In fairness they have been quite bad recently. They sent my Link Between Worlds with my PS4 so I got it a week late.
That's... not what those posts were complaining about
Don't most retailers do that anyway? Unless you make separate orders or specify that you want the shipments separated.

I was just getting in on the general bitching about ShopTo. Hopefully they've just been overwhelmed by the Xbox One and PS4 releases within a week of each other and it'll be back to normal soon.
I'm sure a lot of places routinely combine orders, but not for items that are released a week apart.
Yea I'm curious if he ordered them together (same order), if not then its pretty shitty.
Ah, thanks. Wait, the taxes are not already added in the BD CE on amazon.com?
I can't wrap my (tired) head around that. Because different states have different taxes or what? (I don't know that much about the US tbh)
That's right; some states also don't charge tax for online purchases, so there might not be any tax.
In general though, retail prices in the US (and Canada) never include tax. It's always added on top of the marked or listed price.
Thanks for clarifying!
Streetpass or Spotpass, yeah. So you get villagers through wifi without actually Streetpassing people anyway.

Shiny get! Cant really tell with pic though, but its the nice foil cover one. Err parts are foil not all to clarify.
Looking forward to going through this again. 3DS is currently charging up.

Weird, it was the other way round for me earlier; email wouldn't work, username did.
I think the time is glitched. Mine keeps reverting to 67 hours, despite my playtime being around 103, and me getting the 100 hour playtime achievement. Check the achievement page, or the completion percentage, since they should be right.
Whether you want to use the data is up to you though, really. You can use it to unlock all of the jobs right from the beginning, if you want to. I'll be doing that, as well as transferring all of the special clothes items so I can use them from the start too.
Oh, I forgot that you can choose what to import... huh, yeah. Well I guess I'll try to upload it again from my original game and see what happens.

And Amazon.jp sent me a mail that I can barely understand with the help of google translate. Apparently they just sent my artbook <3 Should be here by next week

You can't get the download version directly from the eShop.
In order to get the download version (2,900 yen) you need to download a new "Ver1.1" patch for the original game from the eShop. That'll add an eShop icon to the title screen of the game, which when pressed will take you to the purchase page.
You can't get the download version without the original, in other words.
It looks like my new 3DS XL, game and artbook won't ship until friday, so I'm really tempted to get the download version and keep my physical copy wrapped... =x

The challenge on normal is pretty good. Every time I get into a new area I have to adapt to the new enemies and use different tactics.
I got the first crystal yesterday (Spoilers obviously)
Awesome, awesome game

and the two-headed boss was great, very cool design. Killed me 3 times before I went back to get better equipment and then I finally stood a chance against him with a monk, knight, black mage and white mage. Put fire attributes on all my characters' specials and wrecked the blue head, the red one was a cakewalk then.
Awesome, awesome game
Apparently the Dark Knight job was nerfed and it's not the overpowered obvious choice anymore: http://ds-can.com/bravely-default-fts/game/jobhenkou.html
Can anyone translate the exact changes?

It's amazing how people were disappointed we weren't getting it, even more flattering pictures didn't look all that great. I guess some really did want those statues and figurines with their games, while others were just envious Europe got something NA didn't even though we really should be thankful it's not there to ratchet up the game's price.

I'll do some more later, but I'm tired at the moment. Dark Knight doesn't look nerfed to me. Berserk is now set to a max of 5 times, but Berserk is only good for bosses anyway, since it's a single hit move (albeit one that continues until you run down to 1 HP).
I gave in and bought the download version from the eShop. ><

My CE is out for delivery today - look out in the OT for some photos soon.
I'm so disappointed from what I've seen of the figure in photos, and I doubt seeing it up close and personal will do much to improve my feelings for it. Let's not beat around the bush here - it's total garbage, and whoever signed off on it for inclusion in this edition should be downright ashamed of themselves. Once the photos are taken, it's going straight back in the box.

A quick question. If we update the original version to For the Sequel, can we still play the old one?
Finally got to try the demo yesterday evening and, well... I suuuuuck so bad, it's a bit embarassing. Had to go back to the inn every 2 fights or so... and I was playing on Easy, so yeah
By the way, the "easy" area to train is the cave west of the city, right? But when I arrived there, I got ambushed by a bunch of 6 ennemies at once, poor Angès didn't make it out of there

Found a somewhat hi-res image of the North American CE. Pretty sure it's higher than any we've seen thus far:
God I love the art of this franchise.
