looks like the first of early copies are being sold in retail stores today (or atleast, first of early copies to people posting on 2ch) so...highly recommend staying away from there if you can read Japanese.

Also, I recall the usual 2ch flying-getter dude saying he wasn't going to post this week due to FFXIII, so might as well avoid sokuho@geha altogether starting now :P
 
Cannot wait for some soundtrack rips to hold me over until it's officially released. Hey, I can't help that it doesn't come out until next month but that isn't going to stop me from hearing most of the OST, not a damn bit.
 
Still seems weird, aside from FF10, this is the only FF I have not imported from Japan at/shortly after release since FF7. Y'all have fun.
 
I can hold you, Exodu5, if you liiiiiiike.

Why not? The mob system looks to be back, and they really have put a lot of work into the battle system. Have you tried the demo?
 
2ch is a definite stay away. You've got twats already posting supposed end game spoilers in the thread titles. Whether it's true or not, you're better off staying away.

Unless you know, you are like me and don't care about spoilers =D I'll get the same enjoyment playing through it anyways. (But I know I am special in that regaard)
 
Yea, luckily it's not like MGS4 where English speakers were posting fake spoilers all over the place.

And unlike any of the MGS4 spoilers, these are brand new characters so I don't know much about them. Not as huge of a loss, I guess.

Yep, if i read any spoilers on FF13. I'll probably 100% forget them by the time i actually play the game. And it's mostly because of that fact.
 
Sweet, P-A will be shipping my copy out on or before release date. Can't wait!

If P-A was gonna delay my order I was seriously contemplating on getting one of those LE FFXIII PS3s since there's a seller on ebay having 6 of them in stock at a reasonable price.

Screw everyone's game moving into dispatch. Why hasn't there been any movement on my clear file and trading cards?!
Click to expand...
I e-mailed Play-Asia about the clear file not having a definitive date. They replied saying they don't have a definitive date from their supplier and recommended I substitute something else in it's place to avoid having to wait.

I've replied to them requesting a substitute for something else that's the same price, waiting for their reply.

If you don't want your order held up, you should probably cancel stuff that just says Release date: Dec 2009, or otherwise substitute something else in.
 
Hey Kagari; I found the controller mapping information on one of the FF fansites and did an overhaul (it wasn't very nice looking). I can post it on here if you are interested in throwing it up on the OP. Could be useful for those of us that will have more of a challenge with the language barrier. I know I'll be using it until I have it memorized.

I'll post it in any case, feel free to use it if you like.

I can't wait to get this in the mail in the next couple of days! This is an early Christmas present to myself! :lol
 
Please, Squenix, PLEASE allow us to invert the camera controls this time. I had to re-learn how to turn the camera just for FFXII, and then un-learn again after I was finished with that game.

The old demo had camera controls for Vertical invert/normal and Horizontal invert/normal. Don't see why the final game won't.
 
If there is ever going to be a limited edition FFXIII slim PS3 with 250GB in Europe, I am all over it.

Right now the imported game will do.

Wait, there is still no word on how many discs the 360 version comes as?

Is it even coming out the same day as PS3 in Japan?

It's not coming out in Japan.
 
One of you guys should stream yourselves playing the game live while making snarky comments the way Gamespot did a few years back. I remember the live stream they did of Oblivion, it was hilarious and awesome.

Most of the other games had zombies, silly. I doubt there are Spanish soccer players in it, too.

Last new console I bought was..my American PS2/Gamecube. I have no idea what a "mob system" is.

Ok after seeing that fight, color me impressed. I like how the thing wasn't defeated easily. I'm no longer on the other side of the fence. I especially like the over world, reminds me of ffxii, and ffxi. I really hope it's a very meaty game, with lots of loot and great fights. Now that it seem like even the filler mobs are good fights I bet there's a lot to do in the game.

They got one-shotted by King Behemoth twice.

I love how at the beginning that one chick is like, OMG I'M SCARED I WANT MY MOMMY and then the guy with the glasses grabs the controller and he's like WATCH THIS and King Behemoth stomps his foot once and the whole party dies instantly. :lol

I guess there are no "trash mobs" in this game? Every mob is at least an Elite? That explains why you can restart fights and bail out of them. This is quite different from the traditional ATB fight of "hold X for 3 minutes" during trash mob fights. I have to say, I'm impressed too.

Squenix really likes to show us Fang even though you can guess from how Fang's Theme is on Disc 4 of the soundtrack that you don't get her until late in the game.
 
Wait, that was King Behemoth? :( he looks like a elephant. That should be a Notorus Monster, no wonder they died so easily. Hmmm
 
I love the fact that you can see the enemies' HP bar. Love that in rpg's. I don't remember the FF games before FFXII having that.

I think that's because in FFXII and FFXIII enemies are hit with rapid multiple attacks so it's difficult to see how many damages you're doing without a life bar.
