Final Fantasy VI: Terra’s Masterline displayed at nearly €10,700 and a video interview with Yoshitaka Amano

This year 2022 will be the 35th anniversary of the license Final Fantasybut the license doesn’t really need a birthday so that Square-Enix we produce a whole bunch of derivative products. Thus, at the end of last year, we learned that the publisher has partnered with Prime 1 Studio to produce an imposing statuette of Terra Branford riding armor magitekwho is the heroine of Final Fantasy VI. We hear from him this Sunday during the Next Level Showcase 4with an interview with Yoshitaka Amano to find below and especially information on its marketing.

So this Square Enix Masterline Final Fantasy VI in 1/6 scale is going to be on sale from this Monday, April 25 and will be limited to 600 copies worldwide, with shipping scheduled for July 2023. But it doesn’t matter that number, because unless you’re extremely wealthy, you’ll have to give up on this sublime collector’s item. In effect, the listed price is ¥1,485,000 taxes included. In euros, that’s around €10,700! Yes, you read correctly and there is no error on our part, the price is simply insane. In comparison, the Masterline of NieR: Automata with 2B, 9S and A2 did not cost “that” €2,649 in its standard edition…

Same Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of the license and screenwriter of this episode, spoke publicly to be surprised at this priceasking if Square-Enix is fine and saying that the dioramas used for his game Fantasian weren’t as expensive.

Whatever, you can discover Yoshitaka Amano’s opinion on this work in the video below, which has English subtitles. The latter was very impressed, pleasantly surprised and finds it really cool that his 2D illustration can now be admired at 360°. He also mentions the fact that FFVI represented for him a culmination when he worked on it, as well as its inspirations, such as the Industrial Revolution in England. What is certain is that the level of detail is absolutely insane. Since its presentation, various elements have also been added, including two mooges additional.

To stay in the same theme, but at an affordable price, the book The Legend Final Fantasy VI is €24.90 per Fnac.
