Got an email from play-asia asking me to confirm that I still want it, since it's JP text only.

They asked me too. Depending on when they finally take note of the answer and ship, I may get it Monday or Tuesday.

Jeez, some of these day 1 players already look better than I will ever be.
Damn that worked out way cheaper to buy off P-A for me, thanks for the mention of the HK store, got 3 $200 HKD cards and I think the game is $416 or something like that, so I guess enough for all the dlc I want and more. And play asia were super fast, ordered the 3 cards, went to the toilet and came back and it was done.

Anyone here a casual player? Or are you all pretty hardcore into fighting games? I don't even bother learning the moves for the most part... >_<
Anyway, I actually played this in arcades when I was in Japan and made it through arcade mode with a few different characters. Amane's definitely my new favorite :3

Everybody ever is better than I will ever be, especially after watching some of it on the Runback last night. But I'm more or less content with that which is why I don't mind waiting on the US version.
Same deal here. They shipped it so I'm hoping I have it Monday.
Delivered. Now to sit here waiting to play it until after work. T_T
Did you order the Asian version? I guess that's why they're notifying people. The original CT had English text, but every import version I played after that was Japanese-only.

Man I forgot how bad I was at this game.... going to have to try and improve this time or that's $90 aus down the drain lol... I've always sucked @ these long combo games, pretty much my "max" is wolverine's braindead basic bnb from vanilla mvc3 and when they added swiss cheese in umvc3... lol. Though I guess I could do Nu's basic bnb back in CT as well.
anyway liking the new lobby system.

Tip for quickly unlocking Kagura (view true ending in story mode - 100% clear):
Enable "skip unread text"
Auto-skip text
Every time you're given a choice between two options, choose the first option.
Edit: Only the first option needs to be chosen. No back-tracking necessary.

I think mos of the people who'll import the game are hardcore players who can't risk waiting 5(?) months for the US release of the game. They can perform insane combos and have prediction skills that border on telepathy.
Everyone here can react to <8f overheads ONLINE!!
Edit: Yay, someone put the Ragna vs. Hakumen VS theme on Youtube!

Yeah, my brain/reflexes will never be fast enough to rise much past scrub-tier button masher.
When did you pre-order, how did you pay, and did you order the Japanese or Asian version?
Paypal. It's more that I've just been really frustrated today with my laptop(have had to reformat it twice now) and then me finding out that even after I sent them the confirmation email yesterday(I got the Asian version) they're still sitting on the order just added to my frustration. I'll probably buy from again, it just sucks I have to wait until possibly Wednesday to play this.
Damn, I'll probably have to pay the same.... It'll come to over 100 bucks then.... How much is the digital version if buying jpn cards off play-asia?
It's about 98 canadian dollars for two 1000 Yen Cards and one 5000 Yen Card.
Thanks. My order is still on hold so I'm gonna email them again to cancel it. I'll just get the digital version instead.
If you have paypal, you can always get a GAFfer to help get you cards. I have a friend that helps me get mine without the mark ups.
Kagura is the story mode unlock. Terumi is just a preorder bonus DLC that can also be bought on PSN.
Kokonoe's DLC only, releasing on the 7th.
Edit: For Fluxwave and any aspiring Terumi mains. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD6KDdF099g
Yup, I have paypal. Who would be able to hook me up?

That's if they don't mind doing it still. But yeah, I'd contact them.
Ah, OK. I wouldn't expect to get Asian versions at release unless they specifically list that as the stock date. Most of the time Asian releases just the month of release. That's usually why I pay that extra cash for the Japanese versions, plus it makes it easier to sell stuff off when I'm over there.
I just noticed I didn't do the optional install, but all the menus and loading seemed fast enough without it.
Having a bit more difficulty picking up Azrael than I expected. His links are a bit more tighter than I thought (partially due to the decreased hitstun, though I still had way less trouble with Hakumen's links which feel like chains at this point), and I keep messing up his TCL because I always think of quarter circle motions for rekkas. I'm just now getting the hang of his 5B,2C stuff, which does ridiculous damage and adds weakpoints. I predict I'll do a lot worse with him online than I do with Slayer because he doesn't have quite as good normals to poke with.
Bang's j4C being changed to jC helps me so much for his airdash combos, but I can't get his new relaunch combo to connect yet. (EDIT: Nvm I got it. Just had to delay the j2C)
Probably gonna buy Kagura with the spare PSN money I still have since I don't want to touch the story yet.

Neat, thanks. Wasn't expecting Terumi to be on the low end when it comes to his amount of health and he seems like a rather complex character, but I can't wait to play him.

Yep, save that $5!

I received the game early today and have been playing for a while. Everything feels a lot more smooth, likely due to the lessened hitstop and Noel's changes.
If anyone wants to play just send me a friend request on PSN (quote for psn name).

Been playing around in Abyss Mode a bit. It's a bit different this time.
The stat boost upgrades you get stay with your character. So if you get attack +10, you don't have to ever buy those stats in the shop again and can choose to stay at attack+10 or lower. But if you change characters, that new character won't get the same upgrades.
For the other special upgrades (like armor grinder, auras, etc), after you get them in abyss mode, you have to buy them from the shop if you want to use them again later, but you only have to buy them once, and they apply for all characters.
Auras also give huge stat boosts. Red aura gives +50 attack, and silver gives +50 defense.

It's released the same day. Iwakura's order shipped earlier today actually. PA just decided to fuck with me today.

^nice, thanks
So I ordered this yesterday and the status at play-asia still says "Preparing order".. is this normal?
it also says "The order is not paid yet. If you made the payment already please confirm the payment." wtf? i got a confirmation email and already saw the charge on my credit card.

You have now entered my world of frustrating as hell P-A service.
Preparing order means that they haven't packaged anything and are awaiting payment. I'm gonna guess it's because it's Saturday over there now, so I wouldn't expect a status update until Monday. I had the exact same problem with the whole "the order is not paid yet" even though I paid for it. You can either wait it out until Monday or email them(But I don't think they'll answer until Monday anyway, so you're sorta stuck)

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Am so tempted to get this since they finally included Kokonoe. But dat monthly budget is saying otherwise... D:
Same here. Since I have slow ass internet, hopefully I can get it sometime before 2am est so I can background download it on my PS3 while I'm asleep and be able to play it as soon as I wake up tomorrow.
