Kingly Collector's Editions Announced for Ni no Kuni II

The EU diorama figure's looks way better than the one in US's Collector's Edition.

On top of that, it also has a vinyl. Even though I have no use for it, its definitely better compared to the plushie.

King's Edition is going to cost a million bucks though.

I may get the Prince's Edition if the price is not too high.

@WanderingBullet Didn't even see it came with a vinyl, that's neat. I still want that TLOU vinyl, but it's going for €200 these days...

@Octane Its a 150 euros I think.

Edit: Oops, its actually pounds not euros.

@Octane EU tends to get better special editions compared to US.

Didn't even knew there was a TLOU vinyl.

That King Edition you guys are getting looks amazing. Why does NA have to suck when it comes to special editions?

Eh now that I've looked closer they both have some cool stuff. The music box/diarama is neat but we get a diarama too and a CD. Plushies are always nice too I love having knick knacks like that around the place (I'm serious, no sarcasm).

Oh awesome. I was waiting to see what the limited editions for Ni no Kuni II were... I loved the Wizard's edition of the first game with the book.
Bit weird how we got a plushie last time but not this year in the EU : /
Vinyl isn't of much interest to me, I'll buy the CD version of the soundtrack separately I guess.
Which leaves do I want to spend an extra £110 vs the standard edition (at shopto.net) for a very nice diorama and an art book. Oh and the season pass. Why does this game have a season pass? : / I'll have to do some research...

Oh and GAME have the Prince's edition exclusively in the UK >__<

@Fooligan the original games collectors was worse in Europe compared to the US.

btw is anyone going to question the Season Pass?

Nice. I'm not usually interested in collector edition tat but I did buy the Wizard's Edition of the first Ni No Kuni. I still have Oliver's delightful spell book and the Mr Drippy plushie.

Oh man. Do I...don't I?

I mean, those are gorgeous, but no thanks. The CE will be expensive, and I don't need more junk that I won't use. Learned my lesson with the XCX CE.

@viciousarcanum The Season Pass will include two expansion passes I believe. No idea how much it'll cost separately, though.

Not keen on this. One of the great things about Ni no Kuni 1 was that it included everything on the game disc.

Now they're already planning DLC when they haven't even released the game and had to delay it?

There's also premium edition for north america, you get steelcase, premium edition packaging, 3D papercraft kit, dlc (special sword set & exclusive dragon tooth weapon), and music cd for $80.

I will get either premium edition or the prince's edition

Offt 145 quid for a collector's edition
Bit steep bit no as bad as assassins creed special editions lol

This is gorgeous but lately I am really allergic to "clutter" so I'll get the normal one probably.

EU will wins I guess

The King's Edition may be the greatest special edition I've ever seen for a game. It even has vinyl!!!

Wow they're gorgeous. I'm usually unimpressed by special editions so don't bother but the King's Edition looks lovely.

@get2sammyb Guess when I asked you the other day about a season pass for DQ11 I should have asked about this game instead. Don't see why any JRPG would need a season pass, but I guess they are all the rage these days so...

You following this game at all? You see any signs yet of the Pokemon wannabes or that boring as all get out normal town? So far to me it looks like a nice normal JRPG. I'd buy the Prince edition w/ the season pass and steelbook if the US gets something like it but those heavy on the swag editions aren't for me. I'm thinking they'll have a $1,000 edition for the FF7 remake. Maybe each part will only be $300 but $1,000 if you buy them all. Oh well focus on the happy present, nto the never happening in my lifetime future.

Probably the best collector's edition in a long time, maybe tied with Persona 5 "Take Your Heart" edition.

You can keep all that stuff and just give me the game already.

Oof. Now this I love ; and it rivals my persona take your heart special edition, but this is just too expensive. If it had hit £99 I may have taken the plunge.

My wizards edition of the first game still sits proudly within my collection. It was brilliant.

It doesnt help that studio ghibli are not officially involved in the sequel, so my desire to buy the super special edition is not so great. Might get the Princes edition if priced sensibly (if game have exclusive rights to sell in the UK I doubt this mind)

Edit: Game want 99 pounds for the Princes edition..that is ludicrous for what you get.

I'm a sucker for Steelbook cases, so I'll nab the US Premium Edition for $80 probably.

@Rob_230: Studio Ghibli's name isn't on it, but the talent is still there. Yoshiyuki Momose was an animator, animation director and character designer for them before there was officially a Ghibli, doing work for Grave of the Fireflies and Naussicca, and pretty much everything they've done since being formally established after that movie. And Joe Hisashi is their legendary composer. There's a reason it looks and sounds more like a Ghibli movie than the first one - because it still has those key people and Level 5 also got better at modeling those characters in 3d

Still, the talent is what's notable. That's worth more than just the brand name.

I was shocked to find out that US's CE cost so much more compared to EU's KE - $200 vs 149.99€ / 139.99£.

Wow, that sucks. In order to get everything, you need to get both the King and collector's editions.
