I answered this on the previous page. Right in the manual it says to keep R3 clicked down and move the stick to cycle lock-ons. I haven't had the chance to try yet because I haven't faced multiple enemies.

I'm wondering if I should cancel my order from NCSx and just order from Nin NIn game? Anyone use them?

At this point paying ME $100 would probably get it to you quicker. But yeah, I feel your pain. Perhaps today being a holiday has something to do with that shipping delay.

So if I did order today, it probably wouldn't ship out of Osaka (where nin nin is) anyway I'm guessing? That may be the issue, I don't know. This exact thing happened with Demon's Souls release of the import with NCSx. Not sure how they receive their shipments, seems like it would have come ahead of time if they ship out on release dates.
Zeal said:
They only do EMS Speedpost, the fastest, which says 3-4 days. Kind of sucks, but who knows at this point if NCSx will even get their stock on the 25th.

I never switched, not sure why I went with NCSx again. The past few times since Demon's Souls debacle they are relatively quick because they are so close. But honestly, to have this exact same thing happen again is pretty ridiculous. "Publisher's decision" too, meaning FROM.

Joe Shlabotnik said:As I mentioned earlier, I had to specifically ask about the CE at GameStop, because the clerk had no idea about the pre-order deal. Then he switched the SKU from the regular edition to the CE. So you might want to confirm you're actually getting the CE if they didn't specifically tell you.
This is strange because until Tuesday Gamestop didn't even have a SKU other than the CE SKU. If you guys pre-ordered there prior to Tuesday then you should be getting the CE.

After my reply about what's going on.
Is it true that some stores don't even have it? Smells fishy to me...
Anyone have evidence about "some stores in Japan" listing it as 9/25? This is absurd at this point. I may just cancel in the end and wait for the NA release. I see no point to wait another week.

Sounds fishy..I live in a pretty not-populated place and my local store had no issue givin me a collector's edition.

Actually now Amazon has it as the 25th. The heck? Did they stop the shipments because of the freezing/PSN issues maybe?

Ok, if Amazon is listing it then I can get behind it, to some extent.
Could be they did recall it or something? How utterly strange. Just ship the game and fucking patch it. There must be something more going on for them to delay shipment like this.
Wondering if the other versions will get a delay now? Hope not.

I really hope the NA version doesn't get delayed for some reason. *knocks on wood*

Could any of the resident Japan GAF in this thread translate the first few tweets by this fellow:

I'm wondering if there is any information about what the hell is going on. Thanks!

bad gameplay lol
According to the link on that Twitter, From has suspended the online service, and is working on a patch to fix the issues, which should be released within the next week. Once a finalized schedule is available, it will be posted there.

Alright, thanks. Guess nothing extensive. Can't see why they would halt some shipments if they already figured it out. So, now it's quite the mystery. Frustrating as hell.
Already getting Play-asia orders? And to Arizona nonetheless, how much, roughly, was shipping if you don't mind me asking?
Ok then. This definitely has to do with the freezing issues that I've seen happen in almost every stream of the game. I really don't see how they could change the release once the game has already been released in japan though. That doesn't really make any sense to me.
Just patch it with a simple update man.

Damn, that's decent.
Though they are already saying 1 week for shipping ~ 9/30 - wonder if these import shops use the same suppliers or something. Could have run out of inventory already?
Zeal said:
I don't know man. No mention of it on FROM's official blog, or twitter. Plus they've already identified the problem. Seems crazy to halt shipments.

No online till next week? Geezus..I uh..well..I guess I'm not gonna play it till next week then. Online is an integral part of the experience for me.
Ouch, all the JAmazon reviews are killin the game for the freezes. It sure pissed me off this morning too. Man..botched launch. But I guess it gives the rest of the world a bit of time to catch up? Unless you imported..

And even then, some people won't even get their copies for another week+ because of some weird shipping delay. Not as bad as say Dead Island, and they figured out the issue quickly and will get it up ASAP I'm sure. It definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but the shipping issue, well, I don't know who to be mad at over that. Paid a lot of money for that and part of it was to play a couple weeks in advance. Not sure what to do, cancel and just ride it out or wait.

Do all you guys who are importing able to read Japanese? 'Cause from what I've seen of these streams there's a whole lot of it.

Honestly? Say you get it middle of next week..Weds/Thurs. Now you basically have a week to run through the game before it's released domestically right? I dunno about you but it took me about a month of nice slow gameplay to get through DS. Unless you're getting it for your collection, might be wiser to bite the bullet, cancel, and save the money. I have the damn thing sitting here and I won't even play it haha.

There definitely is. I can read a small amount but nothing great. The import copy was my chance to go in blind to the story, small details of items/weapons etc, and just play the game. Then with the NA release I'd really go all out soaking it up.
Getting my $103 dollars back sounds very tempting right now. I thought I'd be traditional and import, but the circumstances with Demon's Souls were much different; not very logical I know.
worldrevolution said:
Good point really, I don't know. I'm torn. Feel like I'm already in too deep! Like I said, having multiple copies of DeSo didn't bother me, and I wouldn't mind having the JPN copy in my "collection" so to speak in the end. A lot of was about supporting FROM too so...
Though I would play it offline
Even though I'm quite looking forward to co-op runs.

You will, hopefully NAMCO is on top of all this. We'll have to wait and see how it's handled.

Ack..that's a lot. Though I guess with the exchange rate at what it is and quick shipping that's what it costs. Yeah I'll probably play the game a bit offline but unless I'm getting invaded or helping someone as a phantom the game just isn't the same for me. I need options!

Just cancel. That money can be used to support other developers as well. I'm sure From doesn't expect people to import en masse, given the game is in Japanese, and it releases so soon in the West.

Cancel, get some other game with extra money.
