Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Collector’s Edition announced

It was inevitable that Square Enix was going to reveal a Collector’s Edition for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, and this morning they have done exactly that.

There’s a catch however… this CE, which includes premium packaging and artwork, a silver (embossed) pocket watch, the Aerith “Flower Girl” outfit DLC and hardcover art book, will only be available at Square Enix’s Online Store. So if you’re looking to grab a good deal off of Amazon, that’s not gonna happen. The Collector’s Edition will be available at launch day, on February 11th, 2014 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Check out the new trailer showing off the Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Collector’s Edition content along with a product shot and press release below.
