I am a huge geek and gamer, and if you don’t know that about me, well, then you don’t me very well. I grew up playing video games. It all started on the NES (Nintendo) system and grew from there. I took a few years off but when I hit high school and Final Fantasy IX came out, it was all over. My cousins were staying with us for a few weeks while they waited to close on their house and I was home sick. I picked up my cousin’s Playstation controller and proceeded to “be sick” for the rest of the week. I just could not put it down. Since then I have played back as much of the Final Fantasy series as I could, and have continued forward. It has changed so much over the years but remains to be an amazing series. I love the way battles have evolved and how you can now see your enemies before approaching – and the summoning – ahhhh, I love modern technology!
So of course, as soon as I heard that Final Fantasy Type-O HD was coming out, I had to have it. While researching, I discovered the collector’s edition. I decided that it was well worth the extra few dollars and pre-ordered it. Boy am I glad I did because it is sold out many places now! Unfortunately, I have not had time to play this game yet – things have been busy with a remodel of the house – but I plan to dig in to it very soon! I feel bad for my husband because it means I will be glued to the TV at night when the girls go to bed.
Game Synopsis:

Overall, I think the Final Fantasy Type-O HD Collector’s Edition is well worth it – if you can still find it. The art book is beautiful and Ace’s cards are really cool. Watch my unboxing video below.
