Ok, I'm buying this.
Got this with Meteos several days ago, I like it a lot more than I thought I would. The dual GBA/DS game slot on the DS is awesome I keep them both in the slots and switch between games seemlessly. The story although a bit generic, is bolstered by the art style, and it's dialugue which sometimes I find humorous. The battle system is new twist, but the slow pace of it puts me in a lull. The shenmue/ RE4 type QTB is a nice touch too, so far I'm likeing it, I think it was worth the $30.
I picked this up the other day, but so far I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's got some interesting conventions, but it's way too linear (so far at least, midway through chapter 2), and the fights drag on for way too long. I feel like I'm compelled to keep moving forward, but I don't feel like I'm enjoying it.
22 hours seems like a long time for this kind of repetitiveness...

I was going to go for FE:SS myself until I saw how quickly Riviera is going scary rare.

That's where I got mine, and it was the only place anywhere - e-bay, amazon, etc. - that I could still find it for a reasonable price.
My luck? They'll e-mail me in a day or two to let me know they ran out before they could ship my order. =/
I'm getting a whole ogre battle vibe from this game so far, not sure why. I guess its just the grid system and abstract battle controls.
the item limitations (especially the overall item limit of 20 or whatever) is beyond irritating.
The game itself is alright, but I like the battle system. I'm enjoying the game, but its just sorta taunting me with how much I could be orgasming over a new ogre battle game if they were to fucking make one already.

Anyone care to explain why walmart has it for preorder (08/08/2005)? The game has been out since late june I think.. Is it for a second shipment maybe?

The game saw a very small initial print run, and quickly sold out. eBay prices peaked, I believe, around $70 for a new copy little more than a month after it was released! Thank g-d for a second run. I imagine it means that Atlus met their initial expectations, are pleased with the results, and might consider localizing even more obscure JPRGs in the future. Bless them.
