Wow, fantastic op
Can't waitttt

 

[Majmun]

This will be my first and probably last post in this thread.
Just want to say the OP is great, but has a few (iintentional?) spelling errors in the first few sentences.
I really can't wait for the game.

 

[sinxtanx]

Cool thread, really hyped for the game, but since I don't know japanese very well...I'll have to wait a few months(which is good because I am low on money right now). See you in that thread!

 

[DieH@rd]

OP wins.

 

[-PXG-]

I assume you live on the West coast Kagari. Damnit. I wanted to be on page 1. Nice thread though

 

[Alucrid]

Beautiful. But I guess since Japan isn't getting a LE we're not either, right?

 

[-PXG-]

This is the first time I've ever been on a media blackout for a game. I have almost no idea what it's about, aside from the main character's names, their summons and playing the demo a few months ago. No way in hell am I going to spoil an FF game. Any other game, sure, but not this.

I had no idea the the leveling system was the like the Sphere Grid. Consider my hype multiplied by 100000000000.

 

[Volcynika]

I'd consider importing it, but since I don't understand a lick of Japanese, I don't think I'd be able to figure out how to beat the game :lol

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It's beatiful

I'm hyped even if I get to play a few months late.

 

[Synless]

I want this so bad, I wish I knew Japanese. This is my most wanted game to release this generation. Well, this and Versus.

 

[angelfly]

Only six more days until I have this! After the years of waiting it's finally here. Hopefully it won't interfere at all with my studying.

 

[flintstryker]

Heh i didn't realize this was so close to release.

 

[JORMBO]

Nicely done. Can't wait for my copy to get here

 

[Digital-Hero]

Im just going to wait for Kagri's Impressions then black out

I'll be doing that as well. I'll have the official soundtrack next month and then I'm done.

 

[Dead Prince]

just saw this thread. fantastic job, Kagari

 

[donkey show]

Yay! Can't wait for next week, especially with taking a break from grad school! Good job on the thread.

I'll be playing this vicariously through my wife since she's the Japanese speaker. :lol

 

[Kaako]

You done good, Kagari. OP is dope.

 

[Scythesurge]

Damn, is this game really real? It's been forever since I was first excited for it! :lol

Can't fucking wait.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Thank you for the thread Kagari! I'm quite excited to make this my home for the next couple of weeks Really excited to get my copy...

 

[Perfect Blue]

A little lttp but good shit Kagari. I can't wait for some of these impressions

 

[Jonsoncao]

ok, my question is: any imported version has Eng sub?

 

[Calcaneus]

Shit, its finally here (well, not for another few months for me), we've been waiting for this game at least 3 years.

 

[qcf x2]

Wow, I'm a lil envious of you guys for getting to play this in a few days! Will definitely be checking back for impressions.

 

[140.85]

An official import thread with no suggestions on where to import? :\

 

[neojubei]

ok, my question is: any imported version has Eng sub?

Nope, sorry.

[Frostburn]

Great OP, very informative! Getting really excited, can't wait to hear the import impressions.

 

[-PXG-]

Damn. If it had English subs, I would do import this bad boy. Oh well....March it is.

 

[Meier]

Wow, I can't believe this comes out in Japan next week! Snuck up on me. Just a few more months for us, woohoo! *knock on wood*

 

[TheExodu5]

Awesome thread Kagari.

Anxious to play my first import game ever. You guys better help me out!

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

North America gets that boxart (though a little zoomed in) in March!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

this picture gets me hyped

 

[neojubei]

Love that picture, it looks like they going out looking for a fight.

 

[borghe]

very psyched, but forced to wait til march due to not knowing ANY japanese. very jealous of you guys next week.

 

[Orangepeel]

God I would kill for them to release the titles here in the states with just a white background and the ff logo ala their Japanese releases. Hope you importers enjoy it, the rest of us schmucks just have another 3 months or so "sigh"

PS, xmb themes please

 

[BlazingDarkness]

sample 10 tracks from the FFXIII OST disc 1

[Elios83]

Can't wait to read your impressions although I prefer reading impressions of people who have finished the game and that will take a while.

 

[jiggle]

and that will take a while.

"the end" photo will probably start appearing online by friday XD

The NA cover is much nicer than that:

First really good FF cover for NA, IMO (though FF XII LE was good as well).

 

[Kagari]

No, I live in eastern time.

 

[Y2Kev]

Why is NCSX so much more expensive than Play-asia? Is it the asian version?

 

[Keikoku]

Hope that impressions will be positive. Most wanted game after Mass Effect 2 and God of war 3.

 

[Kagari]

Why is NCSX so much more expensive than Play-asia? Is it the asian version?

Cause Play-Asia is offering it at a slight discount.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Please tell me someone has this nomchan screen at 1680x1050 or 1920x1200!

 

[Aokage]

Someone who rocks the Cantonese, please, please explain :lol

Say, does anyone in the LA area know where the absolute, uttermost speediest local import shop is? Unfortunately I'm going to be in LA for the XIII release (holidays at home, can you dig), and if there's a chance I might be able to get it locally faster than Play-Asia can ship it to me, I need to seize it.

At least the moms has a nice new Viera plasma and a decent 5.1 setup...

What? FFX had a GORGEOUS cover. This one's so... bland in comparison. It reminds me of the MGS4 cover that used a CG render of Old Snake instead of the lovely art that all the previous ones had used.

 

[imtehman]

very nice OP.

And with that, i am never coming back in this thread again.

i hate you all.
