What's the spoiler policy for this thread? Saw someone talking about a certain boss without any spoiler tags a few pages back.
I remember at the time thinking that I'd get most likely get the PS3 version first and then maybe the Vita version later. Thought it wouldn't take them this long to release it since they had announced it for the 10th anniversary. Surely it wouldn't take them over 2 years to release it.
Getting the Vita version too. Maybe I'll get the PS3 version later if I can find it for $20 or less.

Well don't I just look silly! Excellent news.

This one I might be able to platinum. I don't see any speed beating trophies, or no dying, nor not changing equipment. Dodging the lightning and getting wakka's reels will be a bitch though. I hate blitzball.

I didn't like X-2 that much, but this song is easily one of my favourite game soundtracks of all time
I don't know if the video counts as spoilers. If you don't want to get spoiled, just let the song play in the background^^
Can't wait for this game. I have the LE pre-ordered and will hopefully get it in less than two weeks (Germany).

My interest in this dwindled considerably since it was announced, but I was still gonna Gamefly this on Vita until I saw this:
I guess what I'm reading on the cover there is that X-2 is a download code?

You were going to rent it? :lol
Yeah only 10 comes on the cart due to space limitations. X-2 comes as a voucher. I'm assuming they take out the voucher for those who rent it
That's not Utada Hikaru. The Japanese version is performed by Kumi Koda and the English version is performed by Jade from Sweetbox.Any Utada Hikaru fanboys/girls here? - 1000 Words

Oh god, you're right. Now that's embarrassing. I will edit my post
For some reason I always assumed it was her.
It was always 3/18. It says that on the receipt and the release page gamestop hands out. It is also on the giant poster they have in store.
Getting both to play on the 21st! Digital PS3 so we can play on multiple consoles, and retail Vita because even with 2 PS3's it might not be enough! Doing bits and pieces on the go during breaks at work will be useful as well.
A combined £50 quid to be able to play FFX HD on 3 devices at the same time is worth it. Now if only we didn't need to get FFX-2 with it! Would have cheaper and more worth it

I feel better now, but I'm still trusting them about as far as I can throw them.
So help me if there's a repeat for Drakengard 3.
Oddly enough, both games, are pretty similar
I hope so. I finished X and hated the shit out of it. I'm ready for X-2, never played it before and has Rikku in skimpy clothing. What can go wrong?
gonna be stalking the BST thread.

Nice OT fellow GAFfer, simple and clean.
Okay, we all know March is going to be a busy month and I had to budget really hard, however I decided to pre-order this game for my PS Vita. It's been paid since January and I hope I can play it on the next Friday (hoping the mail to not delay my order).
However, I think I need some advice from my good and amazing GAFfers. I love these games but I always have trouble finishing them. In fact I have left some unfinished some RPG's with a lot of hours put into it, at which I stopped around the final Boss or near it (FF XIII-2, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, etc). So I would like to know what's the best strategy to level up and have fun. I'm not really looking for a challenge, just want to focus on the Story mostly, so with that in mind, what should be the best approach? Grind really hard at the start or that does not make sense? Any tips you could provide will be good, thanks in advance my good people!

Aeana would know better than I would
My advice for FFX would be simply not to run from random encounters. It has a pretty natural difficulty curve if you simply fight your way through regular fights, upgrade your sphere grid normally and upgrade your weapons/aeons/etc. when each new system unlocks.
If there's any grinding needed, it'll be around the end once you unlock the omega dungeon, but even that is not quite necessary to complete the game.
Of course that stands for the regular game, I have no idea how the international version's (optional) expert grid factors into that.
That is good to hear, since I'm really enjoying ToS. (my only experience with FFX was with a jampack demo back in the day)

Nah, man. Wakka is a bro to the end. He'd never leave you stranded, and he'd always let you crash on the couch.
Wakes is an interesting case.
(general character spoilers, just in case)
His design and mannerisms are annoying, but he is a useful character. He's pious and superstitious and stubborn, which can be seen as undesirable traits, makes it hard to sympathize with him much. He's reluctant to push back against what he was taught, doesn't want to make ripples, as it were. He blames those sorts of actions for his brother's death to justify his position. Having a playable party member like that coming around to slowly accept what needed to be done was an interesting enough dynamic, even if the result was a character that few people care for.
(general character spoilers, just in case)
I can't stand Wakka. Little irks me more than religious fanaticism and Wakka's constant Yevon devotion made it impossible for me like him. Yeah it's necessary to give the player an idea of how the world works in order to deliver meaningful impact for future revelations. But the byproduct of it all just makes me hate him, something which is very rare for me in anything, let alone games and other entertainment mediums

I never knew Wakka was so disliked until this thread. He's alright, I thought. Kind of annoying in his views, but he comes around eventually. I just imagine him as Bender when I play the game.

THANK GOD.
I came home late from a party and i was actually awake at 5:30 am when that dreaded message came in.
Picture me screaming like Kirk in Wrath of Khan: "DIGITAL RIVEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!"
What else would they do, skip it?

Its just a shame though in order to get his reels, you have to play blitzball.

Yeah... I try to avoid Blitzball, lol. I might try it more in this playthrough, though.
Nah, I didn't hate anyone from the main cast really. The only one I felt indifference to was Kimahri.

We get an all new special 60Hz mode!
Blitzball can be cheesed easy enough if you recruit the right people early on. Even more so if you wait till later in the game. A certain midfielder breaks the game.
And instead of playing several tournaments and leagues, you can keep resetting the mode until you get the prizes you want.

There is no LE for the Vita?
Blitzball is pretty cool, actually. I always loved FF's mini-games.
