I already ordered, but where is this one in the timeline? Why are we back to no PS5 version again?
As far as fans know to this point, the setting and characters of Nayuta are separate from the Trails world and timeline. But some fans suspect it will have relevance later in the Trails series, hence one reason it might be important that they bring Nayuta along with Zero & Azure.
Regarding the CE, I'm actually hesitating to buy it. No steelbook and NISA continues to veer hard into the acrylic "figures" garbage.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Nayuta at least take place on the same continent as the other games, just not in any country we have been in yet??

The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails Limited Edition for Switch and PS4 up at NIS store. The Trails CEs always seem to sell out and double in value, can’t think of one that hasn’t.
What are the odds there's a PS5 release for this once the PS4 version is released/sells out?

Not officially (at least, yet). And definitely not in Zemuria.

Very unlikely. If anything it will be a ps5 release way later like we saw with Ys VIII. But I doubt Nayuta will get the kind of attention that Ys VIII has received. There's no ps5 version because it's a remastered psp game and it would be largely indistinguishable from the ps4 version they're already doing.

You say that, but a weird amount of games have completely unnecessary PS5 versions. Just look at Caligula Effect or 90% of the stuff LRG's doing.

That is exactly why I asked. I bought a used copy of Ys VIII PS4 launch or steelbook edition (whatever edition that came with the game + steelbook) for almost as much as the PS5 CE, that was announced literally a 3 weeks after. After that, seemed like there's been tons of pointless PS4 to PS5 releases.
Also, finally go around to opening my FF Crisis Core steelbook from BestBuy only to find a nice slash across the spine... second time I've had something with a box opening slash across the spine (Prime Remaster was the first, but that luckily is easy to find). Seriously, fucking crazy- seems like this is more common because I've noticed a ton of my games/steelbooks have this issue.

My Ghost of Tsushima CE Steelbook had a Slash on it, I hate it but it seems to be a common thing

So…did Best Buy actually not get any Wo Long steelbook edition? Mine is still delayed over a week later, not holding my breath on getting it at this point.
My GameStop order hasn't shipped and hasn't shown any changes so not sure if GameStop has a similar issue

At least the PS5 version allows people, such as myself who were late to the party to get that game without paying aftermarket prices.
Is the PS5 version of Caligula Effect (Or even Ys Lacrimosa) necessary? Not really, but now I don't have to pay $70 (Switch) or $85(PS4) for a used copy of the game.

I mean, the PS4 copies of games ARE bc with the PS5 so... they could have just reprinted it the PS4 vs making a PS5 release that only works on PS5s.

With niche releases, there's always a risk of things selling out and getting weirdly expensive on the aftermarket. These games aren't high print runs like God of War and usually once they're gone, they're gone. If it's a game you're legitimately interested in, it's worth considering a pre-order. I'm generally not a pre-order guy, but I don't mind supporting the companies that keep the more niche releases coming over like IFFY, NISA, XSEED, and the like.
However, VGP's been doing an awesome job of quelling aftermarket prices with reprints. Stuff like Blue Reflection, Berserk, and Liar Princess were getting ridiculous. That route makes a lot more sense than going through the publishing and distribution process all over again for a game that (IMO) would be lucky to sell more than a few thousand.

Catching up on old packages... Atomic Heart's Limited Edition might simply be one of the best special editions I've ever had. Seriously, this is an insanely good CE for $100. This CE is so good, I might actually play this game even though it doesn't really look all that interesting to me.

LRG at least says they won't reprint their games, so I think they use the PS5 versions as a work-around for that.

Their distribution line is just traditional publishing without the numbered release's caveats (no reprints, not sold elsewhere, etc.) so you could consider that a workaround as well. But that didn't start until the Switch, and was likely in and of itself a workaround to a prior commitment they'd made on limiting Switch output.

Ys 8 & 9 on PS5 come with some amount of the DLC included. On 8 it was all the cosmetic DLC but not the items. Unknown at this time about 9.

Is there a site shipping to the US that has the Bayonetta Origins steelbook? I think amazon.de would have shipped to the US, but it sold out really fast I think.

Feel kinda bad for the GS person im seeing tomorrow. With them canceling my pre-order I'm cancelling all 50+ of mine. They never get anything on time anymore and resident evil 4 is one of my favorite games of all time now I've gotta spend $400-500 on the bay.
lol 50+ pre-orders? The ever.
I don't really get why anyone wanted this shit RE4 statue anyway. It's not like it's some resin-only F4F statue. Capcom has gotten lazy with their RE CE's; the game will be phenomenal with or without a plastic Leon in your house.

Full switch set. Switch game gets announced I pre-order. 50 was actually lowballing it.
And you might not want it but that's you.
