Apparently, Bandai Namco Asia posted this on social media and quickly deleted the post.


Update: North American Special Editions

High-res boxart

Special Swords DLC

 

[SMD]

It's probably already sold out.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Season pass? Fuck yeah

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Sign me up!

 

[purseowner]

Making of Blu-Ray?! Actual substantial artbook?! VINYL?!

Yep, this will be mine.

 

[zeox]

not sure how to feel about the season pass. I guess we'll get more info soon?

 

[ryushe]

Fuck. I'll never get this will I?

 

[DKHF]

That seems like a really good collector's edition, mainly for the making of blu-ray, artbook and vinyl record.

Nice box/disc art too.

Season pass need to wait for details on.

 

[Roboculus]

Ooh that's a nice looking box art.

 

[WonderzL]

This franchise doesn't need a Season Pass. :/

 

[Danjin44]

Im guessing this not available in Canada.

 

[wapplew]

Can't decide which box art look better, they are both great.
And Dragons!

 

[ZeroX03]

Season pass comes with the weaker limited edition? I don't expect it'll be very big or expensive then.

 

[LordKano]

Isn't it the first time a Level 5 game will have paid DLC ?

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Oooh the music box is really cool. Don't know if I can justify a collectors edition these days but I'd certainly be tempted. Probably cost over £100 too.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Just tell me where to pre-order.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Really a season pass for this type of game?

 

[thiscoldblack]

Bandai Namco will use the excellent Digital River like last time's Ni no Kuni Wizard's Edition, right?

. . .

EDIT: Good news, apparently BN doesn't use them to process orders off their site anymore.

 

[Yukinari]

Wonder how much King edition is.

 

[WonderzL]

Isn't it the first time a Level 5 game will have paid DLC ?

No

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Season pass? Fuck yeah

Makes me wonder whether this was Namco or Level-5's doing.

 

[Acquiescence]

I want that King's Edition, but the price would likely be a fortune.

 

[tiebreaker]

So bought

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Wonder how much King edition is.

You'll need a Kings ransom to buy it.

 

[Sidewinder]

Looks beautiful, will be too expensive for me anyway though ;(

 

[Midas]

Wonder how much King edition is.

By the looks of it, I would say 199 EUR. At least.

Still want it. Wasn't this game supposed to be out this year? Must've missed something.

 

[Bendo]

That's almost certainly going to be outrageously expensive. Wish I could get an edition with just the steelbox and the vinyl record. I just don't have any interest in figurines I'll never actually display.

 

[chrono01]

Already sold out, sailing down that Digital River.

 

[CheckMate]

Boxart looks great.

 

[Auctopus]

Is that the standard box-art? Looks great.

 

[clay_ghost]

Free dlc if you perorder or buy during launch too. Some sword weapons.

 

[DarknessTear]

Fuuuuck, it's beautiful. I need that Steelbook!!

But is it coming to the US? Or is this King's Edition EU only?!

 

[TheGameshark]

That steel book is sick. Don't know how much it costs but it coming with a legit art book, and not the usual snippet bullshit I'm so used to seeing in collectors editions, is nice.

 

[leng jai]

That Steelbook is sexy AF.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I want that fucking artbook. Don't want anything else from the king edition doe ._.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I'll probably just get the Prince edition and add the steelbook to my E3 one.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

Beautiful King's edition.

 

[mcmmaster]

Really a season pass for this type of game?

What do you mean by "this type of game"?

Season passes for story focused single player games are a common thing, Dark Souls 3, Witcher 3, Ni-Oh.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

I hope the release date won't be too close to DQXI.

 

[Jolkien]

Too bad for a season pass, hopefully the content is worth it. I have no desire to get collector edition but I'm a sucker for meaty making of, hopefully you can buy it as a standalone.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

May grab the Prince edition.

 

[Strings]

Gorgeous steelbook.

Also generally okay (optimistic even) when it comes to season passes for RPGs, at least when they're providing content that feels like it isn't missing from the main game

Spoiler

(and not stopping to go THIS IS WHERE THE DLC WILL BE GUYS like FFXV)

.

 

[Lurk]

give.

 

[Ravelle]

Oh no, I grabbed the Wizard edition and this is is even sexier, might grab this if it isn't a million bucks.

 

[Nauren]

... I will sell my son for the King Edition....

 

[silva1991]

Wow that steelbook looks hot.

 

[Koozek]

Really a season pass for this type of game?

Do people still don't understand what Season Passes are? It's just a way of buying every DLC at once, often a bit cheaper than if you buy all DLC separately. You could also just wait for details on the DLC and only buy those that interest you. Or is your issue that a singleplayer RPG has DLC at all? That doesn't have to be a bad thing, there are more than enough good examples at this point. DLC won't go away. It makes sense business-wise and also gives you more content to enjoy months later if you liked a game.

 

[Stiler]

Hope it's sold in NA and the price is reasonable.

 

[Traxtech]

Yeah... im gonna need that Kings Edition

 

[Tohsaka]

I hope the release date won't be too close to DQXI.

It's coming out in January and DQXI just has a vague "2018" release window, so it probably won't be until Summer/Fall.
