Remake Merchandise

[Teioh]

The Square Enix Cafe is having an event for the remake and there's going to be all these limited goods available. Why SE? Why??

Spoiler

I really want the Shinra coat

Edit: to say that now I've looked through the menu, I also really want to go. Egg and Chips just like the Seventh Heaven signboard! And Don Corneo's drink to 'express the glittering atmosphere' of the man himself.

They've now reached Capcom levels of rare high-end, extremely expensive merchandise.

Granted these goods are hardly necessary to enjoy the FFVII Remake, and demonstrate it's popularity, but it's a shame since these are things that like almost nobody will be able to come even close to. Let alone obtaining.

Oh well, that's the nature of luxury level merchandise.

It's not likely, but if I win a chronograph piece, I'm gonna die.

I wish fan cafe events was more of a thing outside of Asia. They usually give out such cool stuff during these events and they always look like it's so much fun to participate in.

The fact that square keeps making merch of the low poly designs is really making me hope they get represented in the remake somehow. Maybe as part of a mini game at gold saucer, or as alternate costumes.

That's my hope for the mini games at Gold Saucer. Keep them all ps1 graphics

Oh, this is a bit interesting. A Final Fantasy VII Series special booklet and a matching tote bag with a graphic design supervised by Nomura.

The booklet will summarize all the FFVII Series entries released thus far. They aren't using the term "Compilation of FFVII" at all. The placeholder cover artwork for the booklet is actually a Compilation of FFVII 10th anniversary illustration they did a while back.

The tote has a new design that intertwines iconic images from all the titles in the series.

So, mine arrived yesterday:

The "book" is rather generously described as such, being only 15 pages. I think it should have been called a pamphlet myself. =P

There's really nothing particularly special about its contents. It's just a timeline of hallmarks in the FFVII franchise's history, as denoted by its various media releases over the past 23 years. There's then a small summary for each entry over the subsequent pages:

What's arguably special here is that otherwise seemingly forgettable or forgotten titles like Last Order, DC Lost Episode, FFVII Snowboarding, and G-Bike have entries. The Kids Are Alright is in here too, which may surprise some of you.

Even with the blistering page-turner not being particularly noteworthy, the tote is a nifty novelty, and I love the design. It's also just nice to see SE still thinking about the Compilation, and so I'm glad to have contributed to the fandom voice that says we still care about it.

Ahhh looking at all those images makes me feel so nostalgic. Crazy to think that a chunk of the titles aren't even playable anymore. Gotta take what we can get at this point, thanks for sharing.

That design on the tote is amazing. I want a print of that, but unfortunately it will probably cost 599 US Dollars.

 

[Saven]

599 US Dollars.

WRONG!!!

 

[Rydeen]

Someone got the reference!

 

[Saven]

I was worried for a sec I may have been dating myself, but thankfully that wasn't the case at all.

I don't have the money. I don't. But...

I want it so bad.

Those fucks

Okay I'm one to talk, seeing as I blew god knows how much money on all the AC Playarts Kai figures, but how in the world does Square expect people to spend $70 on a plush?

Still no FFVII chessboard (Shinra v Avalanche) I see.
And why no FFVII Monopoly? If ever a franchise lent itself to being Monopoly-ised, surely FFVII does.
I can't believe there isn't a FFVII board game. What's wrong with these nerds?
At least we'll always have the Rufus cup.
I wish they'd go the whole hog and make him a proper commemorative dinner service like the Queen gets when she has her jubilees and whatnot.
I like to think that when President Shinra died, Rufus had his body compressed into a diamond, and then put that diamond into a Shinra corporation drill bit. It's what the old man would have wanted.

Then even in death he can put the screws to things....

I just wanted to draw attention to the new Final Fantasy VII Series Special Book (it even comes with a tote bag).

Thanks for the pointing out. I actually got one recently and posted some pictures a few posts up.

The Japanese seem to consistently be more into card games and trading cards. I'm not sure if they are as into Monopoly as the west either, but I could be wrong.

Meanwhile I figured he had the Turks help him personally chuck the body into a dumpster.

Very minor detail, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time the SOLDIER emblem has ever been given a specific name in any official media:

SOLDIER Mark (ソルジャーマーク)

Preorders for the customary Ultimania book are up on the JP store.

Don't think this is technically Remake merch but it's awesome and I wanted it so I ordered it today.

Works for me. I don't give it all to the ladies for free. Sometimes you have to make'em work for it
