Square Enix Online Store for Australia


Square Enix Online Store for Australia
The issue
The Square Enix Online Store does not ship physical goods to Australia.
Square Enix will often release Limited/ Collector's Editions for their new games exclusively to their own online store.
This is completely understandable given the number of units they intend to ship and considering the logistics of it all.
What isn't understandable is the fact that neither the European or North American store's will ship to Australia and so in many cases people living in Australia are not able to purchase the same Limited/ Collector's Editions available to our North American and European friends.
So for this petition I am calling on Square Enix to allow it's physical goods to be purchased by Australians and Shipped to Australia.
I can understand that Square Enix uses Bandai Namco Entertainment for Distribution of its games in Australia and sometimes we do get a chance to purchase Limited Edition items. But recently there have been many cases where Australians miss out on these versions of games and have no legal means of purchasing them without paying more than double the price from a reseller on eBay. One such example would be Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithfulness Collector's Edition which is not available to Australians in any way. Another recent example is Final Fantasy XV's Ultimate Collector's Edition which while it was available in Australia, only a maximum of 200 units were available to the entirety of Australia. A country with a population of 24 million.
I hope that Square Enix can see that it is only fair that they make their online store available to Australians just like it does with the rest of the world. Because surely we deserve the same chance to buy their goods with our hard earned money like anyone else.
