German guy on youtube unboxes the limited edition.
There's some gameplay footage of some of the first chapter after that, but nothing you haven't seen before there.

Game just canceled my LE preorder.
Yeah apparently they aren't stocking it or something who knows what happened. People on CAG said the same thing happened to them
I have my standard edition preorder up still and it's listed on the site. Where as, the limited edition has been removed.
Holy shiiiiiaatt
THAT's how you do a limited edition.
Proper Soundtrack on CD in actual case
big manual
well-printed artbook
THAT steelbook
and sadly a normal gamecase that features a f-ugly USK sticker, with an additional regular game-manual
f-ugly USK sticker is forgiven because of the alternative cover

Another collector's edition manual that you could choke a whale with. Is there really such a big saving doing Europe-wide special editions? Meh, I'm probably just bitter because I dislike those USK labels so much. The rest of the package looks fantastic.
You're not the only one who hates the USK logos. It was still ok when in older UK collector's editions the cover on the gamecase itself had no USK logo, but ever since Xenoblade and Skyward Sword, it now has a PEGI and USK logo...
Would have loved to get this collector's edition but I just cant stand the USK logo, that's why I just import all my games from amazon UK instead of buying them from a German store. :/ So I just went with the standard UK edition, pretty excited though.

That's really nice, although it's a bit odd that the steelbook has room for 2 discs in it.

Do some wii collector's editions not have USK labels? All the ones I have do; xenoblade, skyward sword, monster hunter tri, goldeneye, and now last story. They seem to have been happy to do it for most the wii's lifetime so presumably they'll keep on doing it for the wii u.
Yeah, I thought that was odd, too. Maybe they expect us to put the soundtrack in there as well.

ONLY German versions contain the USK label, right?

Yeah, I got the same message.
Cerebral Assassin

Yeah, probably (although that defeats the object of including a proper Amaray case for it).
I think the ltd edition is the same across Europe, but the standard edition will be nation specific.

and just purchased through amazon's german site. and holy crap expensive but oh well.
I'm about to cancel my Zavvi order and possibly order Amazon, but holy crap it is $20 more than HMV. :\
Limited editions are sadly the same across Europe. But the standard UK game has no USK logo.
I'm assuming this has next to no chance of making to the US. I just glanced through this thread, after suffering through 3 weeks of shipping through Game for Xenoblade (I've heard since then they've come on rough times), what would be the best UK retailer to buy this from? I want to support these games because of their quality. Thanks in advance.

Amazon Germany (Amazon.DE) has been the choice of a lot of people because they seem to have the best chance to ship it in a box, but they are really expensive compared to HMV or 365Games.

Ah, nuts... I don't hope many other European countries get their own rating labels as well, or there'll soon be no room for the real cover! D:
Yep, and if NOA had a brain, we would have gotten Tales of Graces a long time ago as well. That's a nice lineup.
Still can't believe Square/Enix never gave the Wii anything of substance before DQ X.
I think FFCC MlaaK, MlaaD, TCB, Chocobo's Dungeon, and FFIV TAY have a lot of substance.

Ahh screw it. I just ordered from Amazon.de... luckily the pages are set up just like Amazon US, so I could just click my way through without knowing any German. I decided to cancel my Zavvi order, or attempt to cancel - it says processing, so who knows. I guess if I get 2 copies, I'll just sell one and probably recoup my costs.
Big Papa Husker

Yeah... I know... I decided to just order since Game screwed me over and there have been horror stories of Zavvi. :\
That's still less than what it cost to import the Japanese version!
Only Germany is anal about this sort of stuff. If there's any consolation, I don't think the standard cover is anything special. Just some girl with her eyes closed. Those fanmade covers are much more striking.
Did people have problems in the past with international shipping from them? (Xenoblade?)
I'm probably going to order if from them now too (thanks a lot GAME) but not if they just ship it as-is!
I think you are being incredibly generous to some fairly underwhelming games.
Yeah, but that wasn't the price when it was released-
Pfft, Chocobo Dungeon has what is possibly the greatest arranged soundtrack of any game ever.
Okay, maybe the WiiWare ones didn't have much substance without DLC but the rest did (and the WiiWare ones too with all DLC), just not many people played them enough to find out.
Chocobo's Dungeon specially, it gets really challenging in the late game optional dungeons.
...And I didn't think any of them were underwhelming, they were what I expected at least given what they are (for example, I didn't expect much of FFIV TAY considering it was a port of a cellphone game, so I felt content with what was released).
Also, I forgot to include FFCC EoT a.k.a the best local multiplayer experience I've ever had.
Anyways, I don't want to de-rail the topic further.
Most of those games are okay (even if you ignore the egregious nickel-and-diming) but they are not even on the same scale as relatively small releases like Dissidia or Revenant Wings, let along something like XIII. The one Wii FF game that they made any sort of effort with (Crystal Bearers) sucked, and the rest were unambitious, received barely any promotion and, in the case of Echoes, downright lazy. Hell, TAY was the only one that was even a traditional RPG. Oh well.

I'd really like to have to steel book, but additional 15 is kinda heavy, especially since I'm not that interested in the CD. I just want the game to not look so bland in my shelve, haha.

Man, I basically jumpstart into this game. Haven't really paid much attention to it until last week. But I would dust off my Wii once more for this and Xenoblade.
Bring it!
P.S. Where are the reviews?

The alternative cover looks nice. You could just use that although I guess it wouldn't be too clear on a shelf when you can only see the spine.

I just tried the alternative cover sleeve. It looks really awesome, like a anime film cover.
