I've never changed it, I just remember explicitly choosing the two-day shipping option last August because if was only $3 more than standard shipping.
Oh, okay. Well, apparently I got 2 day if that's the $11 option. I don't expect to get it within 2 days of release, though.
 
Excellent OT Ultros, nice and simple.

Edit: It looks like some folks want to know if the game is good. Copy-pasting from a GFAQs thread on some sources to read:
-Famitsu = 36/40 (38/40 for DS version)

-RPGLand = Legendary (equal to 10/10) (only the 4th game to ever receive it from them)

-Playstation Lifestyle = 10/10

To those getting the Wizard Edition: are you going to open it? This limited edition is incredibly rare, and you could easily get a vanilla copy to play.

Got the Wizard's Edition on lockdown since back in August... can't believe it's coming so soon! Now if I can just finish up P4 before it lands on my doorstop... hopefully it won't take very long to ship.

All the excitement about collector editions has left me feeling kinda left out, as I can't spend more than the $60 base price. But I'll be damned if I'm not hyped about this game regardless. Been starving for an HD JRPG that looks and plays like this. Bring it, next week!

Huh? Why wouldn't you open it? Unless you plan to scalp it on eBay later or something? Or you collect sealed games?

In summary:
  • Dialogue is cheesy
  • Too many enemies
  • Boss battles too cheap
  • Save points too limited
  • "old-school RPG mechanics"

Did they talk about why it was cheesy, was the story okay regardless? I haven't played a jrpg since skies of arcadia on dreamcast, which brings back vmu memories. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to this unless the story is poor.
 
Pissed I'll never be able to play this demo before the game drops. PSN can't go 10 minutes without getting an error and cancelling the download.

I have it preordered in the hope that it ends this JRPG generation on a high note, because there weren't so many but this game seems to bring together many elements I used to like in old-skool JRPGS and covers it in a beautiful art-style.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
The demo was fun... couldn't get over how it felt like a living, breathing cartoon/anime.

I bought it so I could use/read the book, so yeah. I have no interest in collecting.

What's the point of having an unopened artbook and soundtrack?

I'm going to open it without question..

Yeah, definitely opening my copy. I bought it for the amazing hard bound book. Also, I've never bought anything to keep it sealed in a shelf for it's "rare" value.
 
Yeah, I'm on the hype train regardless. Maybe I should count the fact that I'll have no experience with the game going into it as a blessing.

I'm looking forward to reading impressions about this. Didn't get to play the demo nor do I think I'll get to play it at launch because of ps3 hard drive issues, but this may be a great Summer game purchase for me. I love the Ghibli art!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wish I could participate in the hype and play the game on launch :(

I really...really like the steelbook, but it's way too much trouble to pre-order the game at EBGames, get the steelbook, and then later return the copy. If I weren't getting the Wizard's Edition I'd already have my copy pre-ordered [for the steelbook], but since I am...ugh!

Why does the Wizard's Edition have to lack a steelbook of any kind? :(

Will be my first JRPG in forever, was hyped since it got announced. Is this game supposed to be somewhat challenging?

Also, didn't know about the american Wizard's Edition :( Does someone know how much there are of the european one?

Long as I can skip cutscenes, and there is a save point before a boss. I don't care. That is what sucked in some games having to rewatch a scene many a time over cause you can't skip it if the boss beats you.
