I know nothing about anime Bleach, but as for FFXII, we confirmed that a small number of regular editions in the different packaging was released, so I think it's legit to call one of them as "Limited Edition". If bonus items (extra disc, extra track, luxurious packages, etc.) was supposed to be exclusive to the initial print but ended up being common to all the albums ever released, then I think it's difficult to consider it as "Limited Edition".

Also, some record companies tend to use the "Limited Edition (限定盤)" term to refer to "Limited Run (限定生産盤)", and I don't think it's logical to select "Limited Edition" just because of their somewhat misleading label. This album is also limited run, but I don't think it should be called as such.

Again, I'm sorry if you never heard about this policy before, and we're not so consistent as I expected. I guess we should resume the discussion in the feature.
