Ni No Kuni Collector's Edition for EU/NA [failure level well beyond critical mass]
- Thread starter rockman zx
- Start date
Price is $99, my total was closer to $120 after California tax and 2 day shipping.
And apparently the game is indeed on the easier side.
according to another poster in this thread the game is getting an easy mode, because it's commonly complained that it's too hard....

AWESOME!!! When do they charge?
XIII got an easier mode too, even though it needed a hard.
What the hell is wrong with Japanese developers.

Thanks! I swear by Amazon, but i just could not passs this up. I love Studio Ghibli! And this looks to much like Dragon Quest VIII, which is my favorite JRPG of all time.

They immediately took $112 from my bank account when I ordered yesterday. Total was actually $111.86 but I guess they rounded it when taking it out. Hopefully just checking it and will put it back. I checked today and I only got a dollar back so far. I dunno what they're doing but it better go back in full soon.

Same here. They deducted, then credited, but then deducted again.

Actually i've heard that the game gets VERY difficult later on and requires lots of grinding. :/

The encounter rate is also supposed to be high due to the enemies being so quick. So, there are definite areas that they can tone down before the US release. I know Hino has said that they're going to be doing tweaking specifically for the Western release. That'll probably be eventually patched into the Japanese version.

Any word on whether the western game is the vanilla release or is it based on the DC version they are putting out in Japan with all the DLC?

Yeah i hope so.The high encounter rate could get annoying fast.

I forget where I read it, but I heard the NA/EU version will basically be the All-in-One version that Japan is getting. I hope I read that right. lol
Also, if all my money isn't back in my account in a couple of days, I'm gonna be asking them what's up. =l

I believe that's the case, but i'm not completely sure. I know that they've said that they're going to be working on more DLC once the Western release is finished.

Do we know if the regular edition will at least have that dlc voucher code in new copies?

So I walked into this thread, and saw the collectors edition... and you know how I'm a sucker for wizard books, so I bought it. And it cost a $116 dollars.
Fin.
Just thought I would let everyone know since I consider it a big deal.

Just thought everyone would like to know. I've never heard of an online store doing this, the thing isn't even out for half a year.
Definitely not doing business with Namco. Tricked again!

That is not legal at all.
Raise some hell with them.
Bullshit reply.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
Uh. What.
The company that namco uses for their online store is apparently very shady according to some CAGs.

Stop payment on that charge, problem solved. Call your credit card company.

I still haven't gotten my money back from that pending transaction from them yet. It better at least be going back. I think it's weird you can't change shipping addresses or anything even if it has half a year before release. I want this, but I really don't want my money being held like that right now. =/
This is their response email. Almost an exact copy of the original:

Kagari mentioned just going to my bank (I believe someone here said the same thing). That's exactly what I am going to do.

Yeah they charged me twice, so i called my bank and had the transaction cancelled. I do not understand how there US shop is in business?

Agreed. It's still pending but it has been cut from my available funds. I'm giving it another day or two to see if they put it back. Though it seems like a stupid idea to take the whole charge to check my that my account is applicable instead of taking like a dollar.
