from here as well a few pages back.
I mean at least if you don't like something they're doing, don't worry.. they might change it tomorrow.
But the same goes the other way around.

It was posted a few pages back.
Basically the CE box:

Thank you my man! I put myself on the list!
I can't see the value of the Ys CE but I love the cover so I really would like the PS4 variant!

Just noticed Ys isn't shipping til October, was planning on shipping all my hold orders with it :/.

It not being shipped until October makes the absence of the patch even more disappointing.
Can't help but feel like LRG moved this release forward, in order to beat the Play-Asia one to it. I'd rather they try to beat their competitors on quality of the product.

Unless I'm confused, the copies in the CEs will ship sooner, as they were the ones LRG originally had Sony produce. The "pre-order" copies are print on demand, which is why they ship in October. So, I guess if you want it soonish, buy the CE without the standard?
*shrug* I'm still bummed it's basically a $20 premium for a slim artbook and a heavily creased poster :/
While I don't disagree on quality of production, I'd like to believe they're trying to avoid another Skull Girls situation as much as possible. With the long wait, creating and testing rebuilds, people got mighty impatient at LRG for something they had little control over. I don't know how much this rebuild process would affect YS Origin Vita, but clearly it's not going to happen, for better or worse.
With that said, one could make the argument that LRG is not honoring their game preservation mission but we don't know the details as to why the Vita version isn't in its most complete state on cartridge to my knowledge.

IIRC, they placed an order for their expected amount a while ago.
Part of that will go into CEs and part of it going towards the usual fulfillment will be saved. They seem to want to save it all till October to avoid having people complain about not getting theirs till October.

That Ys Origin Pax East cover is gorgeous. Shame I can't get that!

I thought they were reversible covers? So you CAN get it by flipping over yours.
zeopower6

PAX Variant is not reversible as far as I know. It is the CE boxart on the case.
The standard is reversible with the hideous cover and the cleaner tower cover. Standard has a blue sky while variant has the gray sky.
Senko no Ronde 2 seems to be coming from LRG soon.

Shame that the Vita/PS4 stickers for the Collector's Editions are on the outside shrink wrap of the box. Once opened (& the shrink wrap thrown away) there will be no visible difference between the Vita & PS4 Edition. Though I guess for those who keep everything sealed that won't matter.

I'd like to grab Ys but it's going to be another bloodbath isn't it?
Asdivine heart looks good too but if I go for Ys I probably won't have time to buy both and will most likely end up without any preorder validated haha

Standard Ys is 24 hour preorder. CE Ys and Asdivine are limited though. I would guess Asdivine won't sell too fast. CE Ys though is gonna be crazy as hell.
To my knowledge, Ys has a niche fanbase, Night Trap is one of those games that mattered very much to a certain generation. It created a certain kind of impact for its time. I guess the same could be said for Monster Boy, don't know to what degree though.

Ys doesn't ship until October?! Even the LE?!
Man, I really hope LRG can slow their rollout of games/contracts soon. I'm over all of these delayed shipments of games and I preferred it when they wouldn't list games for sale until they actually had them in their hands.
I liked knowing once I placed an order I'd have my games in a week or two.

Port wise? Not really from what I can tell. I've put some time into the Vita version and it runs really damn well.
Every other game I bought has shipped within 1-2 weeks. Seems like it's not something that happens all the time. Still waiting for Skullgirls but that's not their fault.

Is the CE only at 10 a.m. or will there be a 6 p.m. batch? Not gonna be able to make 10 a.m.
Still waiting on Night Trap to ship too. Not sure what's up with that, as others have apparently already received theirs?

Selling to these small retailers solves the problem for rural customers, who don't always have high-speed internet, have according to a LRG interview.
Haven't seen anything about it.
