Final Fantasy vs NieR
Same publisher, radically different collector markets. Final Fantasy casts wide across 35+ years of IP; NieR is essentially 2B with supporting cast.
Head to Head
Final Fantasy spans Play Arts Kai, Bring Arts, Static Arts, and Trading Arts across FF7, FF8, FF10, FF15, FF16 and more — a catalog wide enough to have both $15 Trading Arts blind boxes and $300+ Play Arts Kai DX editions. NieR's catalog is narrow by design: ~120 targets, majority YoRHa focused, with 2B (No. 2 Type B) commanding a consistent premium across every line.

The Verdict
Three angles. One winner each.
2B Play Arts Kai and Bring Arts figures have shown consistent 1.5-2x MSRP appreciation on the secondary market. NieR's narrow catalog means every figure stays in focus — there's no mid-tier dilution. FF has stronger absolute highs but far more mid-tier items that go sideways.
FF's breadth creates more arbitrage opportunities — more restocks, more regional price gaps, more collector niches (VII fans vs X fans vs XVI fans) to play across. NieR arbitrage is almost entirely 2B-focused, which means one bad news cycle (restock, reprint) can compress the window.
Trading Arts Mini and Static Arts Mini entries start under $25 and have genuine secondary market interest from FF7 Remake era fans. NieR's floor is effectively Bring Arts at $60-80, with most of the collector interest concentrated above $100.
