Yahoo! My copy was finally delivered! AND I have tomorrow off!

 

[Raven77]

Did I make a mistake in ordering the limited edition version of this game, I think it was $90 bucks. Is it worth the extra money you think?

 

[Fandangox]

Pretty sure the game will use whatever complete datapack you have and that you can download the others while playing.

I think they mean they don't want to wait for the game to install all the data packs during their first time booting the game.

 

[LProtag]

I'm so jealous of all these people getting the game early.

Meanwhile Best Buy has been preparing to ship my game for 3 days now.

I seriously considered it, but I think I'm going with the digital version because coupled with the promotion for owning the first game it's a lot cheaper. Effectively half the price. I really want a physical copy though...

They have shipped games the day before the release date before and still got them to my doorstep on release day. I wouldn't fret much about it.

Ah, I'm new to ordering from Best Buy. They shipped Fallout 4 4 days in advance for it to get to me, so I was assuming it was the same process.

I assume thats a UK deal? Nice! Good promotion.

I went digital, didn't want to have to fuss with going to a store after work. I'll wake up early Friday morning before work to play for an hour, then think about the game alllll day. :-(

European deal. It's 9 and a quarter USD off if you own the first game.

So not half off like I made it sound, but half the price of buying the special edition.

 

[wanders]

Idk why you guys bother ordering from amazon

I live in a town that doesn't have any game retailer, lol
I would need to get a car and drive for 10+ minute to go to the mall and hope to find the game.

 

[PetrCobra]

This progress bar on my amazon order page is not helping my patience...

The progress on MY Amazon order page helps mine...

Don't complain.

Uh oh. I guess my "all digital" policy does have its perks at times... unless the servers will be so overloaded at launch that I'll be downloading the game for days, lol. Curse you NoE and your lack of preload.

 

[Etria]

because i want to start the game as soon as possible when I get home ;P

Your preference! I fully endorse jumping right in when you get home.

I'll just be waiting for my preorder to ship on release day. Anyone else had their Amazon France order ship yet?

 

[Jolkien]

Idk why you guys bother ordering from amazon

Because when you pre-order during E3 you get all your upcoming games for 30% off ? And you are not billed until the game ships so if you change your mind you can cancel at any time ?

 

[Kandinsky]

Man this game, too awesome!

Scary though as a low level guy out there in the fields with pretty much everything being high level .

Jesus that looks incredible, cannot wait any longer, send help.

 

[desu]

Just finished chapter 3 and everything just clicked for me, already fucking love the game!

Best advice I can give, make sure to constantly check your equipment, level up your arts/classes and don't forget your party members xD. I didn't because the game throws thousands of things at you (without explaining everything) and so the start was a little slow for me.

 

[midasmulligan]

Is it worth picking up a used wii u to experience this game? It looks absolutely brilliant...

 

[The Elite]

Did I make a mistake in ordering the limited edition version of this game, I think it was $90 bucks. Is it worth the extra money you think?

I am sure it is but I opted for a regular digital version and the hardcover strategy guide instead.

 

[Ooccoo]

Where's the OT?
edit: forgot it releases Friday lol been playing for weeks :/

 

[Numb]

Knowing people at the place you bought the game doesn't mean they'll just give it.
Game there already for a while too lol

 

[Pokemaniac]

because i want to start the game as soon as possible when I get home ;P

If you download the packs right now and put your Wii U into standby mode, you can install them ahead of time.

 

[Ulysses 31]

I'd watch these videos to make an informed decision(at least the first 2):

Xenoblade Chronicles X Survival Guide: Your New Home
Xenoblade Chronicles X Survival Guide: Planetary Defense 101
Xenoblade Chronicles X Survival Guide: Large Skell Combat
Xenoblade Chronicles X Survival Guide: Mining Your Own Business

[QUOTE]Arriving Fri, Dec 4
Pre-ordered[/QUOTE]

Not shipped yet, but still says Friday delivery, I guess they could ship it tomorrow and still get it to me by Friday.

 

[Etria]

Yes, it is, especially if you are an RPG fan.

Edit: Then stay for all of the other great exclusives, like Smash, Splatoon, Pikmin 3, Captain Toad, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, etc.

 

[desu]

Don't know where you are located, but at least here a new WiiU is freaking expensive and there are hardly deals on Nintendo hardware/software. So I also got a used WiiU for this game and Fast Racing Neo and I saved tons of money and got some of the best titles of the console with it for quite a few euros under the normal retail price of the console plus a game.

that means.....I'm ahead of the the rest of yall!!!

 

[saveweyard]

Where's the OT?

Gaf policy is the thread doesn't go up until 24 hours before release. So it'll be up sometime tomorrow.

Edit: Oh you edited. Never mind!

 

[SgtWiggles]

Still sitting on Monday delivery with my Special Edition.....seriously considering just cancelling and going digital or buying at Best Buy with GCU instead. Gonna give it till later tonight/tomorrow afternoon to see if it changes. Makes no sense it would take 3-4 days for it to arrive after release, especially when you live in one of the Amazon Now/Same Day delivery areas.

 

[Chaos17]

If this allow you to save money and buy more games, I don't see the problem

 

[desu]

Does this mean the US release? Because by this the thread should be long up as its out in Europe in one hour.

 

[Etria]

What?! It is? :O I thought it was December 4th for Europe/December 5 for NZ/AUS.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Picking up my special edition at the end of the day today

 

[TheBlackMarvel]

What?! It is? :O I thought it was December 4th for Europe/December 5 for NZ/AUS.

It's not out until Friday in the UK lol.

 

[desu]

What?! It is? :O I thought it was December 4th for Europe/December 5 for NZ/AUS.

Yep exactly (Wikipedia):
NA December 4, 2015
EU December 4, 2015
AUS December 5, 2015

So yeah, no clue why the OP is not up yet for a long time already.

 

[paolo11]

My dream game is finally coming out. Hehehehe

It's gonna be next week though......

 

[kadotsu]

I just want to say that I feared the worst when dual audio was deconfirmed. After the first few hours I can say that this is a NIER quality localization, with as good as possible voice direction. I would pick it over the original cast if I had the choice for the setting.

 

[Litri]

2 days, lord help me.

That's still another two days of waiting.

I'm not conviced for all the characters but Lin dub was a good surpise to me.
Still I would be happy with a audio option even as dlc.

Do't complain, this is for someone living outside US:

What a coincidence that it's the same localization company as Nier.

 

[Riki]

From what I've heard so far I enjoy all the voices.
But Lin especially sounds really good.

 

[Ooccoo]

You'll get tired once you hear GET READY AND START POUNDING for the millionth time

 

[Etria]

Your image isn't showing up (appears broken). I feel for you. My actual arrival time was exactly that before I reordered and got it shifted a week earlier, but still December 11-19th for me.

 

[Jolkien]

It's the new Reyn time ?

 

[R.D.Blax]

Man this game, too awesome!

Just wait until you had to pass through a cave full of high level monster to accomplish some stupid quest...

 

[Fandangox]

That's exactly what I thought when I read that.

That's definitely going to get some mileage.

 

[harriet the spy]

Is there any chance XC will be released on the US shop? Or should we give up? (Can a wii disc game be played on the pad?)

 

[Rodolink]

Yeah that sucks, but well at least I didn't have to pay a lot more from a local retailer
