=========================================

Original post:
Didn't see anything about this in my searching, so please tap to the rhythm if old.

I was checking my Amazon preorders when I noticed this small blurb on the Curtain Call page:

Strange description. Is the "alternative packaging" the game itself? Are they saying there's more to the "Limited Edition" than the CD sampler? Probably not.

Bulzeeb · Jun 2, 2014

fuck, I don't know what it means but I want it (goes to amazon and place order)

HawthorneKitty · Jun 2, 2014

I read this as the limited edition 3DS because I didn't make it to the end of the title..
Still awesome though.

Bulzeeb · Jun 2, 2014

I have a question, will this game have all the content from the first one (like dissidia for example) or this will include compelte different things?

cafemomo · Jun 2, 2014

Whatever it is I just ordered it

mullet2000 · Jun 2, 2014

Blech, 5-10 track CD samplers are so lame, I can't muster any excitement for that kind of thing. Unless this is a "first-print freebie" type of thing.

Now, Ys: Celceta's collector's edition...now THAT was a limited edition soundtrack worth talking about.

First game had a LE with a stylus and stickers, so who knows

i ended up preordering.

Old + New is my understanding. The only thing not returning from the last game is the FFXV DLC.

Pretty much.

Zeyphersan · Jun 2, 2014

On the one hand, tempting.

On the other hand, rhythm games (especially quality ones like this) I want to get digitally so it never has to leave my 3DS.

I swear if they sold Elite Beat Agents on the eShop and I didn't have to fuss with the cart, I'd be overjoyed.

ShockingAlberto · Jun 2, 2014

I just want a release date and maybe an LE if you swing that way.

joe1138 · Jun 2, 2014

I was kinda hoping Square wouldn't release a limited edition version so I could just pick it up digitally.

I'm pretty sure the alternate packaging is probably just an outer cardboard case to hold both the CD and game case.

pretty sure the bold part will not happen. You know because square being square and all.

I believe I saw some retailer say the release date was September 16th. That doesn't exactly seem like a placeholder so I expect then

I'm pretty sure you can get the first one on the eshop?

Not last time I checked...

I thought a digital release was already confirmed. Most recent trailer has the eShop logo at the end: http://youtu.be/r6OG9vWOdlg?t=1m40s

Goddammit, it doesn't. Just checked. I'm still holding out hope.

While that does increase the chances, would it also have that logo if they planned on only offering DLC or a demo

t26 · Jun 2, 2014

I am guessing they are taking a page from Atlus and offer first print with soundtrack.

Jotamide · Jun 2, 2014

I'm guessing this is more of a first print bonus. Similar to Atlus games on the 3DS. Needless to say I'm getting it.

They need to get DS support on the 3DS for EBA and Ouendan series... The Ouendan ones don't even need to be translated, just bring them for me to om-nom!

I don't carry around DS carts anymore, so their absence makes me sad.

Starwolf_UK · Jun 2, 2014

If it is a 3 inch CD (the 5 tracks makes it possible) is could conceivably fit in the 3DS card case. This is more a pre-order bonus than limited edition.

Zeyphersan said:

You are correct. Thing is eShop version is not just ROM dump and done, you need the digital manual (I think the first game is old enough not to have one) and some coding changes re:saving. This takes time and since Curtain Call supersedes the first game there is no point.

KojiKnight said:

The last thing I would hope for with VC support is games using licensed music especially worldwide rights for Jpop. Would be amazing if it happened. The EBA side makes me wonder if it was more permanent or longer since IIRC some of those were in Donkey Konga and Jam with the Band. Then again there is that karaoke rights so maybe it isn't so impossible.

Celegus · Jun 2, 2014

The song list isn't out yet correct? Final boss theme from Lightning Returns would make this insta-buy for me.

There's a list here.

Currygan · Jun 2, 2014

bobawesome · Jun 2, 2014

A 5-track CD sampler?

daydream · Jun 2, 2014

I would hate it if the LE ended up being the one to have the beautiful cover art with all the characters up on stage.The non-final white one doesn't look that hot.

Zonic · Jun 2, 2014

Only 5 tracks? Those better be the best remixes I've ever heard.

lazybones18 · Jun 2, 2014

Color me interested.

But I still want that system dammit

Diggeh · Jun 2, 2014

Uh.

The blurb seems to have vanished today. Maybe they revealed it too early?

Hopefully 5 remixes of Crazy Chocobo.

ladyluthien · Jun 2, 2014

Five tracks doesn't sound very much, or seem very "limited edition" special. The exclusive packaging sounds intriguing though. I have had my copy pre-ordered since the amazon page popped up. Can't wait for more info. Like a release date please!!!

Diggeh · Jun 3, 2014

Boom goes the dynamite.

PAULINK · Jun 3, 2014

Damn, $70? OH well, take my money anyways. I already bought all the dlc for the first one.

rpmurphy · Jun 3, 2014

Does GameStop have it available for preorder yet?

Starwolf_UK · Jun 3, 2014

Europe gets similar offerings but has to wait a few days long.

Het_Nkik · Jun 3, 2014

Ordered the CE. Only 5,000 copies probably means it's gonna go fast.

Thanks for letting me know. Another thing, and this should be assumed, but they don't charge until release date right? I hope.

my card is failing payment auth because I don't have enough :<

Notorious_Roy · Jun 3, 2014

What is This shit?

Currently, boxed games can only be shipped to destinations within Spain, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. Please remove any boxed games to continue with your purchase.

No Holland, Belgium or UK even...

lazybones18 · Jun 3, 2014

That shit is so bought

edit: CE pre-ordered

Purple Cheeto · Jun 3, 2014

So buying. Don't even care. I should probably get one for my brother's birthday.

Ibuki · Jun 3, 2014

I want it so bad but I don't want to use Digital River. Might have to bite the bullet on this one.

Curler · Jun 3, 2014

I have to support Digital River again??? Ughhh I hate myself sometimes

They place a temporary hold on the payment but don't push the charge through. The hold lasts about a week then disappears then they don't charge till they ship.

Ventara · Jun 3, 2014

So the case is for the regular 3DS, right? I still need one for mine, so this would work out nicely.

Teknoman · Jun 3, 2014

Hopefully there are still some when i get off work.

Curler · Jun 3, 2014

Another DR thread subscribed to, to keep tabs on the shipment and whatnot :/

MrDaravon · Jun 3, 2014

Can anyone who has pre-ordered tell me if the temporary charge is like $1, or is it the full amount? I'd have no way of having the full charge amount available in my bank until Friday. This is by far my most anticipated game this year, already having a bit of a panic attack over possibly not being able to get the LE
