At $39.99, the price point is surprisingly affordable for a remastered JRPG. However, buyers should note this physical edition uses a "game-key card" system rather than containing the full game on cartridge.
About Game-Key Cards

Unlike standard Switch cartridges, these cards only contain a license key - you'll need to download the full 11GB game from Nintendo eShop. The physical card remains tradable/resellable, but must be inserted whenever playing the downloaded game.
