Between this and Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds coming out I think its time I finally get me a 3DS.

I swear Square Enix games either have really bad or really good localized voice acting. Thank god most of the bad ones lately have had dual audio.

Square Enix isn't releasing this, Nintendo is.


And GameStop doesn't have CE info yet. Once they do, I'll have to transfer my $25 reservation over.

Ehh, is there a point to pay extra for the CE if there is no figure? :/

With a trailer like that, this game's going on my short list for "3DS games I need to get around to."

There's also something about this game's CE that strikes me as the type that will stick around a bit after the release date, just like SMT IV's release.

The point would be, wanting a CE without having to pay practically double (or more) the price of the game.

Recent CE that included figures:
*Tales of Xillia - $59.99 (Regular); $99.99 (Collector's Edition): $40 difference
*Tales of Symphonia Chronicles - $39.99 (Regular); $99.99 (Collector's Edition): $60 difference
*Assassin's Creed IV - $59.99 (Regular); $129.99 (Collector's Edition): $70 difference
*Titanfall - $59.99 (Regular); $249.99 (Collector's Edition): $190 difference
*Batman: Arkham Origins - $59.99 (Regular); $119.99 (Collector's Edition): $60 difference
*Dark Souls II - $59.99 (Regular); $119.99 (Collector's Edition): $60 difference

The first 2 are ones I actually wanted/want, but I can't justify the difference in price. The figure doesn't matter to me, it's the rest of the stuff in the CE that does, especially with Symphonia, because I really want the soundtrack and light novel, but I'm not paying over double the price of the game just to get stuff that, at retail, would only cost me $20.

In comparison, Bravely Default's regular edition is $39.99, and the CE is $54.99. Considering it not only comes with the soundtrack and artbook, but also with the AR cards that enhance gameplay, I think an extra $15 is worth it. If it had included the figure, it would definitely be out of my price range, and I really want those AR cards.

[edit] Fixed typo in DSII's price.
