I didn't pop mine in yet either. I am trying to get through FF13 before starting another game.

Sorry you're having trouble finding it.
Edit: Damn me for putting "did" twice, that's what happens when you get hay fever.
Argh, if I can't find it tonight, then I'm going to cancel my preorder and buy it from the GameStop Website, since the page indicates that I'll get a soundtrack when I buy it from there, even without a preorder.Hero of Legend said:Did did in downtown Toronto and got the soundtrack right away!

No, this is disgusting, even if in jest (which I doubt):wrowa said:

Just got my copy, last one my Gamestop had.
Granted, they only got 2, but you know...

Got mine yesterday. Through some fault of either mine or Gamestop's, not sure which, the case got slightly cracked and a decent bit of the plastic around the cover ripped, so I think I'll take advantage of the back of the receipt's claim that opened new games can be exchanged for identical items for up to 30 days. Anyway, only played about 25 mins or so thus far, but it's been plenty pretty thus far, and I found the use of the Wiimote speaker a nice little touch.

Huh, so doomed1 is banned. Wonder what happened, seemed to still be posting a week ago...
Ah well. I guess this will be the temporary official thread until he's unbanned.

I don't know why, but I suddenly lost interest in this game... it was on my MUST BUY!!! list, but something happened, and now I'm like "bleh."
Maybe it's the bad impressions of the gameplay.
Graphics-wise, it looks awesome... for a Wii title. I had just finished a couple of previous gen titles too, and also Silent Hill Shattered Memories, so I'm more than welcome to play Wii games that aren't as graphically up to par with PS3 or 360.
I dunno what it is... just SOMETHING has me bothered about this game... so MOAR HYPE PLEASE!
I've only managed about 25 minutes tonight, but this game fucking OOZES atmosphere. They nailed that perfectly. Not too keen on the combat though. Seems pretty... janky.
Assuming the game opens up a bit, it'll probably have a very satisfying exploration element as well.
Tentative thumbs up.

Yeah I had to give up on the idea of getting it from Gamestop as the total price would have been around £60 to the UK. Problem is that the only OST being listed on eBay is about $30 excluding postage, which is insane for what is essentially a free CD.
Hopefully someone will stick a copy of that Moonlight Tracks up for around $15-20 so I can buy that and then just get the UK release cheap in a month when all the reviews have rolled in.

Already crossed my mind, but from the few scraps of info I've read it seems that the opening and ending themes aren't on the full Japanese OST.

Some people will find this a worthwhile struggle, other people will just find it a struggle. All the stuff that's wrong with it is gameplay-related.

Very true - in my case, the story and memories are what kept me plowing through. Worst design decision was the green light (it reveals secret messages on the walls). I didn't want to miss any, so from the point I got it onwards the whole game was one long green glow

The combat and controls are clunky.
The story and atmosphere are really gripping, though.

Hm. I've had a little trouble with the combat so farspecifically, it's hard to judge how close I am to any given enemy and I've even found myself attacking an enemy that was somehow behind mebut I can't say I've had any trouble with movement and flashlight use, apart from the apparent inability to look down at my feet. I was thinking it was working out rather well actually.
zigg said:
Yep, I'm pretty much of the same mind. You can crouch or back up, that'll allow you to aim lower, in a sense. Combat's pretty uninspired, but I actually rather dig the slight clunkiness to the movement. The measured movements and animations suit the game's atmosphere quite well.

I just beat this game last night. I wish the last event scene was longer.
Anyway, it took me just ten hours to finish. I didn't get all those items with memories. I almost ran past every enemy in the game. There were only a handful of enemies where I had no choice but to fight them due to the path being too narrow, not including boss enemies or that one room where you had to defeat the ghosts to get an important item.
The best parts of the game was the atmosphere. The environment and music drove the experience. The combat got old quick so I just avoided it. I really like how the Wii remote speaker was used. Some of the sounds creeped me out as I was roaming the game's many dark straightaways, turns, and corners.
Oh yeah, and I played the entire game with the english dub setting.
I enjoyed Fragile Dreams. Thanks for bringing it over Xseed!

His Wii taste is similar to mine. I think I'll pass.

Is it my wiimote or is the B button zoom ridiculously sensitive in this game?

Ah, so I don't have to engage in crappy game controls for the most part then? And as the reviews say, leveling up seems incidental. So I'm assuming enemies that you have to fight aren't that much harder to beat if you're under-leveled?
Interest increasing again.

Picked up my copy today.
Glad to see the person in front on me also purchasing a copy of the game.
EB Games gave me a copy of the Magna Carta 2 art book for some reason.:lol
