Square Enix’s pricey Final Fantasy figurine, shown a couple of days ago, didn’t only wow you; many others had their names mentioned in that list as well. Sakaguchi couldn’t resist except convey his disbelief at the starting cost of more than $11,000 for a single piece. “Doesn’t this go a little too far?” As per many interpretations, Sakaguchi tweeted on Saturday night. “Square Enix, are you okay?”
It’s Expensive, Verrryyyy Expensive!!
Square Enix’s “masterline” concept, originally debuted a couple of years ago with a selection of Nier: Automata sculptures includes a 1/6 size Terra Branford on a set of Magitek suits. The stunning polish, replaceable pieces, and charming Moogle accessories mean I’m not going to lie it isn’t lovely or well-made, however, man, that’s the number of zeroes my grandma wouldn’t have.

Especially the “dreadfully lovely” miniatures his firm made for last year’s iOS/Mac RPG Fantasian, said Sakaguchi, who led the Final Fantasy franchise until quitting the company in 2003 to join Blue Dragon as well as Lost Odyssey creator Mistwalker.
As soon as the figure’s unveiling was made public, the media slammed Square Enix’s effort to cash in on the Final Fantasy audience. Additional high-quality collector items (such as the line’s prior Nier products) and even certain vehicle replicas may be purchased for the equivalent cost. It would be nice if you could ride in a gigantic Lucario at some point.
Again, I’m not going to make any excuses. One of these reinterpretations of Amano’s art could be worth purchasing if I had $11,000 lying around. …Then why is it so large? If the publisher really can not produce shorter versions accessible at fair pricing, I’m not sure what else they could accomplish. Instead of a model that spans the entire bedroom, I’m certain many folks will be fascinated by the ones that sit at their table.
