[jrush64]

I think this game might come out today. I know I'm being optimistic.

 

[Bowl0l]

It is. We are just guessing that it might be a "Available now" thing at Sony's PSX keynote in around 4 or so hours.

i still think it's just delayed until spring.

Spoiler

PROVE ME WRONG SONY! (...please...)

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I'm so hype for PSX I actually didn't sleep well at all. Kept waking up every hour from 8 onwards. Soooo I feel like shit now. But whatever, BRING ON YAKUZA 5, SONY.

 

[TheShampion]

I pre-ordered it just so I can lock in the price.

I'm not even done with Yakuza 4.

I'm not sure what I am really doing.

 

[Hasney]

Only a few more hours until it starts downloading for us. Maybe... Hopefully.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Ok..

Had a problem with my credit card yesterday so i have to wait for my new one...

If the game is released today i'll...ARRRRRGH

 

[Lightning Count]

These bumps are like a damn rollercoaster, getting my hopes up every time.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I'm not sure what I am really doing.

I was replaying the series hoping to get done before December, but I made it to the halfway point of 1 when I saw the remake. And I haven't started 2 or 4 yet in the replays. Isshin isn't even close to being done.

This is hell. Kill me.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I really, really hope to be proven wrong, but their PR email implies that review codes would go out before release. I don't think it'll come out today, but I do think we'll get a date.

 

[Hasney]

Run out to stores and buy a PSN card! For greatness!

Hasn't it already gone out? Edge has it

 

[Dragon1893]

Just to make sure, the game isn't up for pre-order in EU right? Discount will be during the first week?

 

[Peff]

Right

Discount will be during the first week?

Probably? That's the idea at the very least. We'll see later today.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Really? Let's get it, then.

 

[Khort]

When is the OT? (kidding)
Binge watching recap of yakuza 1,2,3 on previous a game disc. Does yakuza 5 have story recap of 4 or should I watch all cutscenes that I unlocked in my last walk-through?

I think it does have the recaps.

Let's hope people. For Yakuza 5 release and Yakuza 0 announcement.

I did a lot of groundwork last night. I should be able to have an OT up within an hour after an announcement, tops.

I pretty much slept the worst I ever have

'Cept I can't exactly attribute it to PSX because I've been sleeping weird the past couple days.

Nah I blame Yakuza bring on Number 5!

OK, thanks.

 

[epmode]

I already bought Yakuza 5, GAF, but...

..but I haven't finished 4 yet. Wasn't interested in one of the characters I had to play and put it aside.

I should probably fix that.

They all come around eventually, imho, till I genuinely felt a twinge of guilt when I got to play as Kiryu again.

 

[jorgeton]

Wait... So is this coming out today or what?


Hold me GAF...

Background

Final Fantasy VII is the seventh installment in the Final Fantasy series, released in 1997 by Square Co., Ltd., and continues to be one of the most popular games in the series. It was directed by

Yoshinori Kitase, written by Kitase and Kazushige Nojima, and produced by Hironobu Sakaguchi. It was the first game of the Final Fantasy series to be developed for the PlayStation rather than a Nintendo

system, and the first game in the series to be ported to Windows. Final Fantasy VII was the first Final Fantasy title with entirely 3D (polygonal) character models, although the majority of environments

were two-dimensional pre-rendered maps (except the world map and battle screens, which were rendered in full 3D).

Story

An energy manufacturing mega-company known as Shinra, Inc. is harvesting the sheer life energy of the Planet (known as the Lifestream) as a simple fossil fuel. The Lifestream is processed and made

into products ranging from electricity and heat to Mako and Materia. The latter two materials can work miracles, granting the wisdom of the Ancients to the user. However, the Lifestream, like most other

fuels, is finite in supply, and the Planet's lifeforce is being malevolently drained by the constant exploitation of Mako by Shinra. Though aware of the harmful effects, they function without remorse.

However, the real battle lies not with a corporation, but a force much more competent from the distant past. A long-thought dead warrior bent on becoming a god by draining all of the Lifestream from the

Planet has risen again and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

Now a small rebel group emanating from the slums must quell the various dangers toward the innocent, and one mercenary for hire must look amidst the lies and deception and find the man he is within.

Which one? I bet it was Tanimura

 

[Khort]

I was joking, not pressure! It is just a weird thing to not know when the release date is but OT are up 2 days before (usually).
Anyway, can't wait to see it!

Yakuza 5 doesn't have any recaps

I hope so. I hope they announce 0 too!
Also yoshi chan what

I don't even think I got to him. I'm talking about the big prison guy. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood at the time.

Kind of crazy after all this time, but oh well. Guess it's their way of saying 'go buy 4'.

Good work

Noo not Saejima I feared he might be the one. Once you get out of prison he is really cool and enjoyable to play as, albeit very different.

 

[Zach]

This threeeaaad!!

(I really hope there's a release date announced today.)

I dunno, I wasn't feeling the strong, silent thing at the time. And I may be allergic to grapple/throw characters.

I'll try again, I swear!

 

[Zach]

And that the release date is today.

Are you joshing me, Has?

 

[Hasney]

Are you joshing me, Has?

Not saying it's happened, just what I want to happen.

It's done, was supposed to be this year and people have review copies. Everything is in place ready for it to happen.

I'm on board the positivity train.

It was probably too much of a pain in the ass at that point. Yakuza 4's recaps were already like an hour long and Tanimura's actor didn't return for 5 so I don't blame them for cutting them out.

I'll have to have one huge synopsis area, heh.

 

[E_Darkness]

If it doesn't get released tonight, I'll be sad.

They uploaded the summaries on their YouTube channel to save disc space. Kind of doubt Sega/Sony will do that for the NA release.

Finally pre-ordered on PSN this morning. Don't let me down Sony.

I really wish this had released last month when I didn't have anything to play. Picking between XCX and this will be rough.

From what I know of XCX, you might want to go through Yakuza first. XCX seems to me more of an exploration based titles instead of a story based one. So no urgency, you can play XCX for the next few months =)
