He is pretty good....and I also liked Cid Aulstyne from Type-0
Well could we get a quick rundown or do we have to go to your website for this?

GT review is up. Spoilers abound I guess. A lot I haven't seen in there, along with the newer enemies in the game, which I hear isn't much. They must have really rushed, cause they say it takes about 20 hours to finish.
Still they loved it, giving it an 8.8.

The GT review was really good and had an actual funny joke in it. I'm getting more interested in the story as well. Maybe it isn't that bad. People dislike XIII's story as well, but I think they are quite wrong on that one as well. Can't wait to find out.
Does anyone know if the pre-order content for various retailers will come shipped in the box, or will it be on receipts/slips with codes/etc?
I want the CE for PS3, but as said before GameStop appears to be out. You can still buy it on their website, though, so if it's worth it I'll buy it from there.
Another question, though, does anyone know how powerful is Serah's DLC weapon is? Is it even worth it?
I'm thinking I'll preorder it at Best Buy.
By the way, the Collectors Edition guide is only $20 at Amazon, as seen here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0307894215/?tag=neogaf0e-20 I'm assuming this is a really good deal?

The bigger question---Does the soundtrack contain the altered or non altered version?
Usually preorder content is printed on receipts.
As for the PS3 CE, Amazon still has it for release date shipping: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062VM8LU/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I can check lol
Gamestop.com has that too, but it costs $12. Thing is, if I'm getting 40% off the CE guide from Amazon, that money saved would easily pay for my shipping at Gamestop.com, so it all comes down to which is the better DLC deal, Omega or Serah's DLC stuff. :/ Or, the novella from Best Buy. How big is that thing anyway?
I hate all this various retailer different DLC shit.

its not an art book from bestbuy. Its the episode i novel. Like 40 pages. It bridges XIII and XIII-2.

The thing about the DLC is you can bet they'll all be released later for a fee. I have the Episode i novella... it's probably the best thing since it's a physical item. I got Omega for free from JPSN and honestly... it's not that amazing.

If you do all the side quests while doing the story though, it should be much more than 20 hours. That's just running through the story doing absolutely nothing else.

Geez, it took me like 40-something.
Oh thanks, that doesn't sound like anything I need then. Too much XIII related story will make my head hurt. But boss battles, yes, boss battles are a good thing.

Thanks
I'm only buying the CE for the soundtrack. The package is not doing anything for me. It looks alright to me but not amazing.Yes.
Oh, so all the DLC will be released later? I was kind of worried about that because some of the preorder DLC for duodecim never made it on PSN. :\
I really wanted the Kingdom Hearts Cloud costume too. But I preordered the game from Amazon because it's just better for me to get things through there in general...

Yay XD Thanks Kagari.
They'd be stupid not too. The costumes and Omega are already up on JPSN for download. Splitting up the DLC is stupid as it is... at least Europe gets it all bundled together.

I hope those are all available on PSN day 1. Though I bet Amazon has some sort of timed exclusive for that boss. I want the costumes though, mostly for Noel.
Not really. I thought they were all fairly easy to obtain minus the casino coin one.

My feelings exactly, and I enjoyed 13. The only FF I'm hyped for is Versus, which likely won't even be out this year.
It does make the most sense for them to ultimately release all the preorder DLC later for purchase, but I hesitate to think it's a guarantee because of the Dissidia preorder DLC situation here.

YESSSSSS.
Ah, great, that's killed another reason to be hesitant about the LE.

OMG fuck spoilers being in the titles of youtube videos related to the OST track I was listening to. God dammit. AUGH
edit: I knew there was a reason I was avoiding listening to the soundtrack prior to the release of the game

Since folks here are on an anti-Toriyama crusade, you might be interested to read what some of his unused ideas for the original FFVII entailed.

There's one doozy of a concept in there. I think you'll know it when you read it.

You were not fucking kidding. Now instead of a bad writer, I have the impression that Toriyama is pretty unhinged.
