It's not exactly the games that's bumming him out. The discs are completely covered with Yoishitaka Amano's art. That's amazing looking stuff.
And physical copies are always better.
Also included:
The box will include a 25th anniversary video, a collection of art, a two-disc compilation of music, Final Fantasy 25th anniversary artwork on a stand by Yoshitaka Amano, and an item code for "Mogu Mogu" earrings in Final Fantasy XIV.
I'm pretty bummed out too.
