Mine just left Anaheim according to the tracking number. WTF?

Yeah same here. The wait for this game is leading to a point where I am forgetting about it.

Mine apparently didn't even leave Anaheim yet.
Mine still just says "Electronic Shipping Info Received". At this rate I don't think I'll even get the game until next week. Sigh.
USPS really sucks at updating the tracking info. So you might get it this week still.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Stores might be difficult, but NISA regularly stocks their games for at least a few months. The LE is Out of Stock at the moment though.
I hope so. Now that I think about it, most of the games I've ordered from NISA have arrived on Friday or Saturday. Hope that's the case here.
Psst, do you know where to get Azure Wings?
I know Astrid sells one, but I need two! ;_;
P.S.: You should follow me on Twitters so I don't have to ask you here. XD

Holy shit, Meruru's almost out of stock on US Amazon too. I don't think Totori moved nearly this quick, did it?
No, I don't think it did. I don't remember Totori being sold out on Amazon at all after it was released.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Yesterday when I mentioned beating the Dragon Boss at the ruins unlocks two locations, one that has the World Spirits? The other has the Azure Wings (GUST is evil like that).
And PM me your Twitter name so I can find you. ^^;
Eeeeh? But I beat it and the other place didn't have Azure Wings... Maybe I have to develop the town first?
You should just guess what my Twitter name is! I bet you can't figure out what it is! I followed you some time back though, shouldn't you have gotten a notification or something?

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Huh, you're right. I was thinking or something else. Maybe it was the
Endless Corridor? Astrid tells you about it sometime in the 4th year and it unlocks. There's LOTS of stuff there.
EDIT: Following you now. Must not have gotten the notification.

Got mine today (I'm in Virginia and it actually came yesterday, but it got sent to my home address instead of my school address -- doh!) and I've put about 2 hours into it.
I haven't read through the whole thread, but I thought I could remember Totori's framerate being a bit smoother. I might be wrong, though.

I got my limited edition! Kind of disappointed that it is such a small box, I would prefer something the size of Rorona limited eidtion.
A warning to other that want to save their limited edition, once you pull out the T-shirt inside, it is almost impossible to get it back into the box with the CD and soundtrack. I almost break my box trying to fit everything back in it.
Now I just have to beat Rorona =/

Haha, I'm just leaving my shirt in the box. I'm a size small, so there's no reason for me to even bother.

Totori is smoother. GUST tried to do more with foliage and lighting this time. Stupidly, they put the worst framerate area at the very beginning. >>;
I saw both Rorona and Totori in my gamestop for months after release, but that could have just been my area. The plus side being that most Gamestops will ship in a copy of a game to their store from another store if you ask nicely, so if you can't find it anywhere else gamestop should be able to get a copy. Totori standard is still in stock on Nis though so if you have to wait a bit it shouldn't be a big issue.
It's odd to me that you added the at the moment bit, aside from maybe a very small restock from preorders that failed to get paid for there shouldn't ever be a restock of the LE. Unlike other companies Nis actually knows what LE actually stands for.
RurouniZel
Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I'm sure you're right, I just don't like to assume. ^^;
Fair enough
But unless it's Disgaea related the limited editions nis puts out tend to be rather limited, especially since they started making them nis store exclusive. Honestly I wish more companies did limited editions properly where for the most part unless you preorder them you won't get them unless you buy second hand. It adds to benefits, the first one is that if the lowest price it was ever available at was retail price, then odds are high that the LE will keep it's value or go up. And the week after the game comes out when your friend comes over and says that's a cool LE and they want to go buy it but can't, you know you have something special, which is always a plus.
Anyways more on topic, Meruru is fun so far.... though I think I am driving my cats nuts by going MERURURURURURURURURU RU RU RU RURURURURURU at them lol. I don't know why but I find the name meruru really fun to say and add more RUs. I think it's because the repeating two letters are at the end instead of the beginning this time unlike the Ro in Rorona and the To in Totori. I will say though.... (just in case someone doesn't know what your starting goal is)
I would be afraid of what my princess was doing if my town was at a nice happy population of 100 people for the longest time and all of the sudden she starts getting involved and my population gets over 5k in 3 years... let alone the 5 months it took me to get over 5k lol

I'm always surprised by how quickly these things get delivered to the UK. And now to shelve it until
(Artbook's in the back of the game case).

Finally got my copy!
Now I've just got to get out of the small funk I've been in lately and wrap up Totori.

I've been playing for a bit tonight and I do have to say that seeing an area get developed is extremely gratifying.

Totally! It's like someone said earlier how she now looks the age she's always acted.

:-(. I had a hard time with them over Xenoblade. And with GAME on its way out, who's left?

Amazon.co.uk is usually a pretty good alternative ever since they started with free shipping.

Awesome! Have fun!
Thanks, I am! Noticed that Meruru doesn't do random shouts while jumping in English. Boo.
Also, holy crap you can put Terminus as the BGM during battles. The dlc pack is awesome. Think I'll start using it after my first playthrough. Wanna listen too all the music the way it was meant to be first.

Seems far fetched, but if I get the BGM pack, can I set it so it randomizes which BGM it plays in battle and such?

Bah, I keep getting locked into one other ending. I guess another playthrough is in order. Oh darn, it's not like I LIKE playing this game or anything! XD jk jk I love this game, looking forward to my 3rd time through.

XD jk jk I love this game, looking forward to my 3rd time through.You will get a lot more out of the characters/events if you play it in order. I would recommend at least trying because there are so many references to past events with characters. But if you find yourself unable to get through Rorona, then move on to Totori. If you don't like Totori, then you probably won't like Meruru either.
Rorona is a great game, but Totori was such a huge gameplay improvement that it might be hard to go back to play Rorona after.
Bah, I keep getting locked into one other ending. I guess another playthrough is in order.
Which ending?! I might be able to help! I've gotten three endings already.

Ah, I meant I have three. I got the standard dunce ending for not getting to 100K the first time, then I got a Rorona ending where
she's forever 14. Can't physically get to Alchemy Lv. 50 from where I've saved though, I would only have 5 months to get the last 4 levels and the exp for them is so high it's bloody impossible! >>;
She's all strong and stuff, but lost to Gio because he's stupidly strong and I've read he can be beaten but fucking hell if that's true I've totally got shit armor or whatever.
I see you and I think alike about our party member preferences. Excellent! XD
Yeah I lost to Gio too. I wonder how it's possible to beat him if he takes me out that quickly. I even had the Medical Thread trait that gives you a huge defense buff! Maybe I need to explore Infinite Corridor and Ent more for better materials or something.
RurouniZel
Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
That's what I'm thinking, there's likely some specific trait that greatly/completely nullifies a lot of his attacks. Like when I fought Sterk my armor was strong against whatever his element is so his specials did far less damage than his regular attacks funnily enough. XD I'm sure there's got to be something similar for the Gio fight.
RurouniZel

That's good progress me thinks. Game has a total of 5 years like Totori, but you need 30,000 before the end of Year 3.
