It's cuz we're aware of your bias, Falk.
Oh come on, I've worked on plenty of things that I wasn't a rabid fanatic of.

I'd have figured linking the comment to its context via the asterisk made it pretty clear that was an ironic statement.
Nevermind then
.I think he's being sarcastic.
This has got to be one of the ugliest end of generation games out there.
Yeah, I know, now.
Also, an update for the people who're getting it from PSN, I was on twitter and saw Falcom tweeted that a new piece of Sen no Kiseki DLC would be coming out today around 10 AM in Japan, so I guess LR will also be available for download then from the Japanese and other Asian PSN stores.

Game looks fine to me visually.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
The reason for it being from 10am is so people dont go purchasing the PSN version over store copies basically.
Japan has a real sense of "fair play" which is usually stupid in general, but at the same time from a business perspective makes sense on paper I suppose...

How much is the game going to cost from the HK PSN store?
e:
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetw..._ps:blog_PSNW130924_ROA-SpecialQuest1_link001
338 HKD which is only 27 GBP, very cheap unless there's some hidden extra cost?

The pre-order that comes with the Cloud costume is still up for 338 HKD.

EDIT: Oops, you found it first. There's no hidden cost... I think. Why would there be?
How do you fund a japanese PSN if you live in canada ?

Buy digital codes from somewhere. Dunno who has the best rate, but Play-Asia carries them.
I just never thought it would be that cheap, seems too good to be true. I'm anti digital, but tempted, I'm looking at like £60+£70 just to get the same copy physically so I was a bit suspect of the price. Do you just make an HK PSN account and buy it? Dumb question but it's too good to be true... TOO EASY, saving so much money, with an English language store and everything. I'm like an excited child right now.

Play-asia sell PSN codes.
http://www.twitch.tv/leta_jp he's up
That's basically what I did. Make a Hong Kong account and buy it. Sadly, the game's gonna be in Chinese and Korean though, not English... or Japanese.
Oh man this is so disappointing. Sounds messy and easily forgettable.

The weird thing is that the store has a page for the Japanese language version but it's only sold in disc form only. Quite strange.
Also, it seems that the pre-order retail version come with Cloud and 4 other samurai variations while the bundle with the controller comes with Cloud plus 7 samurai variations.
Regretting my digital purchase since the Singapore physical versions might have the same bonuses. The shop I tried to pre-order from couldn't confirm with me on whether it comes with codes.

Fuck. Chocolina.

These NPC's just look so so bad. And why do we need Chocolina again??

I'm positively speechless..
But the title is kinda spoilery, so I guess I'll start my media black-out here
Really? I found it so exciting, especially when the Old familiar song came on at the end.
Yeah. It's pretty bad. It's just noise. There's no real rhythm or melody to it.

Well that's unfortunate. I'd rather a Moogle give me them, preferably the extra fluffy moogles from Crystal Chronicles

Am I the only one who was attracted to Chocolina?
This is pretty good. They tried to make it so epic though a lot of the good themes get lost in the epicy epicness
lol didnt realize its 13 min long good lord.
That should of been Mog's role in this game, yeah. Or some new moogles.
The wings were sort of a turn off.

Why are the voices echoing? That part of the game or just the stream?
omg the graphics are seriously lacking ,and the setting seem haphazard and thinly put together.Not well grounded you know.The reason why this feeling is amplified is I was playing the witcher 2 this morning.lol
I still had some faith that the final game would magically turn out better(graphically) than the trailers lol
Did they reuse New Bodhum theme at the village in the wildlands ? Doesn't seem like it fits here idk

These costumes just don't fit the character, if this were someone like Rikku, I could see it.
It's Leta's mic and/or recording interface. You hear the game audio, then the interface picking up the game audio.
100% not the game since PSN trophy pop noises also echo. Much earlier in the stream when his mic was off there was no echo.

In the consumable item shop, the streamer seemed to immediately set the items he bought to the item slots. What happens to consumable items you get in battles/chests (assuming you can still get them this way)?
Also, how do you save? Auto-saves like in XIII-2?

Despite the doomsday clock, Light doesn't seem as mad as she was before.

She also was supporting

LR doing poorly would have little to do with the sales environment and everything to do with the market's perceptions of the title.
It's tracking far below FF13-2.

ugh the english version of LR and ffx hd are too close together
how complicated is the japanese in this game for someone that can do N2? cos 13-2 was all time travel shit i couldnt understand.

Come on...'everything'? Is the sub-series even as ''''hated'''' in Japan as it is in the West?
Most of the console titles aren't doing that big numbers sales wise in Japan and there has definitely been a shift in preference. What makes you say that this is not a big factor when it comes to console games-sales?

Seriously?, because "far below 13-2" is pretty fucking sad.
By far I mean LR has 50% of XIII-2 Comgnet ranking when it was near launch.

How much is due to disinterest and how much is due to a declining market will never be known. However, potentially doing under 30% (assuming ~500,000 copies lifetime) of XIII in Japan alone is not just due to a declining market. There are many factors, and general disinterest is definitely playing a role.
