During Sony’s newest State of Play on Thursday, Square Enix revealed a brand new gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the subsequent entry in its FF7 Remake trilogy. The sport appears excellent and I’m excited to play it. Also introduced Thursday: A $350 Collector’s Edition of the game. I’m…much less enthusiastic about that.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues after the occasions of Final Fantasy VII Remake, which took the primary main part of 1997’s traditional RPG Final Fantasy VII and translated it into an action-RPG. Remake’s storyline additionally modified up some particulars, each large and small, to create what seems to be a brand new timeline that’s each separate from however by some means linked to that of the unique sport and its many spin-offs.
Today’s trailer for the upcoming Rebirth reveals this new sequel will proceed to shake issues up, depicting Zack from Crisis Core carrying Cloud right into a metropolis, one thing that doesn’t occur within the authentic sport. (Also…Cloud driving a Segway?)
Interesting stuff! Anyway, the brand new trailer appears cool, so that you may be excited to pre-order the sport forward of its February 29, 2024 debut. About that. The customary version of the sport will price $69.99, and the “deluxe” will probably be $99.99. But the most important, most costly model of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the collector’s version…and it prices greater than a Nintendo Switch.
What’s included within the Collector’s Edition of FF7 Rebirth?
According to Square Enix’s official retailer, this dear, $349.99 version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth comes with the next:

So, does all of this sound prefer it’s price $350? For some, the reply might be sure. For others, a strong possibly. And for a lot of on the market, like me, the reply is a robust “nope.”
Personally, the prospect of a $350 version of a online game makes me roll my eyes so arduous they fall out of my head and I’ve to scramble round on the ground for a couple of minutes to choose them again up. But I’m additionally not an individual who cares a lot for statues or collectibles. At the very least it’s good that Square Enix is together with a bodily copy of the sport on this dear package deal!
