And... preloading 
Oh shit, now, do I wanna play without Troy Baker? I really love Lebreau's japanese voice though.
I know that feel too well. Fortunately I got fiber a couple of months back, and it's actually cheaper than my previous connection.

I see what you did there.
Yep guys, I can confirm my game size is only 30GB. Anyone who's not in Asia is getting 19GB of something, most likely audio and JP cutscenes
i'm hoping someone will find a way to modify Asian version to include whatever others get. if it's 19GB, I guess they really include both Voice tracks
or maybe Square will release DLC for free in Asia

I won't be playing until the weekend, that's for sure D=
Once you finish downloading tell us what options you have there, and someone tell us what options we have here (options graphic-wise, language-wise, etc.)

Let the pre-load begin!
Btw, guys, dont give me hopes for dual audio dammit. Team 60gbs here.

Only 19GB for cutscenes means we're not getting PS3 quality cutscenes though >_<
Or it could just mean that they are using a modern video codec on a modern pc.
Of course not, my game is 9 GB smaller than the PS3 version lol
Well that could be possible too.
-forget I said anything, not like it matters with the file size-
How big it is the install size in Asia? Because 30GB is the download size, isn't it?
We're still scared this might be a 30fps game and/or not support custom resolutions, I don't think we should expect that at all.
Yes, I haven't downloaded it. Can I tell you guys in 6 hours? It's 0315...

Given that H.264 is part of the spec for Blurays and the PS3 can play them, I'd have to wonder what they heck they were doing if the game wasn't using H.264 for the movies in the PS3 version.
Edit: Though the audio could have been uncompressed for the PS3 version for all I know if they had space to spare on the disc. If so, they'd be stupid to not compress it for an online distributed version. Such a difference would account for some sizing discrepancy.
other than H.265, no other codec is more efficient than H.264
and PS3 version using H.264
hopefully they re-encode using lower bitrate H.264 but not as bad as X360 Bink videos

Hell yes.
Can't believe I'm excited to play this game again.
PC releases are weird.

If i start downloading the preload can i resume tomorrow when its released or would i need to start the download again?
Well not in terms of cd keys. You'll have keys for the asian version and keys for the english version. It's the retailers job to give the right version to the right costumers.
You can pause and resume whenever you want

E-mail them about it? They might be able to give you an ETA.

BTW the store page says "Audio: English"
I guess no dual audio....

Relaxed? Read up a little bit...
I'm in Asia and my game download file is only 30 GB, 19GB short of what everyone else is getting.
I think you guys stand a very, very good chance with dual audio.
how will GMG know which version I get?
they didn't ask for address, and I didn't pay using CC (I'm using PayPal). and I'm using different email for GMG and Steam :|
sorry, this is my first purchase outside Steam store

Just started preloading. Two and a half hours for it to download.
Damn this game is a big download. Hopefully we get some decent setting changes!

Haha, at this point I would only check it out if I got a free copy. SE got plenty of my money back in 2009.
Huh. I actually prefer the DS3, lol. Don't you think the trigger buttons are a bit odd to press?
Unless I'm completely misremembering, they used some really dumb settings on the PS3 version, basically bruteforcing the quality because they had the space to spare. If they are smarter about it this time around, they could very well reduce the size while keeping the quality indistinguishable from the PS3 version.
We can hope at least.
I'm always optimistic until reality sets in.
GMG usually do it through IP address. It sometimes says on your order details what version, but not always.

It's strange, I see this on the store page:
I don't think that was there before, so just wondering...otherwise I'm not too worried, because it's one of the things that will probably will get a mod.

dont worry, you can be on my good side for giving 13 money instead of 14
