$49.99 regular $74.99 Collectors. I guess prices are in USD (no AUS site... no suprise.)
I'll be pre-ordering Collectors.
It's worth checking out the EU site as well, it's not showing release date or prices however has a pretty cool design;

EDIT - Here is the comparison video showing the different game speeds.
Judging from this video it seems combat looks pretty interesting. Each attack and ability seems to consume a specific amount of meter, and this meter is constantly filling up. I like the idea of that. It's not WoW combat speed but anyone who has played FF11 knows that combat was insanely more complex than what WoW is.

If they keep the combat system from FF11 then that is exactly right. Each special attack has an element attached to it. Do a set combo, like fire + wind for example and it'll create a big explosion of fire which does damage, and lets you combo into another "burst" as they call it. Not just for melee either. Magic attacks that land just after the burst do extra damage. All awesome ideas.

For XP at least. HNM/King/Gods are better off either straight TP burned, or Mana-Burned.
