Cool thanks! I'm just hoping the story and characters are better than SO4. Well, and the awful twist of SO3.
I don't need an amazing narrative to enjoy the game, but the story has actively hindered my enjoyment of the last two titles.
Talking about gaffers impressions mostly but you are right.

I'm in the "ship my goddamn copy Amazon" party as well. Got prime so they better not screw it up. I remember they botched my Fallout 4 release day shipping, ended up coming 2 days later. Majority of the time they're on point, but it should've shipped by now.
Yes, dual audio is confirmed.

Still hasn't shipped from Amazon, I'm hoping they don't make it tomorrow so I can get that extra month of prime>
I'm getting it for review tomorrow, but the site I write for usually gets games a bit late. There definitely should be reviews soon though.

Check your order status. Amazon for me normally ships it between 16h00 and 17h00 most of the time. My order was at Shipping soon this morning and now it's at Preparing for Shipment

Seems like in most of the gameplay I have seen for this the areas all look the same. Not much variety. Is that the case in the full game?

I don't read Japanese reviews, I almost never rely on import impressions and there are too many games this summer to just drop money on games I might not like.
What's so hard to understand about that?

Review scores help sell games and most people won't look up import stuff. General public won't even know it was out anywhere else before hand. Not to mention in a lot of cases it is due to a lack of faith in the game's reception, hinting at bad dub or localization.
Oh, and Famitsu is the only JP reviewers I am passively aware of, and they rate everything 90+.

Yeah mine just says Shipping today. It may be near one of the fulfillment centers as one opened close by recently I think, so it may ship this afternoon and get here really fast (hoping).
Haha really? I think Tales of Zestiria is the last game this happened with. Amazon must hate giving me JRPGs.

Been at shipping today for awhile but I don't care like I said. But they'll more than likely have it out in time.

Received my copy a few hours ago and have been playing. So far I love how breezy the opening is! It is so enjoyable to play an RPG and hit the ground running in 15 minutes. The soundtrack is also quite lovely, reminds me of another one of my favorites ( Baten Kaitos)

Just got an email that Amazon shipped. Phew.
This makes me happy. I love Sakuraba's BK soundtracks so damn much.

Got a great weekend ahead with both Star Ocean 5 and Zero Escape 3 goodness. Like the PS2 era again for me with this.
Eh, I dunno. Star Ocean 5 is Square-Enix's stable and if SO IP revival succeeds it stands to reason for Square-Enix to go "let's revive VP" since it's Square who own that IP. Exist Archive is Spike-Chunsoft, who do not own VP. I really doubt Square would look at Exist Archive's relative success as a cult game at all. They'd just ignore it. Besides, pretty sure the Square producer said that we need to support SO5 for VP revival to happen on console.

I truly believe that Sakuraba goes all out for Star Ocean. The OSTs are always awesome.

Looking at his work, it's only a few of his Tales of OSTs that are weak. His other Tri-Ace stuff is very good too (Resonance of Fate with Kohei Tanaka & Valkyrie Profile series) and let's not forget his work on Dark Souls either.
Is there any news about Exist Archive making it over?

Not sure if it's been asked or answered yet, but is this more like Xenoblade Chronicles X or will it be closer to the upcoming Final Fantasy XV?
Same here, I have like no time to play anything new right now lol.

Mine is coming tomorrow. Hyped, granny panties and all. Between this and Grand Kingdom and the E3 sale I have plenty of good stuff to last till August/September.
uhhh....neither. Think Tales of games.
I only got to play for an hour and have an appointment soon, but I'm having a great time so far. The 60 fps is great and it looks better than I thought it would.
My only real nitpick is the cutscenes or lack thereof. It's a little jarring how most of the conversations so far are just the character models standing still and talking at each other while you can move the camera around. Other than that I think this is going to be a very solid game.

I've played maybe half an hour today, got my copy early from Amazon.ca and what a soundtrack!
Also, an RPG on console at 60FPS is much more enjoyable than I would have thought.

The music in that e3 2016 trailer was fantastic! Never played a Star Ocean before.

Hmm my local store is selling it for 39 instead of 59 for release day.
I loved Star Ocean 3 but I feel like the game can go lower in price...and it's not like I'm having a drought of games right now.

I have no idea what to think of this game because I've never touched a Star Ocean game before, but I like JRPGs. I have a friend who loves them, I'll probably end up buying it. I just want to check the reviews first before spending the $60.

Been an odd year for me and Amazon. Dark Souls III shipped on release day (a Tuesday), got to me on Thursday... Then it happened again with Uncharted 4, then again with Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator, etc...
Dark Souls III and Uncharted 4 were limited/collectors editions and I had placed the pre-orders as soon as I saw them up, which to my knowledge wasn't exactly when they went live or anything, but the point is I pre-ordered them ages ago. I was only truly disappointed by Dark Souls III -- the other two games were exciting but I didn't feel so excited that I needed to play either on day 1.
Talked to customer service just to see what was up, as this had never been an issue for me before, and they simply stated that I had not placed my pre-orders during the release day delivery guarantee period. I've also noticed that a few of my future pre-orders I have with Amazon now list a release date shipping time with a delivery time estimated for Thursday. So it looks like day 1 access to the game is not necessarily a guarantee on Amazon pre-order anymore, though I have gotten notifications via email that Persona 5 and Horizon (both collectors editions) got bumped up to release date delivery for me. No Man's Sky collector's and Final Fantasy XV deluxe still showing two day "late" delivery, though. Persona 5 is the only one out of the bunch that I wanna play right away, so I'm still happy I get discounted copies of the rest and that that one in particular got bumped up to release day delivery.
Would make perfect sense if just tossing a pre-order into the pile a few days ahead of release didn't result in release day delivery, but I find it odd that months out doesn't seem to get a ton of priority.

Pre-ordered, but it looks like Brazil will get it later (as usual). It seems they delayed because of PT-BR subtitles (a first for the series if true), so I'm okay with it.
