I also ordered them. But I have to say that €350 is absolutely too expensive for this box. There was more in past collectors boxes. And higher quality. I'm glad I got it, but feel a little cheated
@michealhunter3692 So I just finally got mine, is that Clive steelbook that comes with the deluxe edition shown here in the box? because on top of mine I got the game and the other steelbook that was the Best Buy pre-order with the standard game that I had to go to day after day just to get one because I didn't get the Deluxe Ed because I bought this instead?
This is a really tough call. On one hand it does look interesting, but it’s far more glossy than I would’ve ever imagined, and it does look more fragile than I expected. And it’s price certainly doesn’t help. But that steel book, pins and cloth are pretty good. After seeing this video I’m gonna think long and hard on whether to keep it once my copy arrives or return it.
Pre ordered mine, never got a confirmation email, then in May took money from my acct., have no shipping details, and SE hasn't responded to my ticket in 4 business days. Lmao so idk what the fuck is going on
The fact you got a 2 disc case might make that quite rare depending on if other outlets get the single disc case due to it being only a single disc game.
I have it arriving this Thursday but as someone who owns a shit ton of collectors editions this is underwhelming for the price. I’ve returned a few CE’s from SE now.
Demo Spoilers: Here I always thought that Clive was just the Dominant of Ifrit but it turns out to be something else and the truth is that Ifrit on the cover and promotional art is actually the slayer of Joshua. Setting up things for the main villian. This game can't come soon enough. Like holy shit I have never been more hyped in my life about a game since the PS2 generation.
I was waiting for an unboxing video to see if I would regret canceling my pre-order on it. I'm glad I did! Very disappointing statue for a $349.99 collector's edition. It also not including a premium artbook or physical soundtrack didn't help either.
Nowhere near worth that price, they only charged this much because they know it will sale regardless. Not surprising it didn't sale out too. It probably costed $100 bucks to make lol
Looks fantastic, Amano's artwork on the box, the detailed metal pins, and the statue has a pretty good paint job for a video game collector's edition! Wish that some sort of lore book/journal would've been included, Halo: Reach's special edition spoiled me on that. Still, can't wait to collect my collector's edition on release day! It'll look amazing alongside my FF14 Endwalker collector's too
Damn, seriously?? I'm having buyer's remorse rn, ngl. Hmm. Well, ebay is always an option. This game is gonna be really popular and it'll be a collector's item
No art book... for the price it's the minimum i think...phoenix and ifrit are in plastic... it's funny... seriously square enix you are thief! thx for your unboxing
Brooooo 😂 I’m not going to lie I bought this ultimate edition thanking its was going to be more its kind of a letdown but overall, I’m still excited about having my collectors edition
THanks for the video. I hesitated to buy it (the CE is around 350$ in my country now, it didn't sell well in preorders) but when i see the POOR quality of the figure, it's definitely a NO. 5:37 look at the joint on bahamut's face, then on his hands, it looks like a 20$ prize figures from Bandai ..... Absolutely ridiculous, and it doesn't stand properly.
Somewhat disappointed as someone who got the CE, but it still looks good, just seems like a lot of cheap materials and rather over priced, even though they all visually look nice. The box for the pins could have been in a bit better quality as well so that it would look better to display them all. The base on that statue looks rather cheap and the fact that it wobbles really bothers me for that price.
They really starting to change it up now. Compared to the Spider-Man 2 collectors edition that only comes with a digital copy of the game and a statue along with in game digital content for that I paid $244 for being temporary ps5 exclusive as well . I’d actually say that this come as a surpise
its really too expensive for that small of a figure. Still bought it, just to support the devs and company. But honestly, its too expensive for how little it offers.
Statue would've looked better with a light up feature so both creatures glowed. After seeing how they look in the game vs this, it's abit underwhelming
That CE is way over-priced. It is about $450 when you include taxes and shipping. That statue is supposed to be the main driver for that edition, and while the design looks cool, it really is disappointing as you showed more of it off. The size, material, the base....that statue at worst is probably accounting for $200 of the CE value. With the announcement of Play Arts Kai figures it is a surprise they did not go with one of those being included since they have done that for XV and FF7R. I know you aren't going to get a statue like the ones you see for $500+, but this doesn't seem to hold the value it should for the cost. I canceled it and got one of the other editions. Better to use the money saved on other cool stuff that will be coming out.
They only charge that much because people will pay that much. Once they set the price point, they start skimping. There should be an art book at that price and/or a soundtrack because the statue is pretty underwhelming in my opinion.
IMO is a very sad collector edition. Very fancy box, very fancy figure, but if you really see what comes in it for the price, is just sad. Not even an artbook. Is a shame that every year, the collector editions have less and less content.
Don’t want to be negative and am very interested in this game but this collectors edition is terrible and overpriced. The statue is ugly and the colors clash terribly smh it’s almost as if SQEX wants to get their scalpers cut before eBay ($350 😂 yea right) and their most dedicated fans pay the ultimate price with their poor wallets this collectors edition is an easy pass and SQEX shipping costs and store are a joke hope the actual game is amazing tho.
Thank God I didn’t get the Collectors edition. I had it in my cart and just opted for the Best Buy version. That Statue is no where near worth the money. My Callisto Protocol statue collectors edition was 350 and the quality is wayyyy better than this.
This is weak! Companies have really gotten cheap. In addition to this should have been a hardcover, physical edition art book as well as the complete soundtrack, character art/post cards and at least a Keychain. This should've been half the price at the most.
Should have come with atleast a 200+ page hardcover art book and a controller for that price.
There really shoulda been a nice art book or a guide like the BoTW game
price is way too expensive
For $350 that was underwhelming
I was impressed all the way till they unboxed the Figurine-Statue. Heart sank.
Lol 😂 I got the edition too because of my love for ff but I would have been good if a art book was a part of it
@@larryturner2942unfortunately it won’t be released until March of next year lol that’s probably why they only
Included a digital mini one
As someone who preprdered it because I am weak toward this game, yes I agree.🥲 I’m also part of the problem as to why SE will try this again
I got the deluxe. No way I am paying for the collectors edition. Very underwhelming.
I was on the fence with this, but seeing it unboxed makes me glad i held off. That statue is REALLY underwhelming. That should be £200, not £330!
Should have been no more than 129$
In Australia it’s $700 😂
I feel like a dodged a bullet by cancelling my CE. Getting the deluxe edition from Best Buy with two steel book cases.
Same bro, As a FF fan I’m fairly disappointed with how expensive the collector’s edition was
I did the same good choice
I also ordered them. But I have to say that €350 is absolutely too expensive for this box. There was more in past collectors boxes. And higher quality. I'm glad I got it, but feel a little cheated
WOW!!!! Even Box is so beautiful!!! Thanks for the clip.
They should also add artbook mothercrystal fob litographs of valisthea realms
Did you not get the banners? 🤔
Bruh that box looks gorgeous by itself. I’m glad I totally got this plus it comes with the extra steelbook and the wall banners for free
May I know what region you are from?

Just got mine, but I don't see DLC Codes for the in game items. Anyone know where they're at?
Thank you for the great unboxing video. What is the weight of this collector’s edition?
Where is the actual game? I just didn't see the case/disc.
Where was all of the dlc for you, I got the collectors edition and all of the dlc is missing
Where are the digital codes i have the collectors Edition but there are no Codes ????
Theres no Disc?
This is a really tough call. On one hand it does look interesting, but it’s far more glossy than I would’ve ever imagined, and it does look more fragile than I expected. And it’s price certainly doesn’t help. But that steel book, pins and cloth are pretty good. After seeing this video I’m gonna think long and hard on whether to keep it once my copy arrives or return it.
the steelbook and cloth are in the limited edition. Cheap pin's and a terrible figure that doesnt even stand properly are worth 250$ ??
For $350 you'd expect the statue to be larger
Anyone know what the blood sword stats look like in game? Interesting it’s only available in CE.
hello where is bloodsword bonus
Can play the game already?
That color schematic on the statue is unbelievably beautiful. 🔥. Beautiful box too
Where are the patches?
Is the embossed part of the steelbook plastic or steel?
It’s all steel.
bought the deluxe edition for the cloth map!
In Indonesia its like around 600$ sheessh, thank you for the unboxing review 😅 i really thought the figure would be bigger lol
La estatua que es lo importante es muy pequeña y de plástico malo, solo es ver como la maneja con la mano que pesa muy poco
Who is the big guy at the center front of the box ?
Chaos maybe? He is often the Big Bad when the Esper are in the middle of the Story.
Glad I held off on this , would’ve been better if it was 199 or at most 260
Pre ordered mine, never got a confirmation email, then in May took money from my acct., have no shipping details, and SE hasn't responded to my ticket in 4 business days. Lmao so idk what the fuck is going on
I'm on the same boat, man...shit sucks.
@Dexter-X51 like at least some people got a tracking number. I didn't get absolutely anything other than my money taken 💀
@@AresLodin Same, man. :/
@Dexter-X51 well suffer together
The fact you got a 2 disc case might make that quite rare depending on if other outlets get the single disc case due to it being only a single disc game.
it was planned to be on 2 discs but they managed to fit it into on right near the end of dev
How's it wobbling for $350 lmfao that's crazy 🤣🤣
I love it, but 350$ for a statue that size is a bit much.
It’s not 350 for the statue it’s more around 250 after you minus everything else
I have it arriving this Thursday but as someone who owns a shit ton of collectors editions this is underwhelming for the price. I’ve returned a few CE’s from SE now.
Congrats! Hoping I get mine at least on release day
That's what's called a Premium Statue?

Setting up things for the main villian. This game can't come soon enough. Like holy shit I have never been more hyped in my life about a game since the PS2 generation.
Did the game come in the steelbook or did they just ship a standard copy with the collector's box?
It’s supposed to have the actual game shipped simultaneously(shipped together but packaged separately)
The actual game is packaged separately
I was waiting for an unboxing video to see if I would regret canceling my pre-order on it. I'm glad I did! Very disappointing statue for a $349.99 collector's edition. It also not including a premium artbook or physical soundtrack didn't help either.
in Australia they charging us $700 AUD which is like $500 USD. Stupid crazy. If the statue was bigger and heavier, it would've been worth it.
Are we not getting liaviathan as an eikon? Yikes
I respect it. But underwhelming statue i am already in request for a refund for C.E. im just going to get regular deluxe
The statue is way smaller than I expected.
Awesome Collectors Edition, I just couldn't bring myself to paying the price.
Nowhere near worth that price, they only charged this much because they know it will sale regardless. Not surprising it didn't sale out too. It probably costed $100 bucks to make lol

I like the statue and the pins and that’s basically it
What about the game? 😂
Pre order bonus for disk edition, WTF.
Envy u guys can collect the game and play early.
;-;
That statue is beautiful! As someone who owns Shiva and Ultima statues from 14… gorgeous!!! 💖🙌🏽
Right! It looks like it could fit right alongside them. If only I could've gotten my hands on the Omega one tho
So where tf was Leviathan?
People who complain about it's cost don't understand the basics of supply and demand
💯 percent. They just complain while scalpers make triple on ebay most of the time
Damn, seriously?? I'm having buyer's remorse rn, ngl. Hmm. Well, ebay is always an option. This game is gonna be really popular and it'll be a collector's item
😂lol bro 😅I was thinking the same but it’s all depends on how good the game is
No art book... for the price it's the minimum i think...phoenix and ifrit are in plastic... it's funny... seriously square enix you are thief! thx for your unboxing

Kinda expect the statue to be bigger, guess not and it looks bleh
Should of been priced at $250 in my opinion
I am glad that I canceled my CE preorder... this statue is a joke.
I collect anime and gaming statues, but this thing isn't even worth 50$.
Looks like 5/10 for that price i expect better quality for the figure..
Exactly lol I got this shit bra
The price is fucking bullshit, but the box looks amazing. Best thing in all the items is the box, by far. It looks sick.
That steelbook is cute as shit

That’s a beautiful statue, but the collector’s Ed contents and the size is not prize worthy..
Plastic statues shouldn’t cost 400 to 500 $$$ alone
Statue is really cheap 😂 Glad I skipped this
Lol 😂bro I bought this shit I was expecting totally more I will never buy a collectors edition again
@@larryturner2942 yeah last few years collectors edition statues have been crap. 🥲 not worth the price. With 350 u can get resin statues on the net

So cheap for the Price :(
Ick that statue is so cheaply made for what they priced it at. Glad I skipped it.
I'm so glad i didn't order this... that statue is plastic junk
the statue is so bad,only invest on resin statues.
Not worth 350 lol
Straight rip off statue could have been bigger and better made
Trash for $350 USD 🤣
What a terrible statue!
this thing with tax and shipping ended up being like 400+ which insane for some pins and a tiny ass statue, i love FF but this thing was an easy pass
SO FAST LOLLLL
