FF7 collectors beware: Aerith statue is gorgeous but pricey photo

There aren't enough games out there that have such inspiring moments that they warrant their own sculptures. Not surprisingly, Final Fantasy 7 is one of those games, and surely most of you recognize this scene. The sculpture is sure to elicit a shriek of joy from many a Square-Enix collector, or perhaps a few shrieks of horror as well: Its current retail price is $239.99. You can pre-order the statue at Entertainment Earth to ensure you get your own before the February 2008 release date. Then you can relive the tears shed for Aerith's passing in the privacy of your own home as often as you like. Perfect!

Argh. It's like SquareEnix gets a kick out of releasing awesome collectibles that I want but will never have because they just cost way too damn much.

I started playing FF7 for the first time about a year ago and didn't get to far into it (I got to that circus place) before I started playing other games. Now I don't know if I should just finish it or wait for the inevitble remake a couple years down the road.

I hate FF VII so much. Not because it's bad, but because every other FF is better and this one gets whored out to death with cool crap =<. How much more bad ass would that Amano picture of Terra on a Magitek be as a model?

She's dead. Deal.

Besides, there's much more (alive) fake girls to fap to. I won't spend $250 on a hooker, why should I spend it on a plastic statue?

Sometimes I feel like the only Squeenix nerd in the whole wide world who really didn't care when she died (spoilers OMG!). In fact, I was quite glad.

ugh! That is to expensive! I still really want the cloud vs sephy statue from AC. But I just bought a sideshow Lara Croft statue for as much, so this will have to wait...lol

Still there is room for greater development and I would recommend more emphasis on research and of course it will bring a better situation. Thanks for sharing a nice read. Cheers
