Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Is Getting A Lavish Collector's Box
The remaster of one of the best turn-based tactics games ever made releases September 30 for PlayStation, Xbox Series X, Switch, Switch 2, and PC
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will cost $50 for PS5 and Nintendo Switch.Physical edition preorders aren't live at major retailers yet, but we suspect they will go live soon. The Square Enix Store charges $4 for standard shipping for the game.
Keep in mind that the Square Enix Store tries to deliver preorders on release day, but its preorder pages note that international delivery, which includes the US, can take up to five weeks depending on logistics and location. Because of this, we wouldn't recommend paying for faster shipping, especially at the high prices Square Enix charges. Two-day shipping is $35, and overnighting the game at launch would cost you $55--so you'd pay more for shipping than the cost of the item itself.
Preorder at Square EnixFinal Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is getting a jam-packed Collector's Box that looks appropriately lavish for this all-time classic.
Here's what you get with the Collector's Box:
- Special Art Box: Shown above, the box holding all of the merch has intricate character art against a decorative depiction of Ivalice in the background. Square Enix printed the artwork on matte-textured art paper.
- Ramza Beoulve Figure (Akademy Version): It's unclear how tall this figure is, but it is described as a "figure," not a statue. That said, it does come with a base stand. Overall, this looks like a high-quality figure with vibrant colors and impressive attention to detail.
- Mini Chocobo Plush Set: Adorable miniature plushies of the standard yellow Chocobo, Black Chocobo, and Red Chocobo. Each plush has an elastic loop, so you can connect it to a backpack or even your belt (if you're especially cool).
- Zodiac Stones Acrylic Magnet Set: All 12 Zodiac stones as acrylic magnets.
- Outlying Church Pop-Up Diorama: A pop-up 3D display of the Outlying Church from the game. If you compare it to in-game screenshots, it looks like an faithful recreation.
- Art Prints: Printed on glossy polypropylene (plastic) sheets, the three pieces of framable artwork feature: Ramza, a world map of Ivalice, and the key art that's used for the standard edition of the remaster.
The Collector's Box is available on its own for $200 or bundled with game for $250. If you choose the latter, the game will be packaged separately. This just means that the Collector's Box is the same regardless of which choice you make, and the box, as shown above, doesn't have a Nintendo Switch or PS5 logo on it. Since physical editions aren't available for Xbox, PS4, or PC, a universal Collector's Box makes sense.
Square Enix's store page doesn't explicitly state that the Collector's Box is exclusive to its own storefront. If it is available elsewhere, it'd be wise to buy it at a major US retailer. Standard shipping costs $20 from the Square Enix Store to the US. Two-day and overnight shipping is offered, but these options cost $49 and $69, respectively. Not nice.
Preorder at Square EnixFinal Fantasy Tactics is also getting a digital-only Deluxe Edition that includes the following in-game items:
- Akademy Blade (Weapon)
- Akademy Beret (Headwear)
- Akademy Tunic (Combat Garb)
- Ring of Aptitude (Accessory)
- Black Equipment for Ramza
- Red Equipment for Ramza
- 10x Phoenix Down
