And it's a total waste of money. olol.
With the much beloved RPG series Final Fantasy reaching it’s historic 25th Anniversary later this year, Square Enix has unveiled a special collector’s box set to mark the occasion, during the Final Fantasy Gallery opening ceremony held earlier today in Japan.
The Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ultimate Box will contain a vast 22 disc collection made up of the core 13 games in the franchise’s main series in their PS1, PSP, PS2, and PS3 formats, not to mention it will also come with some very nice collectors swag as well.
Here’s the full list of games:
Final Fantasy (PS1, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy II (PS1, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy III (PSP, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy IV (PS1, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy V (PS1, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy VI (PS1, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy VII International (PS1, 4 discs)
Final Fantasy VIII (PS1, 4 discs)
Final Fantasy IX (PS1, 4 discs)
Final Fantasy X (PS2, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy XI Vana'diel Collection 2 (PS2, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy XII (PS2, 1 disc)
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, 1 disc) 22 discs
Bonus collectors swag:
Special anniversary video disc
Crystal ArtWorks -- an anniversary visual art collection
A two disc anniversary music selection CD
Final Fantasy XIV Mogu Mogu Earring item code
Mini replica of Amano FF 25th Anniversary visual and stand
Considering this massive collection has so much stuff packed into it, you’d figure that it’d cost a pretty penny and you would be right, as this Ultimate Box rings in at the gorgeous price of ¥35,000, which is the equivalent of $446.99 USD. But it should be said Square hasn’t revealed any plans to release this set outside of Japan.
So, if you happen to have an extra $500 dollars laying around and have an understanding of Japanese, you can head on over to Square’s e-Shop on December 18 and have it imported to your collection.

Square and Fair don't go well together these days.
A song springs to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETxmCCsMoD0
-
The $446.99 doesn't bother me, since that's cheaper than buying them all individually. However, I don't own a PS2, PS3, or PSP, so the entire thing would just be a boxed Collector's set for my shelf.
-
not really cheaper. i occasion still come across final fantasy origins, anthology, and chronicles brand new for 20 bux each. for 60 bux you get 1,2, 4, 5, 6, and chrono trigger. ff7 is 10. 10 is still in gamestop for 20ish. 11 is 15ish. 12 is still in game stop for 20ish. 13 i bought at gamestop brand new for 12. so for 137 you get most of that collection. your only missing 3 8 and 9. plus with the money you save you pick up the extras like crisis core, dirge of cerberus, tactics, x-2, xiii-2. for the collection i wouldnt pay more than 175 and thatd only be if it includes everything
-
If they come in their old formats i doubt only the rare few like me who still have their ps1 and windows 7 workaround for win 95 games will be able to play half their titles....
-
they are all ps1 ps2 psp ps3
-
Here is my opinion. The staff at Square-Enix were so busy, that they had little time to come up with something better. Would you agree?
-
Does anyone agree that if Square would announce a donation option for the remake of final fantasy vii and a special place were all fans would share their opinions, it would be possible for them to create a descent remake? I mean like 9.99 for each fan. I would donate for it for sure.

No.
-
lol I love straight forward replies :P
-
That's Kuugen for you :P
I don't agree because I don't think they will ever support a remake. To me, that ship sailed away long ago. At this point, I am just happy to replay everything made Final Fantasy I through IX because those days of RPG making were more unique and stronger for the franchise. They won't ever go back to making games like that anymore. It's clearly evident in their push forward with technology and cinematic RPG's.
-
Donating money to them so they can make a game for even more profit? I'd sooner sell my soul to the devil and bend over for him to plant one in me.

LOL ;D
-
Yeah... that's the reason it worths debating about such topics in this forum... it's all about the replies... :D
-
Having a Fire sale ??
The series should have ended with IX. 10 should have been BBP 1 (that's Belts Buckles and Pouches) it all started to look like KH..
-
@Wolke Nice avatar... did you draw this by yourself?
-
I wish, that one has been in my FF Graphics folder since February 2000.Been waiting to use it for something.Don't remember where it came from.
It's signed Jarikk. I always thought Cloud should look a bit more darker,grungy mercenaries don't look Emo.
-
I don't get Square.
They just reburn a bunch of cds and pack it up and resell for a ridiculous price.
They don't even bother to do a remastered version to the new platforms. A bluray could probably hold all of those and be playable in PS3. But no, it's easier to release 25 years old stuff in the same format they had years ago.
I have access to most of those games, but i wouldn't mind drop 100€ on a pack like that, if it had some minor tweaks, bugfixing and some extras (i would even be pleased with some achievements). But 500$ for the same stuff i have, hell no.
How stupid can a company be.
-
That's what I meant by donating,if they would even create a place for fans where their/our opinions would matter and have a game with various options that would satisfy every devoted fan's preference they would create something epic, and they already know how devoted their old/humble fans already are...

Please return to the forum index and get your brain, because you seem to have forgotten it there. Sorry, but, LOL.

That's IMPOSSIBLE
and they already know how devoted their old/humble fans already are...
More like, how fanatic and easily exploitable people are.

Fan opinions never matter. Business opinions matter. Fans might be heard a little with indie devs but not with a large company like SE
also, goddammit, punctation and grammar, do you know it?
-
...punctation and grammar, do you know it?
Sorry not a native speaker... I own some proficiency degree though recognized by the state... also too late at night for me for a precise translation where I live.
And please I do not live in the Matrix... I was just saying...What can I a pitiful dreamer say anyway... :P :P :P
P.S.: I'm proud to be a fanatic otherwise I wouldn't stay in this forum for too long ;)
-
Cut him some slack Kuugen. He is Greek and tries his best to learn and communicate a second language. I commend those efforts :)
-
What, you think english isn't my second language too?
-
Me too double speak, 8) ;D German/English
But seriously; bad spellers of the world ......UNTIE !
-
Unfortunately, we have in our midsts here a troll. A bad one too, because he is too obvious. I suggest rather than being abused by Kuugen, you just do what I do and shove him on ignore. It saves a lot of effort and annoyance.
-
Please return to the forum index and get your brain, because you seem to have forgotten it there.
What have I told you about personal attacks? What have the rules told you in general?
Don't Be a D*ck
Be courteous, polite and show respect to others. Use of the forums is a privilege, not a right. Being a d*ck may get you warned. It may get you moderated. You might get banned for being a d*ck. Even if you are right and someone else is wrong, keep things civil.
I'm warning you. CHILL OUT.

I read this phrase, and then it hit me. @DLPB told a funny.
-
Ahhh... again with the arguments...In the end I truly wonder who's the least fanatic one among us... :D With Square ending up taking "Loki's evil sword" role between fans, since this type of arguments are becoming viral in various forums, I guess they succeed in achieving the ultimate American principle: "It doesn't matter what people say, as long as they keep talking about you".
P.S.: (just to loosen up a little bit) As long as I have a female's support on this forum all the rest matters nothing to me ;) :P
-
As long as I have a female's support on this forum all the rest matters nothing to me ;-) :-P
You have my support as well. Sorry if I have offended you in any way, or anyone else, for that manner. :-(
-
This box set reminds me of the 'Final Fantasy Trilogy' which AFAIK was also never released outside of Japan; A very nice box set with IV, V, and VI PSX editions inside.
So a set like this was expected. The packaging is impressive, and I'm sure it will be a darling for collectors for years to come. Of course, many will be buying it just for the purpose of collecting and/or reselling later. I doubt many copies of this will actually be opened and remain factory sealed forever.
-
one thing i wanna know, can some of the psp titles in the box set be played on the ps3? i'm expecting the answer no, but i ask only because some titles that are available on the playstation network can be played on ps3. i saw FF1 available on the PS network just recently....

There's only one PSP title in here, and it requires a PSP, thanks to the fact that it comes on a UMD.
On that note, if they're gonna require PSP anyway, why didn't they include the PSP version of Final Fantasy IV instead? It's easily the best version of the game.

Because thats likely more expensive for them

Well in order to be a 'timeless' collection you need to offer a physical version. At -any- time PSN could pull the plug. Also, let us not forget PSP is huge in Japan has been the #1 system for awhile now.

I prefer the Nintendo DS version. I am actually playing that lately. When I finish FFIV, then I will go back to my PSP 3000 and play FFIV The After Years. My brother bought me the PSP version as a gift.
-
I am still just wondering what is taking FFX HD so long... I was excited when I heard it was being made, but I don't understand why they couldn't do an HD collection with FFX, FFX-2, and FFXII. I mean, every other company was able to do similar rereleases in a reasonable timeframe.

Hey yeah, I totally forgot about Final Fantasy X HD. Wow, have I lost my faith in that combination of companies. This is a big issue with Trusts and Monopolies - forgetting their announcements and revelations.

Really? I thought the Nintendo DS version had really ugly graphics and horrible voice acting.
-
It's called a collectors item if I'm not mistaken. Sounds good. Unless you want a 1install disc for every game. Not very collectors item... In my eyes at least.
Anyway I'll not buy it.
-
i dont understand people who still collect final fantasy stuff
it was nice for a while but even someone rich is gonna go bankrupt now on that
-

Hm. I thought the graphics and voice acting were decent enough. An improvement over III DS for sure, which was already quite nice. Those games got me hoping for a similar treatment for V and VI ... but sadly those never happened.
IV DS also had new abilities, Whyt, good difficulty, and a New Game+ feature, good stuff by any measure. But the PSP version is still better.
-

I hate to say it, but I like the graphics and the voice acting. I guess I have a soft spot for cheeziness.

Agreed. Oh wait, three companies combined have plenty of money to lose money, I think.
-
there is an edit button, use it.
also, since when do three combined companies buy collectors items? you need to read more carefully
-

graphics kinda drift away from the final fantasy IV we are used to.. and the voice acting is awful, but one of the best things about the DS version, is the difficulty, having played all FFIV versions, the DS version was the only who actually presented a challenge.
would love a version with psp graphics + ds difficulty

Whilst ATDJ should have edited rather than double posted, that doesn't mean being a dick about it. Especially when one isn't exactly a shining example of forum behaviour in the first place.

thats not being a dick about it. I told him to read more carefully and use the edit button. Not everything I say is filled with hostile intent just because I don't sugar coat words.
-
The burden isn't on me to prove a member is being hostile; it's on them to prove they aren't.
Do try and be less brusque in future.
Anyway, I refuse to recognize any box set that doesn't contain Final Fantasy Tactics.
-
what we need is a final fantasy tactics MMO
turn based encounters of pvp have been done in MMOs before and it works
but nooooo, we get final fantasy 14 instead

Although all of them could be in 1 cd anyways, but we're talking about square here tho, they have to milk the cow.

Since I do not understand Japanese, all I understood from this very long video is the screen shot of artwork from Final Fantasy VII of the Four Warriors of Light and their different Job Classes.

Don't worry just stick on the amazing trumpet ending battle theme ;)
