Dante said:Damnit my EB not getting Folklore and Orange Box until Wed, why are they so damn inconsistant with releases
I sooooooo wanted to play this tonight.
Thats what their policy is lol
The game "Ships" on the day before, in this case being the 9th, and is avaliable (So long as you've pre-ordered it...Fucking Gamestop FTL) on the next "street date" or the 10th.
And for anyone who cares I have started up a blog and am filling it with my past posts. This has been maddening since the site doesn't follow the same HTML as NeoGAF...It should be ready by the posting of my next PM.

Does the Asian/Japanese version have an English option? I prefer that box art and name over the NA one.

I'm still at Chapter 1 with Ellen but I'm already loving this game. The story seems like it'll get very, very interesting although I'm not a huge fan of the comic book style storytelling. It's disorienting for a dramatic conversation to be marred by these energetic quick cuts and boring text. I wish they would have either went with traditional cutscenes or just a different method of storytellig in general. Gameplay wise its pretty awesome and the game overall is extremely atmospheric.

yes it speeds up loadtimes....disc installs approx 1gig of gamedata to your HDD
I didn't get to play this one till late, and now I have to do the usual posting on GAF before sleeping for work tomorrow >_<
Initial impressions:
* Wow the music is even better than I expected, I am really digging it.
* The scenery in the town is pretty nice too, wasn't expecting too much there. Reminds me of adventure games from the old days.
* It starts pretty slow, and felt even slower without voice acting. First time in awhile that I had to read
* Monsters are really weird, I knew the stylistic direction given the demo, but it definitely has one of the strangest looking group out there. A few of them are generic and have useless attacks though. I get this feeling that they look far more intimating than they actually are.
Can't wait to dig into more of it tomorrow.

Made it through the first area with Keats.
-Music is great, very atmospheric.
-Bored at the beginning, but it got better.
-The "grinding" to level up isnt tedious, at least to me.
One downside I found is that when pulling souls, it doesnt automatically pull those around you, just whats on screen. That sorta makes it frustrating when you have to move just to pull the monster next to you.

Im loving it, just started playing with Elle
Is it just me, or is the sound pretty soft on this? I have to turn my amp all the way up to 35, while other games just need 18.
I know from the demo Keats can "transform and do uber special moves" does ellen have some sort of special moves or is it folkmoves only with her?

the mechanic is odd at first, but I actually found how to work with it....essentially when you wanna pull multiple souls, you obviously have to make sure the folks are in close proximity of each other BUT ALSO make sure Keats/Ellen is actually facing the entire group....I actually like this because it makes you not just mash but actually make an effort to get them in just the right position, with flanking them and such....
Its certainly a small thing, but I think it adds alot and makes things feel not so automated...

Yeah, im getting used to it. It is satisfying though to set up a big group to pull them all at once.

Really can't wait... I had to fight the urge to pick this up at the store yesterday... Holding off for the TRU sale so I'll have it Sunday.
Anybody know if there is/is there going to be an artbook for this game?

Finished Ellen's prologue last night before Resistance and Keats just now. I'm having just as much fun with it as I did with Heavenly Sword. The comic storytelling doesn't bother me much but then again I read the Naruto manga weekly. I plan on going chapter for chapter with Ellen and then Keats so that one's story doesn't jump ahead of the other. Off to do chapter 1 with Ellen now

You mean like the Folks and pictures? If so then the NA version is in color. We also got behind the cover art again like in Heavenly Sword with Ellen, Keats and a bunch of Folks.Sin said:
