A look At Final Fantasy XIV : Heavensward – Collector’s Edition

A question I get asked a lot is: “What’s the most expensive game in your collection?”, followed by “Which one do you think is the most valuable?” and even “Is there one you’d never part with?”

Truth be told, most of the games I consider truly valuable aren’t even on the PS4. However, there are a few standout exceptions—and this Final Fantasy Collector’s Edition is definitely one of them.

Now, I can’t say for sure how rare or limited this box truly is. It’s still relatively new, and to be completely honest, the publisher sent it to me as a freebie early last year. Maybe they overproduced them and needed to clear out some warehouse space—who knows? Still, it felt special to receive one of these directly from the source, and it’s definitely a highlight in my collection.

So let’s take a closer look at one of my favourite PS4 collectables—Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward Collector’s Edition. A real gem, at least in my eyes.

Look at this lovely box, i am sure a lot of people have thrown their box away already but i will never do that for sure, yes i find it pretty darn special and there’s nothing like it in my collection. A standard brown cardboard storage box but with proper details and so on it, i will be very surprised if this won’t be a sought-after item in a few years time.

So, is everything else in the box brown too then?

The front side of the collector’s box looks like this, lovely FF art style and a mighty cool design as always, even better is that the box have different art on all sides of the box.

The backside of the box, everything in Asian language sadly but it looks absolutely fantastic.

Dragon’s everywhere.

Another side of the box, yup it would look amazing on just about any shelf in my game room.

There is another box inside, this is the actual display case which has 2 “doors” on the front which you open sideways. 

The box design is very stylish yet simplistic.

Here you can see the doors open, showcasing yet another box of course.

The design of the doors are pretty good and it looks quite nice in both open and closed positions. A proper display box this one alright.

This is the backside of the display box, it would have been too simple without a dragon picture on it of course, so they added one which i have to add that looks incredible!.

The figurine included is a dragon of course, it is pretty small and a bit of a let down compared to what i expected at first, but once i looked at the whole picture of the package then i have to admit that i really like it. 

Here’s a picture of the figurine, awesome looking one with stunning details and colours.

Lots Of Pictures…

Click on the pictures for larger ones; the details are absolutely stunning.

It is at times that these that i wish i had a better lens on my camera, zooming ain’t perfect on the one i have for now (30-300), but the quality is much better than many other pictures out there of this collection.

A huge artbook is also in the box, the design of the book is close to the box and yes it does indeed look absolutely impeccable, more pictures follow below.

Variation in the book is good, with lots of awesome pictures and also the usual landscapes and such that can be found in most FF books. Pristine print quality, thick photo paper and a lot of pages make this one of my favourites collectables.

The Final Fantasy XIV movie is included in the box, too, same with the updated game.

Everything is in Jap and totally unreadable and not understandable for me, but as a collectable it is fine and yes i already got the normal XIV edition with DLC update to Heavensword and i am not missing out here.

A beautiful card, the same art as on the back of the box. Very slick.

So that’s it, this is all that is in the box and while i expected the figurine to be larger i still have to say that the whole package feels epic and of solid quality, i do not know the actual price tag of it but i am sure it is cheaper than it actually feels. This is a proper collectable for Final Fantasy fans, a true collectable.

Will, it ever go rare, or maybe it is already rare?.  I do not care really as this one is a keeper for sure.
