With all that in mind, it’s perhaps not surprising that the price of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collector’s edition ballooned to £250 - though there’s definitely more than a hint of “big name, big price” going on here Square Enix knows that Final Fantasy sells, so they jack the price up accordingly. It’s not unusual for single-disc vinyl releases these days to be £40 or more by themselves, and not only do we have two discs here, but also two fancy discs with artwork and lenticular designs printed on them. Secondly, vinyl records are expensive these days - at least new ones are. There are a few things to bear in mind there, though: firstly, that this is a collection of six games, not one - and a collection which sells for £65 by itself digitally, meaning that you’re almost up to the price of a NISA or Iffy limited edition just with the software itself. Was it worth £250? Honestly, that’s a bit of a toughie, because while I certainly don’t regret buying this box set and am very happy to have it in my collection, it does feel like Square Enix could have maybe included a little bit more to justify the hefty price tag.Ĭonsider, for example, that your average limited edition from someone like NIS America or Idea Factory these days costs around the £75-80 mark and tends to come with something pretty similar to what we have here - though soundtrack albums are typically on CD rather than vinyl. Not a huge issue, as these characters (which are based on the battle sprites) are most commonly seen facing left in the games themselves, but it does preclude one from making little dioramas of them chatting to one another.Īnd that’s everything. It’s perhaps worth noting that the pixel art is only on one side the back of them is solid, flat black, so they can only stand facing to the left. Alternatively, you can get them out and put them wherever you see fit.
