Oof. My wallet. May have to hold off on it for a bit.

I've been trying not to think about this game - which has been my 2nd-most-anticipated game of the year - since it had seemed so far off for so long...
I've been looking forward to it, hoping it would come here, ever since it was first announced and then released in Japan...
And, of course, it being released in Europe a month ahead of the US just made the wait seem even longer...
But, tomorrow, it will finally be here!

Going to pick this up after work tomorrow. Pre-ordered from GameStop to get it physical day 1. If I didn't have to work tomorrow I'd get it way earlier. Stupid work

So, like most third party releases, I'm assuming this hits the eShop tomorrow at ~2pm EST?

I was also able to grab the DLC. Time to start the game.
I believe this is published by Nintendo, so it probably releases at midnight.
I came home to find my US Copy waiting for me today after work.
Was quite surprised! It's the first time I've ever gotten a game before release day. I pre-order so many games (and movies) that I am actually kind of surprised it hasn't happened to me already.
I see it happened to some others as well. Mine was also from Amazon.

Gamestop and Gameinformer (I think?)

The ad in the eShop for the game says midnight ET.

Meh, I stayed up for Bravely Default, but, I'm just going to get a good night's rest for this, and spend most of tomorrow playing it.

eShop does say 12 ET! Feels so good to be on the west coast, 9pm baby!! I've been waiting for this game to come to the U.S. since 2012. I am so psyched. Don't think I'll sleep tonight, between this and Bayo 2.
😔
So I get what you can do with online play (I think). I'm actually thinking of avoiding the DLC until I do the main thing just because I might pull some other local friends in first. But I'm not sure what you all are doing on that front.
If friends on my 3DS list are playing the game, do we get to do the link thing without any further setup? I'm just thinking of how annoying it is to get Best Friends in ACNL.

If you don't get the DLC, you won't be able to play with people who did... :/ There's a bunch of us (self included) that are just saying screw it and buying it tonight.

This is legitimately the game I've most been looking forward to my entire life.
entire life.
So psyched! Are we getting NA gaffers together to coop? Is that even how the coop works?
Ahh that kind of throws a wrench in it all. Well, I'll see how it goes.
Thanks Chaos17, too. Still curious if Link Mode Just Works with 3DS friends or if additional setup is needed though.
Haha, same for me, in a way. And boy, did it turn out good.
Fort the setup :
You will need to add friend code on 3D then in game (through the menu option).
Then just push the "Link" button to start receiving notifications.
ypu can even choose who you want to be linked or not.
I just don't know if it will be blocked if people have or not DLC.
New set discovered on Miiverse (probably password) :

So, I'm thinking I'll get the Link DLC right after downloading the main game. Any provisions set up for us gaffers to swap codes/get connected?

Just put your FC in your GAF profile and add people as needed. The online component of this game isn't that big, so it'll be easier that way.

just so I am clear I can play with my buddy if we both just have the base game?

If neither of you have the DLC, yes.
Though, not to harp on the point, the DLC adds quite a lot, and has multiple aspects available during the main quest. If you do play to get it eventually anyway, I'd recommend getting it as soon as possible so you can make use of the features as soon as possible.
I used the online pre-order functionality on Nintendo's site for this game. I got an email at 12:01 with my download code. There's also a "Redeem Now" button in the email that will send the game to my 3DS. It's a pretty cool feature that saves a few minutes, but I worry that for more popular games the email will come so late as to not make it worth pre-ordering.
I'm downloading the game now - really excited!

I'm confused, don't you have to beat the game to activate the content? If that's the case how can you make use of said features?
He's talking about this. But feel free to pick the DLC when you like.
Things you get at the start:
Extra character customization
Friendship system (allows NPCs to become friends with you and fighting better)
Pet Birds and Dragons
2 new houses
Things unlocked after the main story:
A new area Origin Island with it's own story
New materials, equipment and recipes
God rank
New home and furniture
Lunares coins and the items you get from them
Level cap increased from 99 to 200
Level cap for the skills increased from 15 to 20
Stats cap increased from 50 to 100

Cool, thanks for the quick reply!
Wasn't sure if I was going to download this or get the physical copy. I kinda want to play this while on my break at work (this in itself could be a mistake though). Then again I do want the physical box. Can't decide. Maybe I'll come to a conclusion before leaving for work tomorrow morning.

Some of the new homes are available during the main quest too.
The ones in Elderwood Village and Levitania.
And you do have to get to
