Final Fantasy XIV Collector’s Edition Comes In A Gigantic Box

Save space, a lot of space, on your video game rack for the Final Fantasy XIV Collector’s Edition. The picture Square Enix sent doesn’t capture how huge the package is.

 

So, I snapped this photo at a recent Final Fantasy XIV event of the travel journal, which is roughly the height of an average game, and the Collector’s Edition box.

    Seem like a no brainer for how big the box should be, but thanks for posting how it actually looks as a real product thanks.

    Perrier is a part of the collector edition…….cool XD

  • Rciwws

    Is it a cheap cardboard box? If its going to fall apart easy i’d rather go with the standard in the plastic case.

    This makes me want it, but I swore I wouldn’t touch this game after spending so much time on FFXI.

    Dammit, SE.

    what’s up with that system that you can’t play for more than 1 hour?

    I also want to know more information about this. Is this true? If so, XIV is dead to me.

    I agree.

    Imagine you come home friday evening after work, for a long weekend, intending to play the hell out of FFXIV and you get no exp after 4 hours and penalties so you cant play for 2 more days.

    There is currently no credible information on the 1 hour thing. It stems from a Sankaku Complex article (red flag already) with no source.

    Yeah, you have to take anything from Sankaku with a grain a salt. less than that, actually. They’ve spread a lot of false information.

    No matter what I just cant summon any excitement for this game….meh

    cool box I guess

    Well I can confirm that it is not in place during the beta. You can level for much more than 1 hour. They just have a surplus EXP system that encourages you to level different classes after a certain period of time, which is currently unknown.

    Still doesn’t compare to a Blizzard Collector’s Edition (WoW, SC2…). Nothing does compare to their CEs. I fear it will be made out of flimsy material, anyway.

    Now, we can only play 8 hours in a week. This is disapointing

    wow… with this extra Extra package, I’m guessing you’ll be able to play the game for NINE hours a week!!!

    Seeing how I ditched 11 after a few months because I never saw any progression in my adventure story beyond leveling up. 14 with its same as same battling set up and vapid “story” insinuations. I’m giving up on FF for a few more numbers so perhaps squenix might get a clue in making a Good game. 13 was painfully bland with those Hours of emo and angst

    The fatigue / surplus exp system is currently not fully implemented in game (verified by Tanaka Hiromichi, the FFXIV director, on his twitter account), so absolutely no one (even SE since they haven’t figured out the full system yet) know how it will work.

    Some site, including Sankaku Complex, decided to use the numbers derived from faulty testing (you can’t test something that hasn’t been implemented properly) as “hard” numbers and then a bunch of blogs and websites picked up the “news” as being real.

    All the hysteria out there right now is pretty much being fueled by the haters and those who love negative news. It’s probably better to look at what WoW does with Rest exp as a model for what may be implemented in FFXIV, not the silly numbers being “reported” right now.

  • Exand

    Bleh, not a fan of gigantic packaging in this day and age. There’s a reason PC games stopped using those ridiculously huge boxes back in the 3.5 / 5.25 inch days, and I don’t see why they have to bring it back again just because it’s a CE.

    Give us a nice, compact package with the goodies and be more eco-friendly!

  • Anonymous

    thats not true, it seems more like after 8 hours of lving one discipline you’ll just have to switch to another, or have an exp penalty. unless you hate exp penalty’s that much, and refuse to lv anything else…then your right XD

  • Anonymous

    It’s real now. The director issued a statement.. 8 hours a week doesn’t seem to far from 1 hour a day.. Bad move to attract gamers

    Same here regarding the games themselves. I’ve not fully delved into an FF since IX actually, and IV doesn’t look to change the trend. However, that said, this looks like a pretty cool collector’s box. Nice art, and reminds me of the old days of big PC boxes and nice collector’s sets.

    I’m done with FFXI but I have so much thinking to do after reading reviews of FFXIV and I think I’ll give it another shot.
