Europe’s Final Fantasy XIII Collector’s Edition could come with Episode Zero

Square Enix’s plans for the European special edition of Final Fantasy XIII may have been unintentionally revealed by the Italian GameStop website. There is a product listing there for a Final Fantasy XIII Collector’s Edition that earlier listed the entire contents of the collector’s edition. However, when I checked the site at 11:40 am, CST on January 20, 2010, it seems as though any mention of the collector’s edition special contents is missing.

Both Kotaku and Siliconera are reporting that earlier the product listing stated the collector’s edition of FFXIII would come with art cards, an artbook, a comic book, a prequel novel, a soundtrack and the game. The prequel novel part is most likely Final Fantasy XIII: Episode Zero, a book with three novellas that take place before the game.

You don’t have to order the Final Fantasy XIII Special edition to read all three Final Fantasy XIII: Episode Zero novellas…
