FFXV copies out in the wild (street date broken in Peru, possibly elsewhere)

I am one of the few people on here who really loves FFXIII...for me XV is not a guaranteed improvement and doesn't need to even be to meet my hype. Whilst loving it I know how bad some of the choices it made regarding story/game design are though. But something about that game resonates with me so much I just love it overall. FFXV can fall well short of XIII in my eyes and still be a great experience for me. In my posts better than XIII will never really mean anything...nor does worse than XIII. Knowing that... I am going in with hardly any trepidation tbh.

However I am only now realising how much XIII-2 and LR which I both didn't like much put down my FF hype over the last 6 years and coloured my perception on the XIII saga. Had I only had XIII and XV was out in 2013 for PS4 launch it would've been better for me personally.
 
PS4 is the way to go.

Thanks, appreciate recommending the right way to go version wise. Sucks about the game sharing with my buddy but I like the PS4 controller to just not as much as the X1. From responses appears PS4 version it is which honestly makes sense anyway since I'm planning on upgrading to the pro at some point probably after holidays when money isn't as tight anyway. Thanks again though.
 
Yeah I got one from him earlier too (of the three he had available). I screwed up and forgot to pay extra for express overnight. I had to PayPal him the extra money for overnight. Here's hoping I actually get it tomorrow.

I paid for the 1 day and I am in CT. Hopefully 1 day from Virginia to CT can get it to me tomorrow but at the latest Friday? Guess it depends on when he drops it off to be shipped out.
 
PS4 looks significantly better than X1 on FFXV.

Press previews of the first 5 chapters were positive.

That's great news, getting lost in this world for a few hours or more each night is just what I need these days. Thanks for the info and recommendation, PS4 it is.

still, selling only discs seems really fishy.

It is fishy, but looking at his previous feedback history, he also sold watch dogs 2 early (disc only) and it was legit... so i said fk it, i dont need a box, its $10 cheaper, AND i get thanksgiving weekend to play it early.

Also if you ever get scammed on ebay, 100% of the time ebay sides with the buyer. Plus i have his address on paypal.

Starts at 7:30pm GMT so you still have 40 minutes. Its some London premiere event with Odeon cinemas taking part who will be live streaming it followed by a screening of Kingsglaive

I think they will be live streaming it on the internet as well...but there's no link to be found. :/
 
Jealous of people getting this early. On the other hand, my semester ends Monday, and FF XV will be a good tonic to all the paper grading I need to do =P

Zmart, I KNOW you have the game, you've been teasing us with it ever since the original Peru leaks...RELEASE THE F**KIN' GAME NOW!!!

The game is available in 8-bits too.

Haha they've got chocobo crossing signs set up in London for the event. Stage all set up.

Ordered overnight from him, will report back when I get it (NY)

May be pointless if I get it friday though and the stores here start selling around the same time(fri/sat)

Hmmm I think I just saw someone on instagram who might of got one from the guy. He was only holding the disc with no case which is kinda odd when every other in hand photo has been the case and it's contents.

Does anyone know if the regular, non-day one edition has the thank you note and reversible cover for North America?

Debating on if I should set myself back a day by driving around looking for a copy or just going digital. The regular box art is so bad I find little value in getting a physical copy... but it almost doesn't seem right doing this for a new FF

Saw online the physical copies arrived in Pittsburgh. So I gather a lot of places, both chains and independent stores, are getting them now in the US.

Final Fantasy has always meant much more to me than Souls, but I never, ever want to get myself too hyped for the FF games. I will restrain myself from posting too many characteristic-types of posts but I will gladly share my enthusiasm once I actually start playing the game.

Can't wait

I just need this to be either

a) A good story, or
b) A good open-world game

and I'll feel satisfied. Doesn't even have to be both. It was in development hell, I know it'll be rough around the edges. That's okay.

Gonna have to resist the pull of spoilers for one more week. I don't know why I'm so hyped, I pretty much hate JRPGs and disliked both FFX and FFXIII. Yet the story surrounding the development of this game has been in my life for so long that I can't help but be there on day 1 to see what all this mess was always about.

Is there any kind of general consensus on the story or gameplay yet? Basically is it clear that they've done a great job or horrible job at either? I'm worried by the time the game is out the story could already be a laughing stock among people who have played it, like FFXIII's ended up being.

Also, this is officially the first game where I'll be thinking 'shit, I wish I could wait for the PS4 Pro'. Is there really a huge difference in visuals?

EDIT: There's a PS4 Pro in my local electronics shop but it's $1,050 us dollars, so... nah, thanks

Really surprised SE didn't want to get this out before Black Friday. Seems like an ideal time to release it if the game's already breaking street dates.

My friend ordered yesterday and got it today. I would pull the trigger if I knew he was shipping today and I would have it by tomorrow.

I ordered mine around 12 EST and he said he was taking it to the post office an hour afterwards. Status still says "pre shipment" so we'll see.

Just received my copy in the mail from the eBay disc guy, so I can at least confirm the actual disc is legit. About to start finally playing!

Jason Kidd murdered my dog in cold blood!
Ordered yesterday around noon, and... yeaaah, I rushed it...

Okay, I bit and ordered from him too. I still have hope to find a copy in NYC on Friday but I need to hedge my bets, as I want to be playing over the weekend.
