Can I get some clarification as to why the update to the release date of FF Pixel Remaster was rejected?
Unless I am misunderstanding, the comment seems to be saying that this is a digital only release?
This is incorrect, as I have the physical release in my possession
Because these items are new, there is limited information about them using typical sources our site relies upon, such as GameFAQs (release date Q2 2023) and eBay (all available and sold listings utilize marketing art), which is still the case. I could not verify any item being a "FF35th Anniversary Edition" having been released. Currently, the two entries FF35th Anniversary Edition entries feature no art—however, they before featured the same artwork as the standard releases and not anything specific as to what the FF3th Anniversary Edition actually looks like. I removed that artwork to avoid further confusion.
Now, I can not verify anything from your photo pertinent to the item itself. Is the large item a box? Does it mention FF35th Anniversary Edition anywhere on the box itself? If not, then the entry should be renamed to Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster (box) with FF35th Anniversary Edition supplied to the Alt-name field. Was the actual game keepcase housed inside of the box, or was it packaged separately? If the latter, then the entry will need to be moved to a Swag category. I am asking now because this is a ongoing trend with limited edition type items.
For now, obviously the entry's information can be updated to Official Release with April 2023 as the Release Date. To my knowledge, this item is exclusive to online storefronts only, so determining when the item was actually available in-hand after mailing is difficult. For instance, the item may have had an advertised April 19 2023 date, but the information you submitted was on April 18 2023, so it seems that there are some who received the item early, and there are surely some who have yet to receive their pre-order. The "[d]igital only" comment could have been better explained, but I could only verify the digital item having releasing on April 19.
The "FF35th Anniversary Edition" does not appear on the game, but rather came from the developer's storefront as seen here. The release date of 19 April 23 is also indicated here:
Some notes on the packaging:
The box contains the limited edition swag that comes with this release.
The game with its lenticular sleeve are packaged together, but separately from the swag box. The standard edition does not have the lenticular sleeve, as per the description of each edition on the storefront.
