Well this is really fucking annoying - apparently I've got the dreaded Royal Mail red slip waiting for me at home. Why on earth would they do that? I don't choose the cheapest delivery for fun! So I'm pretty much guaranteed not to play this until Sat/Sun.

People really need to start listening to me more.
I'm a few hours or so into the game at the moment. Loving the battle system, but the story - probably because I'm still early into the game - isn't grabbing me at all.
Edit: Oh, and the only character I'm not a fan of is Hope. What a little fucking bitch.

I was just going to wait to get it on Goozex (Im actually #20ish in queue), but with the beta code being inside, I think I might just buy it. :|

got mine
picked up the official guide from GAME too, wow it's impressive, really well made.
Snagged White Knight Chronicles too.
FFXIII was selling like crazy in both places, in GAME everyone in the queue had either FFXIII or FFXIII w/ Official Guide. All PS3 versions i could see.

Mine should arrive around 2PM, but it sounds like UPS gets there much later for you. x:Oli said:
I need help (6 hours in):
By the way, the game is amazing. I think it could end being one of my favorite FF if it doesn't fall apart in the latter chapters. I even like Vanille.
And Lightning is awesome.
Odin is kicking my ass BADLY. Any suggestions?

Have to wait another hour before the store opens here.
So lame.
So lame.
Picked up my copy last night after work and spent two glorious hours with it. It feels like Final Fantasy the beat-em-up (in a good way). Battles are fast and fun, and there are minimal loading times. It's kind of like Uncharted or God of War, in the way that the experience is pretty seamless. Loving all the characters (except Snow... he needs to zip it for a second.)
All the crappy reviews fall away as you are playing it. And some of these reviews be exaggerating. Sure, it's linear, but it still rewards exploration with well placed (non randomly generated, FFXII...) chests. And, small battle system spoiler,
I could go on and on about how great and understated the music is and how gorgeous the menus are (love Vanille's headshot), but I won't. Suffice to say, I am impressed and I cannot wait to spend some more face time with it tonight... post-work exhaustion be damned!

I got the paradigm and leveling up system 2 hours in. Reviews made it sound like you don't get it until the 10th hour of the game.

Order fing delayed due to "Adverse Weather Conditions" in Cedar Rapids. What the hell does that mean? It's raining outside.
Barely.
So they shipped it back to Des Moines, over two hours away, versus 20 minutes away.
WHAT THE HELL.

I've had a consider and I'm going to see if I can pick it up from HMV after work and return the one from GAME and in future see if I can get things sent straight to work. Doh!

That this game was going to massive sales, way beyond the typical expectation of a JRPG in the United States.
I'm also about 2 hours in, and the game feels like FFX with a better battle system. So far, any thing reviews have said to try and sway me where lost in the first hour of gameplay. I was worried hearing that you only control the party leader and that your health regens after every fight, but in the end, all of that stuff works really well. I can only imagine how crazy the battle system is going to get late in the game.
The graphics on this game are nothing short of jaw dropping, and I'm glad Square still has the balls to do CG cut scenes.
I'm really loving the game. The linear aspect doesn't bother me, and the shops are integrated in a unique fashion.
Don't listen to the hate, this game is awesome.

Loving this so far! Fuck the reviews!
Even characters and story seem to be much better than expected!
Oh FF, how I have missed you!
And yeah, image quality of the PS3 version is amazing. Very cinematic game.

Looks like my soundtrack is finally coming at least it says "Order in Progress".
I hope the game supports multiple save files, one of my roommates wants to playthrough and I definitely dont want to share saves.

I haven't gotten past the demo portion from last year yet, with Snow and Team NORA. In the first thirty minutes, all you can really say is "damn this game is pretty" and "holy shit this battle system's trippy". I can't wait to get home and play more, just have to get through..three lectures. =/

I'm pretty sure the NA version does this too.
Spiegel said:
If you really really struggle, use a Power Smoke (or whatever it is called in the NA version, the pre fight buff item).
As for the fight, try to see through his pattern, he has some really violent phases and some cool down phases where barely does anything.
Use Med/Rav (in my case he locked on Hope so I had to heal him most of the time). Once he cooles down switch to double Rav. If you need instant healing, try to use potions.
