Collect THIS: FF XIII-2 Collector's Edition
In an attempt to start blogging more regularly, here's a new feature I'm going to try and introduce over the next few weeks - every week I'll post some sort of awesome/failsome collectable for your viewing pleasure. This will include games, DVDs, figures, and ridiculous memorabilia.
So here's the FF XIII-2 Collector's Edition (I think it may be time to abandon the Roman numerals, Square) in all its underwhelming glory. As has become rather prevalent lately, the general approach to producing a CE tends to be sticking it in white book packaging and stuffing some extra DLC in it. The most ridiculous thing about this is 95% of the time, this DLC will be released on PSN, XBL, or Steam, removing the exclusive appeal entirely.
If this was a lesser developer I would let it slide, but think of the potential a Final Fantasy special edition has, the amount of imaginative crap they could fill it with. Cuddly Moogles, startling Tonberry statues that seem to get closer every time you look at them, Yuna's gurning face to scare off any potential purchaser. Or perhaps just a soundclip from that awkward laughing scene in X playing eternally to murder your ear drums and make you cringe so hard your face turns in on itself.
I personally vote for a life size, fully functional Buster Sword, but no-one ever listens to the creepy guy with long hair and glasses.
