Finally got them! I consider these to be Holy Grails in Xenosaga collection (next to X EP III Lenticular Edition). EP II was distributed as preorder bonus in Japan and later in USA as a part of Hori Memory Pack, and EP III was distributed as preorder bonus in Japan Animate shop, these didnt come sealed or anything.
I dont know what to think anymore!
Sad news :( I dont understand why is Play Asia promoting this as physical? Its scummy, gross and ilegal.
Play Asia mentions many times that it's physical on their blog but never outright says it's proper card, so not sure really, i guess we have to wait a bit more. But having Stellar Blade with all DLC and updates would be a dream come true!

I only have Switch 2 atm, wondering about the performance and should i consider PS5 Pro? I do have 48" Oled LG TV so i would get benefits.
I'm still not buying them, but im just wondering. What can we do to preserve the games? Im still not quite sure 100% how they work besides inserting the GKC, downloading the game. Afterwards, some questions that pop in my head, do i ever need to connect to internet again? Can i backup all Game Keys to Micro SD and save them there like a game on regular card? Can i insert that same Micro SD into a new console WITHOUT connecting to internet and play the GKC or does it need a new connection check because its a new console? If it doesnt then thats still a nice and safe way to preserve the game.
Besides 1st party obviously, the rest i saw were all USA or JAP. Is the European market so bad? Should we Europeans get used to importing moving foward?

Another heartbreak.
Here is your latest heartbreak from your favorite company, SquareKeynix! :'(
Whats the message here? I don't believe the whole ''game cards are too slow'' propaganda, and the logical explanation is they are just greedy. The smaller ones on the other side HAVE to do proper cards otherwise no one would buy their games so it's not like they have a choice. Last year Capcom had an interview and they said it has nothing to do with card speeds and everything to do with ''business decision''. Whats your take?
Most of the games i want to play on Switch 2 are Game Key Cards, SquareEnix, Atlus, Capcom, Bandai Namco all my fav studios are going heavy on this format, and so far i bought only FF VII Remake and now im debating how to proceed further. Man, im gonna miss out on some great games. :-/
Whats your approach?
If anyone owns the game and knows would apprecite it! Pics couldnt harm aswell =) Info on Play Asia is kinda unclear.

Asia English release is superior in every way, besides the obvious better bigger back art cover and no rating in front, AE release has inside box artwork while the EU version is just plain blank white.
Man, what the hell is with EU covers lately, i've been opting for Asia English versions more and more.
Im just wondering, i had around 10 releases set up to email me when they drop in price, and they did but i didnt get any email. I checked the price and it shows now are regular prices. For example, latest Dragon Quest releases with tax are now around 50 euros, before the drop they were 65-75 euros.
