Everyone is well aware that the Final Fantasy series is known for its iconic art, but we wanted to go above and beyond on this one. We don’t want you to feel forced to import the Japanese copy of the game for obscene amounts of money just for the fantastic cover art, so that’s how we came to the decision to choose this specific artwork for the collector box.Ĩ0 page Hardcover Art Book: This art book, simply put, is awesome. In other words, we wanted to make this Collector’s Edition just that - something you’d actually want to collect.Ĭollector Box: As a lifelong fan of the Final Fantasy franchise like many of you, I’ve always loved the aesthetics of the Japanese cover art. Instead of just throwing together a bunch of cluttered pieces of cardstock, paperweights, or stuff you won’t ever look at again, we spent a lot of time coming up with some things we thought you’d really enjoy. We’re thrilled to announce the Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Collector’s Edition, which will be available for purchase exclusively through the Square Enix Online Store.
