I... I have it. It's... in my hands... finally.

I... don't know what else to say, so I'll just let this Florence gif summarize 10 years of emotion and anticipation unleashed at once.

Awsome, heard it was on the guide but i dont have it, thanks!
I already was at 99 chests and 1.5 million when i gave up so i already have the *best* one i assume?

Is anything on the list worth another shot?

Edit:
I did the 10gil one, i assume 10.000 is later...

wouldn't be a final fantasy game if some random machine could spit out OP equipment as a matter of rote

"hey guys i need to save the world and stuff can't we just skip the minigame"

BEEP BEEP NO

So I've got my patch installing - my Pro is warming up. All I need is some advice, GAF; Japanese or English voices? What are people's respective experiences so far?

finally. I played for a couple of hours, so far I'm enjoying it.

I found this random mine sidequest at the beginning but I wasn't expecting it to be a level 50 one, uh. I mean, it's at the beginning and all. enemies insides were at level 7 so I thought it was gonna be fine, then I found this level 52 guy on a bridge - rip.

Im about to start screaming. All my tracking from UPS says is "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" I paid extra for it to be delivered TODAY. 10 years down the drain........

Are you fucking kidding me, Amazon? I even paid for one day shipping ffs. The first time I go physical this entire generation, and this shit happens. This is the bullshit that will make me remain digital only.

Paid the extra 3.99 to ensure it was on time and Amazon tells me it isn't going to be here until at the very least, Thursday. Which, considering the fact that until this morning it said it would be here by 8PM tonight, I'm not going to believe them.

They gave me a 5$ credit after I complained. So, essentially, it's 1$ for me to go out and hope EB has some copies left. I assume they do but this is obnoxious.

Combat is SO GOOD. The mp system, warping, evasion, parrying, and how it all ties together is amazing. Holy shit!

Yup yup loving it. Working with Type C control right now because I can control camera and run at same time as switching between offense/defense. Got to claw hand to work soft lock and defend at same time is the only issue I'm forseeing.

Hold the defense button down instead of attack. Watch the magic. You'll soon realized you should only hold attack when you know it's safe.

The fact that you can just hold the defense button down permanently is really killing my enjoyment of the combat system. It really cheapens the combat to know that you can just opt out of skillful dodging/parrying by holding the defense button down forever and taking no damage. Does this tactic start failing eventually as the game progresses, or do you lose some resource when defending that you will run out of if you sit on the defense button?

I'm in the same boat man and I'm furious. Probably just going to go to Target and buy a copy there and return my Amazon copy whenever it eventually decides to show up. I shot an email to Amazon to see if they'll let me have a digital copy now and I'll return the physical one later. Doubt that'll work but worth a try.

Same thing happened to me. Contacted support and they upgraded me to free one day shipping. It won't be here until Wednesday though.

This won't let you dodge all the attacks. You also need to dodge roll.

Yeah and that is why when I want a game ASAP I only buy it physically from the store down the street. Fuck the discounts, website pre-order and all that.

Bump. If this is true then I might recommend the same for the rest of us day one normies.

Went ahead and booted up XV while 1.02 downloads because I heard there is an install once you start the game as well. If the install finishes before 1.02, am I safe to start or does the patch have a big impact on the first hour?

There are some skills you can unlock with your AP that give great bonuses for perfect dodging and blocking, so I'd say go for those and focus on timing instead of holding the defense button down.

If my copy somehow miraculously shows up I will call in sick to work, fuck it, it's been 10 years and not since FFVII have I been this hyped for a Final Fantasy.
