Another who can't seem to cope with the difficulty that is Final Fantasy, seriously, your comments are dull and unoriginal, shoo little boy.

On topic, this is looking to be amazing, the first was epic and kept me going for days, loved it, may just have to get this edition, if not then definitely getting the game regardless.

Hmmm. To buy or not to buy.

I dare say all of the ingame goodies will be purchasable as dlc almost immediately anyway. Will it cost an extra 20 quid though?

So basically the only difference is the steel case and the shirt. Not to bad but I wish Final Fantasy CE's were better ~.~. Games like Halo and Gears get statues and helmets esc. I want a moogle riding a chocobo high fiving a moomba statue.

Though your statue idea seems like the most awesome statue ever... Now I want one!

Pre-ordered straightaway! £80 is a lot but at least it's not like the Halo Reach Legendary Edition which retailed at over £100 on release (goes for about £150 now). As it's only available in GAME + GAMESTATION this is going to be extremely limited as you can't get it from the online retailers... the rarity factor and the fact it's Final Fantasy have both really appealed to me here.

Looks like this will be a Birthday present to myself, my Birthday is in Feburary smile
Prime Regicide - Serendipitous is a fucking joke of an achievement, it's near impossible to win on the slots.
