I will be following this thread for sure. I know next to nothing about the game, and I figure I'll clue in now. Woot.

 

[CloudV]

おつかれー Awesome layout, and building up my hype for next week. I sure hope Amazon Japan does release day delivery!

Reserve it at Bic or Lawson

I paid 7890 by reserving at Lawson. I don't know where you can get it for cheaper!

 

[Acosta]

Nice thread, congratulations. I guess I'll keep an eye the first days to check for early impressions and get into blockade until march or I will do something stupid as importing.

I noticed that the conbini's dropped the price even more the last couple of weeks but Amazon Japan was cheaper, 7,387 yen, with free shipping. Looks like they've stopped pre-orders now though, all that's left is marketplace stores trying to sell it for 10,500 yen(!)

 

[Negator]

Beautiful thread, nice thing to see before I go on my three month internet hiatus to dodge FFXIII spoilers.

 

[Darkpen]

Incredible OP, Kagari. Very awesome and slick.

 

[onken]

Damn the bundle box-art is so much better, no fair.

 

[Fakto]

Waah ! first time that I understant everything about the FFXIII background, so well explained in so few lines.
Thanks Kagari, well done !

 

[Mailenstein]

Great Thread! I'm so ready for this shit, bitches! 22nd can't come soon enough !

 

[Slackbladder]

This thread makes me want to import the game but I can only read 4 words in Japanese. I guess that would seriously hamper my playing experience, huh?

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

The wait to play this game will be painful!

I don't know a single word of Japanese and I'm still importing.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

FFFUUUUUUUUUU.......

I absolutely have to go preorder this somewhere. Any certain stores giving out any good swag with the preorder?

 

[Althoran]

Excellent OP.
Also very informative since I didn't read everything in the other thread.
So this seems like a bit of a merge between the good things from X (leveling system) and XII (hunts + gambits) and some new stuff.

Very excited about it now. Still not going to import though. I need to clear a bit of my backlog.

 

[-WindYoshi-]

Can't wait for the game, but damn do some characters have some ugly ass names...

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It's a nice thread. Too bad I won't be able to click on it after December 17th until probably April when I've finished the English NA version.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I'm considering importing. I'd probably enjoy the game more if I didn't have to put up with the story, to be honest.

I love mystery of playing games I can't understand, and slowly becoming familiar with all the menu items through muscle-memory alone. It's weird.

I guess it will depend entirely on how intricate and understandable the system is when using a basic English interface guide.

 

[hamchan]

Great thread.
Not enough dough to buy anymore games until next year so I might as well wait until march to play it. I'll be jealously lurking this thread for impressions

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Will the story have english subtitles?

 

[neojubei]

Great thread kagari. Cannot wait to play this next Friday.

 

[klee123]

Excellent thread. Can't wait till next week.

 

[NoctisXIII]

Can't wait to get my hands on the japanese import version

 

[Aspiring]

This is THE most beautiful Thread i have ever seen in my life. I want the game sooo badly but dont have the slightest clue about the Lapanese language. Still, this thread makes me want to import. Beautiful.

 

[jett]

Real nice thread Kagari.

 

[Virro]

Should just change the thread title to "FINAL FANTASY XIII THREAD OF MOST BEAUTIFUL OP". Seriously great job, Kagari.

Not gonna import as of now, the NA release can't come soon enough.

 

[sweetvar26]

OP is a thing of beauty

 

[robertsan21]

Sweeeet thread!

game out in a few days

 

[Shuusui]

Beautiful thread -- I'm so pumped for when my import arrives.

Will the story have english subtitles?

No.

 

[Lafiel]

Will the story have english subtitles?

Why do people keep asking this question about jp tiltes? if it did, they would probably make a huge deal about it in the OP.

 

[luffeN]

damn you Kagarai, I just ordered the OST and the poster set xD thanks!

 

[Tokyo Rain]

Beautiful OP.

CBF waiting in line. So I'll have it the next day via Amazon Japan.

 

[bomb_jack]

Hmm I ordered mine from renchi.com and the fedex tracking number they gave me says this.

Anticipated ship date

Dec 10, 2009

Estimated delivery

Dec 16, 2009 by 6:00 PM

Surely this can't be right?

 

[Ninja Moomin]

awesome artwork.

Congrats on the thread - in terms of 'look' it's my fave-ever.

 

[Girsej]

Beautiful op is beautiful, nice work Kagari!

 

[matmanx1]

Beautiful and awesome, OP. Thanks for the thread and everything looks great. Less than a week to go now!

 

[Android18a]

Got mine ordered Hoping I can be playing it asap

 

[squall211]

Nice thread, good job OP.

 

[suffah]

Thanks for making the thread.

Play-asia sent me a coupon code yesterday - just ordered my copy.

Kinda hope it doesn't get here until January...got too much to do until then.

 

[kyo_daikun]

Great thread mate, highly impressive!

Does anyone know why the bundle version uses the european box art? I was hoping it was going to be the lightning riding Odin one so I wouldn't have 2 FFXIII's that look pretty much the same.

 

[No_Style]

I was expecting a pretty thread and was not disappointed. Nice work.

 

[DMeisterJ]

This feels like the KZ2 launch...

After so much time, it's finally coming to pass. Shame I won't be playing it for a few more months.

 

[Hobbun]

I am not too excited for this game like the rest of you are with some of the decisions the FF XIII team have made, but I did want to say you’ve done a wonderful job on the OP, Kagari.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Times like these, I wish I knew Japanese.

Speaking of which, how do non-Japanese-speaking players get through the game? Are there translations readily available online somewhere?

 

[robertsan21]

thanks for explaining the Battle system Kagari!!

sounds great and lets hope that you also can Chain enemies like in FF12, and if you chain a lot you get special drops

 

[LowParry]

Thanks for the OP, Kagari! Very nice.
