The Square Enix site will only accept Japanese credit cards. Does anyone know a way to get around this?

I use CD Japan's special request service for any of the exclusives from the Square Enix e-store - I've already gotten it added for order:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview....EY=NEODAI-4503 it's a little more expensive, but about the only way other than waiting for it to show up on YJA to be assured to get it. |

If anyone's thinking of getting this best hurry as the e-store will stop taking orders as of October 31st.

Ugh. I'd be all over this if they weren't picture discs or if the picture discs looked better. Oh well, I guess with all of the Lightning Returns stuff this season I would have probably had to pass anyways.

I wish CDJ would hurry up and add FFX Remaster, Nobunaga box and the Phantasy Star box so I can make one order instead of two. :'(

You can always modify (add items, split, etc.) orders later.

You shouldn't use PayPal in the first place. Get a CC, it's really not that hard.

Wrong, I have a credit card, that is not the problem. I use PayPal so that my bank doesn't charge me a currency conversion fee when I order things in JPY. Thanks for assuming, though.

Also, I'm sceptical about the net gain of this approach. You're aware that PP's conversion rate is always "subpar"? |

PayPal exchange rate: 1 USD = 95.6418 JPY XE.com/ucc 1.00 USD = 98.1767 JPY The difference there is neglible. The 3% charged from my bank completely negates any bonus points I get from CDJ so it's not worth using a credit card. |

PayPal rate: 1000 JPY == 7.78 EUR
Yahoo finance rate: 1000 JPY == 7.45 EUR Let's say I have an order with an amount of 7000 JPY (usually for me it's in that range). With PP I pay 54.46 EUR, while with CC I would pay 52.15 EUR. The difference here is 2.31 EUR. Let's apply your 3% fee to the 52.15 EUR: 1.56 EUR This is less than the difference, so even with the CC I'm still cheaper. And with the CC I have some real protection against fraud, and not this fake "buyer protection" (which is none). |

This is how the previous one was done. I don't know about the W/F ff albums

Did they reveal that the FF Vinyls set from last year would be available at other retailers during the preorder stage?

I don't really remember exactly. The only thing that matters when dealing with Squix's e-store is whether something is marked exclusive or not. If it is, you have to special order it. If not it's generally available at other retailers.

Yes, I had to order it specially from CDJ last time. Why does it matter?

So there's going to be a JP release and an EMEA release which is limited to 1200, probably exactly the same:

Any idea what happened to the EU link? Just goes to the general store now.

Here's an unboxing video for those who are interested in getting a sneak peek:

I apologize for the brief thread resurrection. Noticed there's actually English printed too (unboxing video linked above) so I'm adjusting the tracklist.
