Man the physical Deluxe cover is looking sexy from the pics I've seen. Kinda mad Amazon UK was sold out when I remembered to pre-order mine. I had quite a bit of balance in my account from a recent refund too!!

But anyways my copy should be here when I get home from work!

My copy was shipped with Royal Mail by Gamesoldseparately yesterday.

RM status is still 'we're expecting it'. I'm not gonna get it today, am I?

Yay, FedEx just dropped off! Won't be around for the bonus steelbook that's still en route from UPS, but hopefully it arrives okay.

Anyone else pre-order from Best Buy for pickup and not get their steelbook?

Kinda annoyed - I thought they shipped it to you in this case, but they told me I'd have to come back and get it?

Word on the street with this one is they are holding their breath… performance has been much harder to predict lately, and early data isn't where they wanted it to be. Of course, they have high expectations. But a bunch of stuff has been missing lately (and then you have the surprises like Helldivers)

Personally? I think the stellar reviews and inevitable wom will get them there
Where'd did you hear about this? Not that I don't believe you. Just curious.

Anybody have any tips on putting the statue together? We got ours in but some of the pieces just don't want to go fully in - like the feet going into the pedestal and the wing pieces fitting together?

Just don't want to break anything while trying to set it up...

The Best Buy steelbook is certainly a nice one, though for some reason, I expected it was going to be glossy rather than matte. The colors are a bit more muted as a result, but in certain lighting, the vibrancy of the Tifa/Aerith artwork definitely shines through:

My CE was scheduled to come in today but the tracker never updated once until today saying that its still on route 4 states over and now its coming on Tuesday instead.
I should've just bitten the bullet and got it digitally.

Yeah I'm definitely annoyed especially since I scheduled time off work on Monday/Tuesday just to play the game. This is my first CE I ever got for a game too so it's not leaving a good first impression to say the least lol.

Thankfully its not all that bad since I've been watching my sister play it in the meanwhile but as someone who was really hyped about Rebirth I am bummed out.

I cross posted this in the B/S/T thread, but I have a spare Deluxe Edition coming in today if anyone in the US is interested! Got one for me and a friend when preorders went up, then realized I'm a doofus and somehow had a third ordered from Walmart. IDK if it's actually hard to find or not, but I'd rather pass it to someone here than return it.

Not trying to flip or anything, just asking for the MSRP+tax I paid ($107) plus whatever shipping comes out to.

In the UK this was exclusive to GAME, my Deluxe came with Amazon. I was considering pre-ordering from GAME just to get it and return the game, but too much hassle.

Square store are selling a metal plate with the same artwork, might just get that at some point:

They also have a mouse and keyboard mat with the same artwork:

Has anybody in the US actually managed to get their Collector's Edition? It seems like there was a major fuck up at UPS and hundreds if not more are missing/delayed.

https://old.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasy/comments/1b3lxn0/can_we_talk_about_the_hundreds_of_lost_ffvii/

I just got off the phone with a UPS representative and they told me my package was deemed "lost-in-transit" on their backend, even though on my tracking, it looks like it left Nevada on Feb 26 and then hasn't updated since then.

This is really messed up if an entire wave of orders is MIA.

Well, my copy of FF16 was very late. Here...well, it is odd they released the game yesterday instead of today (since March 1st would be an much easier date to remember) but my copy is only a town away so hopefully closer to now than by 7pm tonight.

Looking up...uh, yeah, my game also came from Vegas...I hope my tracking information remains true...

I'm shooting my shot here, but…

Anyone get the Best Buy steelbook and they would care to part with it? My preorder with them was inexplicably cancelled, with no possible way to get it back. I got the game through Amazon, but I want/need the BB steelbook. Please message me!

I also put this in the bst thread, but I know not everyone checks that out, soooo here we are. A bit desperate.

Yeah, something definitely went wrong. Haven't had an update on my tracking since Sunday and it was supposed to arrive today. Seems like people who live in CA/west coast are having better luck with their CEs, but east coast people are so far out of luck.

Same I am pretty annoyed especially because I used a 20% off coupon on this so I lost that too. Luckily I knew they were undependable and was able to get one ordered from Amazon that will be here tomorrow.

Mine got nuked as well but I didn't use any promos. I pre-ordered it on the first day it was available and it was still cancelled. I contacted them because they didn't refund $75 in gift cards that I used and they told me it was a vendor problem and that I had to wait until 3/2 to get my gift card balance back. I'm slightly pissed to say the least.

This has been such an annoying experience. I'm really disappointed with Target because my preorder was 3 months old. I could have snagged the Best Buy version with the extra steelbook if I was going to have to pay full price.

my SE store CE with 19" of Sephy is still in transit. I already preordered the twin pack during the discount so I can at least play it this weekend. Really sucks cuz original delivery date was yesterday but it hasn't even arrived in my state yet. Hope it'll arrive fine.

aftership/UPS has this as my last update on Feb 29: Uncontrollable events have delayed delivery. We are adjusting delivery plans as quickly as possible. Please check back on the next business day for updates.

I have no clue what the fuck is going on.

Yeah, this entire situation is a clusterfuck.

The latest information I've found is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasy/s/PTwoQpSFx8

Basically ShipNetwork, the logistics company that Square uses, shipped the 36,000 orders in bulk and neglected to actually scan the individual packages separately. So the tracking that we're seeing is for the entire bulk shipment (which is why we all have the same Vegas scan) and nothing else about our tracking is accurate. They confirmed all of the games have left their warehouse by now and it's just a waiting game for them to make their way across the country. It's supposed to scan in correctly once it reaches your local distribution UPS, which is why some people in CA have gotten updated tracking.

At this point, I'm waiting till Monday before I totally lose my shit.

Same.. I am in Canada and the order status hasn't changed at all
Just quoting you again to check in on your shipping progress? Any news at all on your end? You got yours?
USPS website says my CE "departed a transfer airport in PEARSON INTERNATIONAL, TORONTO, CANADA on February 29, 2024 at 5:35 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination".

Meanwhile Canada Post tracking shows "
International item has left originating country and is en route to Canada
Uslaxa,USA" since February 28th.

Am I screwed? This has been the most stressful delivery ever haha.

Really stupid shops don't hold any deluxe editions back for damaged copies mine was damaged from amazon now I'm stuck replacing it with the standard
