SHOCKING NEWS! Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Collector's Edition $200 & Given A MA15+ Classification!

Hi everyone it's Xebs, in shocking news EB Games Australia has announced that Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Collector's Edition will be available at their store in March. However Australians will be paying up to $199.95 (Australian dollars). It's currently unknown why they doubled the price. The US Collector's Edition only cost $99 (not including postage and handling). It maybe due to SQUARE-ENIX not having official rights in Australia, so they may have asked BANDAI NAMCO Games to applicant the distribution rights.

Also, the official Australian Classification for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD has been revealed. The Australian Classification Board rated the game MA15+, which is the second highest gaming rating after R18+. It's shocking because this will be the first Final Fantasy game in Australia to have a MA15+, other games in the series are usually G, PG or M15+. The game will include high level fantasy violence, strong language and moderate impact sex and nudity, no wonder why it's rated that.
