Keep up, RPGCrazied!

Was it changed?!

 

[Cheska]

Was it changed?!

Emails have been sent now claiming the date is September 5th.

 

[BoilersFan23]

My email says Jan. 22nd just now.

 

[sandrockgundam04]

Just got a 'retraction' correcting the date back to January 2013.


Its worth noting here that Digital River is the company doing the fulfillment for NamcoBandai here...they do Mattel's fulfillment for their action figure subscription lines and are notorious at just being awful at what they do.

 

[atbigelow]

Got both emails. Funny stuff.

Would be nice if the release date was earlier.

 

[Dead Prince]

needs a third email to confirm it.

 

[FlyingTeacup]

Got both emails. Funny stuff.

yeah 2 email. i was quite pleased, now, i'm slightly annoyed.

the one game i really look forward to this gen after mgs4.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Would be nice! I didn't get a call from GS telling me the date changed or anything.

 

[Saint Gregory]

My email says Jan. 22nd just now.

Yep, I just got this email as well, an hour after getting one saying the date had changed to Sept. 4th.

I'm eagerly awaiting the 3rd email update in an hour letting me know that the game is actually sitting next to my PS3 right now.

Wizard's Edition indeed...

 

[Cheska]

Well, I guess that's all it took to shatter our hopes and dream....one hour. One hour for them to fix the mistake

 

[TimeEffect]

Seriously how is this not included for us spending $100+?

 

[Busaiku]

Seriously how is this not included for us spending $100+?

Cause it's a Gamestop exclusive.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Seriously how is this not included for us spending $100+?

You get a book and a plushie.

 

[LiK]

Seriously how is this not included for us spending $100+?

yea, i dunno why they can't just get a few thousand for us.

 

[Vaati]

Preordered the collector's edition today.

Is there a picture of the coin? I'm not sure what it is.

 

[Gillian Seed]

Hey bud, good to see you posting.

Placed my preorder this morning. Whether it releases next week or in January, I'm stoked! Now... have to find a way get that GameStop steelbook.

Hey buddy. I preordered a copy from Gamestop as well for the Steelbook. Usually i do not care much for things like that, but i am going all out on this game! I just got a second email saying release date January. LOL

 

[TimeEffect]

You get a book and a plushie.

Yeah... I want it all though lol.

So, are we getting the game the day of, or is it shipped the day of release?

 

[Busaiku]

Yeah... I want it all though lol.

There was no release date delivery on Namco's site.

 

[DigitalDevil]

Yeah i wish i could get the steelbook also....

Thinking about getting a second copy to keep sealed and then resell, but who am i kidding..... I'll never resell it.

 

[Reclaimer]

Think this collectors edition will actually be limited?

 

[TheChits]

Think this collectors edition will actually be limited?

Very

 

[DigitalDevil]

How many copies do you think there will be? 20,000? I think that may be very generous.

 

[omgkitty]

I'm wondering at what point they will stop the preorders. I wan't to buy the collector's edition, but I just can't afford it right now.

Supposedly on September 3rd.

 

[Raxious]

for those that live in the Netherlands, a couple of stores have added the CE to it's system and have it available for pre-order now.

 

[DigitalDevil]

I'm going to keep bumping this, in hopes that enough people will see and buy so we can hit the next target! Come on, people! Only two more days!

 

[omgkitty]

Supposedly on September 3rd.

Does it end on September 3rd if the next goal isn't reached? If it does make it does it keep going with a new bonus or what?

 

[DigitalDevil]

Nope, Monday is it whether we hit the next goal or not. If you haven't pre-ordered by then, your only hope will be Ebay.

 

[CharminUltra]

Wait, where can you pre-order the collector's edition? Or am I too late?

 

[omgkitty]

Here

 

[CharminUltra]

Here

Thanks much my good sir!

 

[omgkitty]

Thanks much my good sir!

As payment for my generosity, you must buy me a copy as well! haha

 

[RPGCrazied]

Any updates on those emails about releasing in September? I'm guessing it was in error.

 

[Canis lupus]

Seriously how is this not included for us spending $100+?

Why do we get only the standard version while we're paying the most?

 

[omgkitty]

Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a source for this? Information in general seems to be very scarce about this collector's edition availability.

 

[CharminUltra]

Just pre-ordered the collector's edition but................ GORRAM IT! You're saying we (CE buyers) aren't getting that sweet looking steel book? *POUT*

Might have to double dip.

From ninostarter.com,

Hey everyone! We’re almost at the 2nd goal with the deadline looming. To celebrate the Labor Day holiday and PAX Prime, we’re extending the pre-order date and the Ninostarter promotion through the weekend. This is going to be the only (and final) extension so you’ll have until the end of the day on Monday to reach the next goal. Also in case you missed it, our Canadian friends have also been set up on Club NAMCO to be able to order the Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Wizard’s Edition and the Ninostarter goals and items applies to Canada as well.

 

[DigitalDevil]

Why do we get only the standard version while we're paying the most?

My understanding is that it was a GameStop exclusive. My guess is that it was designed in house by them and approved by Namco. If that is the case, they may not be able to give it to us. :/

i'd take a holo case.

 

[omgkitty]

From ninostarter.com,

Thanks for this. So is there any way to order and not be charged until January?

As long as you don't use Paypal, they will only do a test charge that will be back in your account in a few days. If you use Paypal you will be charged immediately.

 

[wizzbang]

The english version will still have Japanese voices with subtitles, won't it? I'm not sure which version to play

didn't hear the japanese voice but the english sounds really good.

 

[omgkitty]

I caved. Nothing like spending twice as much as the game costs for the CE.

 

[dallow_bg]

Dang, I thought 4000 was the goal 2 number... Still not met with 4028.

 

[omgkitty]

Maybe the bar has to be manually changed and the numbers update automatically? I really hope that's the case...

Nice! Welcome to the club

Maybe the bar has to be manually changed and the numbers update automatically? I really hope that's the case...

I think the number of fans listed may be just the people who have "liked" on Facebook. Don't know for sure, but I think they are updating the percentage manually. It's taken a couple days for it to change before.

I think we may make it!

 

[zerokoolpsx]

To complete goal #2 is around 4300 or so. I'm still on the fence on this.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Can you still not cancel your order? That was the only thing that turned me off about it before... :/
