| Not sure how they can justify that price, compare it to ones like the Assasin's Creed SE which is either the same price or a tenner cheaper and bare in mind that that's for home consoles and not 3DS then I feel this shouldn't be any more than £60 I'd say. |

| I think this will be actually be limited edition for a change, and you get more in this then the buccaneer edition of AC4 which just a figure right, this has artbook, soundtrack. Both are expensive though. |

| The problem is I can probably pick up another two 3DS games for the extra price they are charging for the limited edition of this -- so I'm probably going to have to pass, unless that figurine does turn out to be something I'd proudly display on my shelf. After the Wind Waker HD, Tales of Xillia and Monster Hunter Tri figurines I'm tempted to say I'm not exactly anticipating quality here. |

| It depends on the soundtrack to me, is that the two disc full soundtrack or just some musical selection soundtrack? If it's the full thing then the asking price is pretty fair. It also depends on the art book quality, what kind of paper is used and how big it is, given the size of the box and look of the book in that image it looks like the art book is a high quality one and that too also contributes to the worth of the limited edition. But it will all come down to the soundtrack, if it's the full thing I'm in, if it isn't I'll just buy the standard edition and import the full one from Japan. |

| All good points, I'd still prefer to import the soundtrack from Japan myself, even if it is the complete soundtrack. At this point in time I have no idea whether it is a soundtrack I'd want to listen to and own. |

| Understandable, I found a few tracks of it while surfing the web a few months back and fell in love with it then so the soundtrack has been in my sights for a while. If you want to check out some of the music here's a couple of my favourites Conflict's Chime and Wicked Flight. Its music sounds like it's going to fit the game really well. |

| GAME aren't doing the CE, I don't know why though. So I might just be getting standard edition then, depends on money situation. |

| My guess would be because it won't sell. It is a niche title, after all. I'm surprised there's so much bonus-ery attached to it at all... |

| GAME stocked Xeno, Last and Pandora limited editions. So it being Niche is unlikely my local GAME has new copy's of the like of Neptuna in now that's niche. |

| New trailer. It looks lovely, but the usual warning about the voice acting applies. |

| That new comments set up is just... rant about youtube in the rant thread incoming methinks. As for the trailer is it just me or ios the voice acting better in the cg segments than the dialog between the main characters? Not that it's anything to write home about either way but it's actually tolerable in the cg segments of the trailer. Either way I'm starting to get excited about the game now, we need more old school rpgs in the world. |

| The face on that figurine looks absolutely traumatised. "Help! I'm trapped in an otaku's bedroom!"
That aside, can I make all my team members wear top hats? Because if I can, I will. |

| It's just as well the figure looked a bit dorky, I missed out on the collectors edition. Just as well I imported a copy of the ost then, now I'm not missing anything huge. And I'll pass on the demo as well, I'm already definitely buying the game so I don't really need to play it. |

| I love the artwork and the cg but I'm not sold on the in game look. I can definitely see myself picking this up, though. Maybe one for the Christmas list? |

| I have a suspicion the special edition is already sold out here. It was available at eb games online for a short while after the last direct, and then after a couple of weeks it got taken down which probably means they sold all their allocated copies. |

| It is, I asked EB and they said that it basically sold out a day or so after the announcement. So yeah I think I'll download this unless I get lucky and my guy at my EB store hooks me up |

| After much negotiating, the Special Edition is going to be my Christmas present. (There's no way I could wait another month to play Zerio.)
Oh and bad news - the EU version will include the game skipping DLC. Skip the boring bits for a small fee! |

| The figurine looks bad. Really bad. I'm no longer interested in the collectors' edition (since an extra £40 for the soundtrack, which so far sounds nice but is a little generic won't cut it).
I'm definitely going to pick this up, though the demo hasn't really gotten me any more excited for it. It's certainly a great way to do a demo (cynically speaking, by giving you items that you'll lose if you won't upgrade to the final game) and the presentation is top notch (the menus in particular are really well done and a joy to navigate), outside of the watercolour visual style I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary, with a lot of the game's designs playing homage to classic RPGs. Even the music, as nice sounding as it is, doesn't make any effort to separate itself from many other RPGs.
The core game should be of interest though. |

| The demo didn't blow me away visually. I think more 'realistic' games on 3DS tend to look a bit watery in 3D (see Heroes of Ruin). I'm sure the final game will be solid, though, and I hope to look into it in the new year. |
