So SE finally realizes what people have wanted for years.... (well they C&D'd some people over it, but never gave an official alternative until now, and they look better IMHO)

These look fantastic... and only make me want updated Cloud and Barret PAKs even more.

 

[Odysseus]

Well fuck Imma need all those retro ones. Hope they don't cost too much...

 

[Cloud_S]

Wait so these:

"発売記念クジもついに発表です"
"The release commemoration lottery is finally announced"

Are lottery items, not mass release goods? I mean.... do they not want to make MORE money by selling really detailed statues and recreations of the low-poly character models that everyone loves/remembers so fondly?

Their merchandising department is the worst. Who remembers the Rufus cup?

How could I forget? *long, baleful sip*

OMG I totally forgot about that abomination lmao.

Wait, whaaat?!

I'm sorry, everyone. I didn't know they were lottery items! I thought they were showing off things they were going to sell.

 

[Odysseus]

Dang it Squeenix, why can't everyone have nice things?

Please don't apologize, you didn't know (neither did I until I saw people commenting about it on the MyFigureCollection.net entries). It really is a stupid decision on their part.

The three remake statues look insanely good either way...

Hopefully they'll post more info on these... maybe just maybe it's a contest for these items and then they'll be up for mass release (he said crossing his fingers).

I've updated the main post with links to the Sephiroth Action Doll, the Vinyl soundtrack has a track listing/video, and two smartphone rings (people use these?) under the "Misc" section.

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.

 

[Cloud_S]

Hmm I don't see it on AmiAmi, just the JP SE Store. Not sure if it'll be available on the NA/EU SE Stores.

However I did find it on Amazon Japan: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/475756368X/, which I'll add to the main post.

I remember that cup! It was one of the main reasons I finally signed up to this forum. Came for the translations, stayed because of that topic and all the amusing responses to that very cup <3

 

[lithiumkatana17]

I'm excited for the PAK figures and those statues! And I'm loving these pins:

 

[Cloud_S]

They've posted about the statues and low-ploy figures on Facebook/Twitter:

I replied to the FB post asking for some clarification on if they're only lottery items or will be mass release goods... I doubt I'll get a response, but figured it was worth a try.

 

[Pizzachu]

It would be pretty mean to show off that merchandise and only have it for one lottery. I hope they reply back to you.

Anyway, here is some stuff that is already on the Japanese Square Enix Store:

Spoiler: Aerith's Necklace (Gigantic Picture)

Square Enix Store Link Here: https://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF700083.html

Sephiroth Bracelet: https://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF700084.html

Sephiroth Key Case: https://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF700081.html

Sephiroth Trifold Wallet: https://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF700082.html

Sephiroth Long Wallet: https://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF700080.html

Kudos to kingdomoffantasy.com for this info.

Sephiroth's pauldrons are on two of his products. It's a nice detail they added rather than only slapping on a feather.

It would, but.... marketing regardless of how limited is still marketing... I guess.

As for the new stuff on the SE JP store, I saw them last night but hadn't added/mentioned it if only because if it's exclusive to the JP store, it's harder to obtain. Unless you guys want me to add everything regardless whether or not it's a JP exclusive?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I would like puppets of these characters.

I personally would. Perhaps you could make a JP exclusive section?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Oh look, SE is hiring a product marketing manager

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1172371785959931904

Anyone on this forum who qualifies should definitely apply.

 

[Arianna]

PLEEEEAAAAASE bring the 1st Class FFVII Remake package back out for pre order!!!

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I saw the book-tote bag combo and I'm not sure what happened after that. I have this confirmation e-mail sitting here now, though.

 

[Cloud_S]

I can do that, or maybe just add them into their respective categories with a note in bold saying "SE JP Store Exclusive"?

 

[Pizzachu]

Yeah, your suggestion is fine. I wanted to know about all the merchandise, even the ones in Japan.

 

[cold_spirit]

Maybe this was posted already but here's the listing for the "FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Post Card Book" on Amazon JP. No nice images of it though.
