Just curious what version of the game everyone is picking up.
Do you believe the collector's edition, deluxe edition, or standard edition is the best value and is there anything you wish they would have done differently for these editions. I am not counting store exclusive editions so no bonus talim figure, ivy pin, etc...
I was previously undecided on whether or not I want to pick up the standard edition and/or the collector's edition or the deluxe edition. The only two things I really care about are the artbook (which V's was pretty awful) and the season pass. Unfortunately they do not offer a means of getting both the art book and the season pass in the same package.
I'm really hoping the art book will have some unique art work not found in the game and if they have art from the story mode the art book will be more than worth it to me. I'm a fan of the artist.
I've gone ahead and decided to get the Collector's Edition PS4 (which means I'll also need to pick up the season pass), the Digital Deluxe (via Steam), and I'm picking up a standard copy as a birthday present for a friend...I'm buying the game 3 times. I sincerely hope that the game sells well to warrant Namco continuing to support it long term. I'm spending 300+ dollars total for this upcoming release...I'm at least doing my part to try and make it successful and I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think Okubo has done the best with the hand dealt to him.

So the issue here is the collector's edition which is 150 dollars for the following; base game, a really obnoxious collector's edition box, a metal case with a 4 line sound box, a lackluster and possibly poorly made Sophitia statue, a compilation soundtrack (no idea how many songs), and a 120 page art book (V had an image only on one of every two pages while the second page was often just the same image of a soul edge/soul calibur).
The Deluxe Edition comes with the metal case with 4 line soundbox, the soundtrack, the season pass (5 packs - 3 characters & 2 customization dlc), and the full game for a grand total of 100 dollars.
The online Deluxe Edition is slightly cheaper with just the Season Pass and the full game for 90.
The standard edition comes with nothing but the disc for 60.
To try and figure out the difference in cost (and also the potential price for the season pass) let's take a look at what we're getting differently in the season pass;
Sophitia statue, artbook, and collector's edition box are the only difference from the 100 dollar deluxe edition.
The differences from the deluxe edition to the online deluxe edition is a soundtrack and a metal case (plus a physical copy of the game) for only 10 dollars.
The season pass is likely 30 dollars.
The base game is 60 dollars.
The soundtrack is likely 5 dollars
The metal case is likely 5 dollars
Collector's edition box is likely 5 dollars
Sophitia statue is likely 50-60 dollars (possibly more based on it being a 12 inch statue)
art book is likely 10-20 dollars (we won't know til we see the quality whether it is something every page or if it's like V's where only half of the book is actually different art work)
As it stands the collector's edition definitely seems to be worth the price if you care for sophitia statue...otherwise you are overpaying if all you care about is the art book. If you do want the sophitia statue however you're probably paying about 20 or more dollars less than what everything costs.
