Shopping for FFVII Goods
Welcome to the placeholder for Midgar-RockORG's Super Awesome Shopping Guide! Due to the fact that I have 6 million other things to finish, a brief list of recommended vendors is all I have now, but this will be expanded in the future. Until then, please feel free to contact me with any questions.
- Amazon Japan
- My go-to site for books (AC Prologue, DC Prelude, Ultimania Omega, etc) and the Japanese AC DVD.
- Product information is displayed in Japanese, but purchasing options can be displayed in English. Shipping is somewhat pricey but very effective
- Yesasia.com
- Purchased The Black Mages album from here as well as the rest of my non-FF music. I've also purchased non-FF DVDs and books through this site before.
- Free shipping and flexible payment options, but some people have cited receiving broken CD cases. I personally only had that problem with one out of at least 30 items I've purchased from Yesasia in the past.
- CDJapan
- Any music not purchased from Yesasia (Dirge of Cerberus and AC OSTs). I've also purchased non-FF DVDs and have been happy.
- CDJapan's shipping has lots of options that can be a bit over whelming, but the products are packaged well.
- iTunes
- Most FF soundtracks have now been made available domestically through the iTunes Store
- I've only begun using this service recently and haven't had any problems (minus a minor addiction). They only overcharged me once and caught it before I did--and gave me a free song in addition to my refund! :p
- EBGames
- Most of my game collection as well as the English AC DVD + bonus disc was purchased at one of EB's many stores.
- I've only used the Gamestop online store (they're one of the same now, I believe?), and it was nice and prompt. I've never had a problem purchasing at EBGames.
Wait! I'm Confused!
Although I'm no expert, I've brandished a credit card enough to have a have a decent grasp on the tracking of official FFVII goods. If you have a question, I'll try my best to answer it.
