The story
Square Enix has announced that the “Complete Edition” of the Final Fantasy VII Remake series will go on sale on April 8, 2027, for ¥77,777. On 5ch’s hardware/industry board, the price sparked a wave of shocked reactions like “That’s too damn expensive lol” and “That’s got an extra digit on it.” Discussion centered on the price gap with the separately announced digital trilogy set (¥11,330), speculation that the bundled limited-edition card could resell for tens of thousands of yen on the secondary market, and inconsistencies with the company’s previous stance on DLC — all fueling debate over whether the price and sales approach are justified.

What people said
Cracking me up. It's not worth that much.
Could be scary high, honestly.
The FF-collab MTG cards are pretty popular — setting aside outliers like the Chocobo cards with only a handful in existence worldwide, Cloud and Sephiroth cards easily go for around ¥50,000.
This time it's new artwork, the art quality looks really good, and they probably won't print many.
I'd guess it easily clears ¥100,000.
Could even hit ¥1,000,000 if things get out of hand (´・ω・｀)
They genuinely seem to think they're a top-tier player in the industry.
That's got an extra digit on it.
Though who knows how well it'll actually sell.
…wait, it's not!?
This company has genuinely turned into a joke.
I… I don't recall saying that… (the classic evasive "I have no memory of that" line)
Same, I misread it too. I thought, "Wait, a 3-game set for under ¥8,000? Is Square Enix okay?" Turns out I was wrong — these guys are NOT okay.
Nope, they come with the standard edition too.
Which is also ¥10,000, by the way.

You're one to talk — you buy two copies every single time.
And yet I didn't even buy Rebirth lol
If they used an actual 128GB game card, that alone would cost around ¥15,000.
That Zack figure is completely unnecessary too.
Actually, more recently they've been talking about DLC for it too.
A plain digital 3-game set has been announced separately.
It's ¥11,330.
Since Revelations (the third game) alone is ¥9,900, this set effectively lets you get Remake and Rebirth for ¥1,430 combined.
Even the thread number is 77!
Fast enough that I'm starting to suspect they deliberately scaled back the content from what was originally planned because sales weren't good.
They learned the hard way with Rebirth that the longer the gap between installments in a split-release model, the more sales drop off.
Even the higher-ups probably rushed to get this one finished.
They'll probably sell the full soundtrack separately anyway… probably slapping some tagline on it like "Relive that emotion once again ────" lol
If it had been something like a standard-edition triple pack for ¥15,000 — like the twin pack they did when Rebirth launched, aimed at getting as many people as possible to play — that would've been understandable.
But this is just too ugly. This is probably going to sell like 10,000 copies in its first week.
If you mean the digital twin pack they did for Rebirth, they're doing a digital triple pack for this one too.
Ah, so it's release the disc first and add DLC later. Still, going back on what they previously said about "no DLC" is something else… well, I wasn't planning to buy it anyway so whatever lol
Hope it ends up stalled out like FF15 did ＾＾ (referencing FF15's famously scrapped post-launch story DLC)
Background and Key Points of Debate
This announcement comes as the Final Fantasy VII Remake series — following “Remake” in 2020 and “Rebirth” in 2024 — moves toward its concluding chapter. The “Complete Edition” in question is a premium limited version; a standard digital trilogy set (¥11,330) has also been announced separately, and the ¥77,777 price tag put the spotlight on how much the limited edition’s added extras are actually worth. Opinion on the thread was split mainly over how to value the included bonus card: some pointed to past FF-collaboration cards reselling for tens of thousands of yen on the secondary market and predicted this one could top ¥100,000, while many others simply dismissed the price as far too high. The discussion was also colored by lingering distrust of the split-release sales model and doubts about whether this squares with the company’s previously stated DLC policy.
