Just got this in an email.

 

[doctorcdcs]

I got that same email as well. So the physical disk release can only be had by buying it from the Square Enix Store?

 

[Cornbread78]

well, this is a little unexpected and very much appreciated. I guess my PS3 will never go to bed.... Dark Souls 2, Tales of Xillia 2, Lightning Returns, Drakengard 3, I might just have to delay my PS4 purchase until we get a release date for FFXV and KH3 (2015 and 2016 presumably)


Although, I may cry if I have to stay away from 64 player BF4 and Shadowfall...

 

[yaffi]

I'd recommend The Dark Id's LP instead.

Oh wow, this is hilarious.

 

[Gameboy415]

I am SO freaking happy right now!!!!!!

The site seems to be down at the moment but I am going to pre-order a copy from Square-Enix's online store as soon as humanly possible.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

If that ensures an actual physical release, I'm fine with it.

 

[WickedLaharl]

Digital River?

I don't care if it was my most anticipated game of all time because I'll never do business with a company that uses them again.

 

[fvng]

Should I check out Drakengaurd 1 +2? Is it too late to go back graphics wise?

pcsx2 should resolve any graphical concerns you have

If you can stomach Drakengard 3's graphics, 1 and 2 shouldn't be much worse.

oh come on, the graphics aren't bad. Does every game need to look like the last of us? Gamers put up with lesser graphics on psn/xbla games. If you tolerated Nier's graphics, you'll be fine.

Digital River?

I don't care if it was my most anticipated game of all time because I'll never do business with a company that uses them again.

I don't blame you. 20 copies of Drakengard 3 will be on eBay for 3x the price without a doubt.

I really wish more companies did this as long as they do not kill you in shipping. Especially for VITA titles, where I would definately rather have physical releases. Here's lookign at yout Atelier.

Awesome! This looks excellent and I absolutely loved Nier, Is it weird that I liked the trailer music?

Um, is there an exact page where it all goes to hell? There's a lot of pages lol.

Digital River is a really, really awful company. If you order from them, literally do not expect to get your copy. Hope for the best, expect the worst. I believe I'm 0/3 with them.

 

[fvng]

What happened with Digital River?

They didn't fulfill many preorders for the limited edition Ni No Kuni, then all those preorders magically appeared on eBay for like triple the price. If i'm not mistaken the eBay seller was in cahoots with some guy over at Digital River and arranged the whole thing. Fucking lames

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hesemonni]

Awesome news gg S-E!

 

[Seth Balmore]

Physical release is Square Enix store exclusive.
Meanwhile at Capcom...

Dammit I want to secure a physical copy since we won't get a physical release in Europe but S-E's USA store predictably only ships to countries in the American continent ;________;

I doubt the European store will sell the physical version judging by what the PR says... Aw man, I need to befriend someone in the US by the time the release date is revealed, fffff

EDIT: Well it seems the e-commerce company that works with S-E's store is the worst ever? That sucks. I really really really want a disc version of this game...

Holy shit.

 

[FlyFaster]

Very happy there is going to be an English release.

 

[Yazuka]

Does someone know if Square Enix online store, does internatinal shipping? I'm on my phone now and the site is slow for me, so I can't check.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Anyone know if the Square store charges on ship or not?

 

[Mature]

Holy shit.

Yeah, it got messy.

When the A Realm Reborn CE went up for pre-order on SE's store, I gathered some choice quotes from that NNK thread to dissuade people from buying via DR.

This makes me frown. I kinda wanted to get it.

 

[meltingparappa]

Buh... but if i order from Digital River, the worst thing is that they'll just cancel shipment of my game and not tell me until like... the week of?

They won't leak my credit card or refuse a refund or "send" a package without tracking or anything, right?

How did DR handle the FFXIV CE? Any better?

I want the physical edition of the game, and this is the only way to get it. I'll take my chances and then complain if necessary.

Correct. You may not be guaranteed to get a copy, but considering this is going to be the only possible way to get a physical English copy you have nothing to lose and no alternatives. Worst case you walk away without the game and your money refunded and then buy the digital version.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Digital River also sent MvC3 preorders mad late.

 

[distantmantra]

Hey Kagari,

Ask SE why the hell they're using Digital River to handle distribution. That's the best question you can ask.

 

[Yazuka]

And please tell them to offer a disc version from their EU shop. Really want a disc version.

 

[Holmes]

These Digital River folks seem like crooks. This is the only way to get the game physically (barring it appearing on eBay and Amazon afterwards for a much higher price)?

 

[Mr.Monitor]

Fuck yeah. Day one.

 

[doctorcdcs]

Does Square Enix's Online store charge your card on pre-orders right away? or only when the product ships?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Yeah, I'd like to know this since I can't afford to pre-order right now if it charges straight away.

 

[Alessandro]

I remember having read an interview of Taro on Siliconera in which he said to not expect a Nier 2 in terms of themes, story, etc. but I can't find it on the website. I might be confusing comments in previous threads with something I've read, someone can confirm or deny that interview?

 

[meltingparappa]

The checkout process is not currently available. Please try again later

Well that's off to a good start.

 

[Esura]

Damn, they charge for preorders...

Yeah, I'd like to know this since I can't afford to pre-order right now if it charges straight away.

They charge....

There goes my Pokemon X money. What's up with all these selling places charging for preorders all the time lately?

 

[doctorcdcs]

Yeah.... I got the same message.


Did you get that message when you tried completing your order? Or just when it came to logging in?

I got that when I tried logging in on the checkout page.

 

[MechaX]

Oh God, they're using Digital River?

I might actually get it on PSN (which I usually never do with full games like this) if that's the case.

 

[vic2020]

They charged me instantly for my pre-order, I also haven't received a confirmation email yet, half an hour later.

 

[Lusankya]

Now I am also interested in Nier, but isn't this game available on the PSN?

 

[Wilsongt]

...I'm okay with this.

 

[kiryogi]

They charged me instantly for my pre-order, I also haven't received a confirmation email yet, half an hour later.

That's how they work . . .I plan to place a preorder soon.

Guess this will be the first full retail game I buy digital.

 

[Shinta]

Just got this in an email.

Alright, I'm in. I was going to import so I really appreciate the announcement before JPN release.

And at reduced price?

Getting this and importing the OST. Can't wait.

 

[fvng]

digital river, that's the shit i don't like

 

[Clov]

They charge right away? I haven't checked my credit card yet, but the store's website claims "For purchases of physical products, you won't be billed until your product is shipped. This includes any preordered or backordered products. If your items are shipped separately you will be partially billed each time a product is shipped."

 

[meltingparappa]

Yeah.... I got the same message.


Did you get that message when you tried completing your order? Or just when it came to logging in?

I got that when I tried logging in on the checkout page.

Yeah, that was from logging in.

Trying to make a new account gives me a "Password cannot be only alphabetic characters, only numbers, or only symbols " error, no matter what I do.

EDIT: Apparently what that message means is that it needs alphabetic and at least one numeric character.
