Ugh I'm going to eat my keyboard and writhe around

 

[PfantzyPantz]

Do you have to actually click a button for it to decrypt, or will it start on it's own when it unlocks?

 

[Gbraga]

I can play other games while I wait. I'm not a really big fan of Final Fantasy XIII. I was playing Trails in the Sky.

But it will be kind of fun to see how the graphics are.

Lightning-sama will convert you

 

[TheTux]

Do you have to actually click a button for it to decrypt, or will it start on it's own when it unlocks?

It will do it automatically when you launch the game for the first time.

 

[zbarron]

There are no meltdowns like Final Fantasy XIII meltdowns.

I love you GAF. Never change.

 

[Yoshichan]

this is stupid

THIS IS STUPID

 

[Raitningz]

You need a hug.

 

[Holykael1]

I'm ready to unleash the four dark devas of destruction! WHAT IS THIS

 

[BadWolf]

Never thought I would see meltdowns because of people wanting to play FFXIII.

*wipes tear*

 

[BasilZero]

All dis hype - too bad I won't be home for when it releases - also no monies to buy the game now ;(

 

[HolyBaikal]

SE is all like

That poor guy. :<

It's incredibly juicy.

 

[munchie64]

Christ, I need to go to bed, but not letting it download would be such a waste

 

[sueil]

Man I woke up all excited to play and then find out this news. What a bummer.

Square Enix just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Final Fantasy XIII for any system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and unlock Final Fantasy XIII for PC right now or you can kiss your business goodbye.

 

[jett]

Gaben has forgotten Lightning.

 

[-GOUKI-]

Maybe it's 12:30? 6 minutes.

 

[Xyber]

Really? The games I bought before released at either 10am PST or 12pm PST which is like 4 hours ago. In fact this is the longest I've waited for an unlock.

10AM PST is in 35 minutes...

 

[ChiefofCitadelSecurity]

I was playing Trails in the Sky.

I might just do that. Took a break from it all of sudden

Right? RIGHT?

 

[Grief.exe]

Square can unlock the game at any time, they just need to push the update through the registry.

 

[ShinobiFist]

I'm caving in GAF. I'll suffer just like you guys. Been looking at this game all morning.

Just what I needed.

 

[Javaman]

Shiiiit. I missed out on the preload? I didn't even bother to check. I clicked it at 10 after and I'm preloading now. 50gigs, yikes!

Ah... well it would help if people could get their timezones correct. I tend to wonder when people say GMT, do they mean GMT or BST (during summer time). Not to mention EST/PST being used when it should be EDT/PDT /petpeeve

Ah well, just another half hour to go then.

 

[The_Monk]

It's almost time my good GAFfers.

Always nice to see some good old hyped threads no matter the game or platforms of choice. I hope the game can be a nice visual experience without issues and I hope everyone can enjoy their time with it! 30 Minutes to go.

It's like I went back in time!

Well played

 

[Thorwaldsson]

30 Minutes, well this is a perfect time to look at the Half Life Speedrun then.

 

[Raitningz]

[ConceptX]

I thought something went badly wrong when it was still encrypted, 30 mins to go right?! RIGHT?!

I love this thread, it genuinely makes me smile.

Play tetris?
Read manga online?
Play velocity 2X on your PS Vita?
Play more SSB4 games on your 3DS to unlock more characters?

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

How dare they delay the PSteam+ Edition of Final Fantasy XIII Club. How dare they. I paid good money for this serviceproduct.

Was checking in for Hour One port impressions, got people begging for my waifu instead.

Oh well, I'll hold out until after work.

 

[lennylightspeed]

What am I even doing? I bought this game on PS3 and didn't make it past like 4 hours, but here I am preloaded and everything. Really I just hope there are good graphics options and a way to use cheat engine to just jack up the characters. I just want to see the purdy graphics and see if I can make it through the game this time.
