I mean, to be fair. There are Roche fans, and I'm sure they'd like a figure of him.

But.

There are fans of Wedge too. And Biggs. And Mayor Domino.

And all those fuckers should've gotten figures before Roche. :awesome:

I'm just blown away at the stupidity of it. This is worst than S-E doing 100 versions of Sora when 11 members of Organization XIII have yet to have figures. Just unreal. LOL wtf.

Moar diddly bits about the jewelry because I think they're cool. Way cooler than the figure of that Roche fellow.

Bangle is retailing for $247.99 smackaroos. You can choose different versions with different 'materia'.

Tbh, I am confused about how the S-E NA store is handling the new jewelry. I don't want to order stuff from the Japanese store unless I really have to cause of the shipping prices + if something goes wrong I am super fucked, but the NA store is just funny for these, as I assume their store can't handle more than 1 option per item listing.

For the rings, each gem combo is a separate item listing (wtf), and the product option ("your edition") is for your ring size. And as mentioned before, Japan sizes 7 (us 4ish) and 9 (us 5ish) are unavailable even tho they are on the JP site.

For the bracelets, there is only one size, so the "your edition" thing is for each gem combo.

So tl;dr I'm guessing their store can't handle more than one option per item, hence why there are 9 million ring listings...? :mon:

Additionally, the colors are fixed in these combos. You can't do 2 of 1 color if you want, nor can you pick which color goes in which slot. (This might sound insane because "look dumbass, you can turn it upside down and left and right swap", but the "correct side up" in this case is based on the orientation of the Shinra logo when you look at it.)

The ordering options on the JP site let you pick which stone goes in which slot, including doubling up on colors if you want, and also includes the smaller sizes, so yeah I'm stuck ordering from there. Square-Enix gets my money either way, but really, just "lol, what?" about their NA storefront.

Roche comes with a SOLDIER 3-C helmet that you can use as an alternate head so if it's not too expensive...

I actually might get it just to have a SOLDIER PAK in the Remake style. :monster:

That's the only reason it has any appeal to me. :wacky:

That's actually raises a good point.

What would a Crisis Core SOLDIER/Special/etc Edition look like?

What would they bundle with it?

Would this be S-E's way of re-releasing Zack, one of the most sought, expensive and hard-to-find PAKs? Would he have the two-seater bike with Cloud as a companion?

Or would they go and do something wild and make it Genesis or Angeal?

I will buy any collector's edition version they put out, because Square's got me by the balls like that. :monster:

Interested in the alarm clock.
Looks like there's no snooze functionality, nor any way to switch to 12 hour time.
Also don't see anything about battery backup so your alarm will still go off if the power is out.
Kind of ridiculous for that stuff to be missing from a $200 alarm clock.

I got some stuff from the FF7 25th Anniversary Cafe:
FYx5tdXUIAAVxON

The silver tin has 8 individually wrapped mako candies. Taste reminds me of something between bubble gum and Garigari-kun (JP soda popsicle):
FYx5t3OVEAIbFXY

Also got the Shinra folding glasses case, a product that I'm pretty exists because I'm a statistic on some S-E merchandising person's spreadsheet:

I'm posting in this thread, which either means:
1) S-E has announced new Shinra merch proving that I am indeed a statistic to marketing, or
2) Previously announced Shinra merch has arrived at my house

:mon:

We're dealing with (1) today, which is the announcement of a fucking 21k yen Shinra backpack that appears to be a Square-Enix Japan store exclusive LOL

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1559004368484978688

This might actually be too much bullshit for even me lmao. A backpack is something that's more on the practical side of things, but with a 21k yen price tag, the only place that backpack's going is 30mins south to a Distant World's concert at Symphony Hall.

Is that backpack genuine leather? It's apparently big enough to house a laptop and other objects. But that price tag means it better be real genuine leather, otherwise it's a ripoff. :monster:

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, it definitely isn't leather. It's a synthetic, nylon material. Jesus, what a rip off. A 15 inch nylon laptop backpack should be half that price.

I wonder if the creators harbor contention with this company’s shenanigans and the marketing of these games. It’s honestly insulting.

Yeah, like, a branded nylon backpack sounded useful compared to some of the other stuff. Then you realize it's $165 and, lmao??
