Previewing has I's in it, he already revealed where the I's are, so unless he made a mistake by not putting the I's in the third word, previewing is not it.
lol, apparently he has some other way of ''revealing a letter every day'' than we thought. An I was just added, preview is still possible it seems.
EDIT 2: previewing is not it it seems the E moved one place to the left. No place for VI between the two E's. This is frustrating and it's back to the drawing board again.

Assuming it's like a game of hangman. But it may not be.
In any case, I'm interested to find out what it'll turn out to be.

Nice pic.
Except in his post there are two spaces between the last E and the I.
I'm still going with 'pretending'.
Either or, apparently I can pick up my copy in about 3 hours. I'll spoil the whole damn game...
unless the game box has some crafty NDA in it.

It's Zelda though. My Japanese is basic (ish) but managed with Minish Cap and Wind Waker through to completion with little problems.
Sure, there's some trial and error, but - hey - at least the game lasts you longer.

Sorry guys, I do wish that was what was happening. You guys are VERY close, but just a bit off. Keep the guessing up

YesAsia is dreadful. I preordered FF3 DS from there, and it was backordered a month before they cancelled it. Never again.
And now I am scared. I ordered from them once(Ouendan) and got it fine and quickly but never preordered.Vyse The Legend said:
I love Play-Asia hella more and ordered from them a lot of times (maybe 20) and yeah, just didn't have enough money to go with them and their shipping this time. I usually always go with them since they've let me down.

My translator Patricia also is getting the game pretty soon, and she has agreed to work on a translation guide.
I also just got a really cool screenshot of the "collection" screen:
Thanks to Hypernyte for it.
Goddess Pearls?

Alright, got the first part of the story:
Shiera (the fairy) says she lost her memory after being in a situation similar to Link's. She just remembers waking up in that island and being helped by Shiwan. Then she tells you that there have been many earthquakes recently, and that the number of monsters has increased. Also, Shiwan mentions many people have disappeared at sea lately, but none of them has come back.

This introduction really feels like Link's Awakening. That part where the lightning hits the ship...this "monsters are increasing" lately...Link waking up after.
Watch...the final boss will be The Nightmares again, heh.

The staff told me I need to set you guys straight. Everyone of you have been wrong in your guesses. I apologize for making a big deal out of something like this, for leading people on, and for breaking one of the rules. I will not be able to say what I know, and I should never have brought it up. I won't do it again, and I hope that I can still make the rest of this thread worthwhile with continuing coverage of the Japanese version of this game.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Apparently there are 28 islands and 8 dungeons. Playtime around 15-20 hours. Niether Ganon nor Vaati are the final boss. Courage, Wisdom, Power theme for the dungeons. Fire Dungeon boss apparently is "cool".
Somebody said this on my site.

You know, such spoilers should be bannable.
This isnt even talk between gamers who play the game right now, it´s just...a spoiler.
Well, now it happened, just would be nice if it didnt happen again in the future

Well, I mean...a guy posted it...so it's not verifiable yet. It's more or less somebody "saying" that's what happened. I mean, the game is out...and this info can be made public...and I mean, it is marked as a spoiler. It's not bannable to post a marked spoiler, is it? Nobody made you read the spoiler...

Nintendo made me, the day they created Zelda-awsomeness. T think you get it ;-)
It´s esier to avoid official topics about games that are out already, but we´re all waiting for the game, so such explicit spoilers shouldnt be given. and im not speaking about the amount of islands, i wont remember that number when i get the game. ^^

Now you know what Final Fantasy fans go through every time a new game comes out.
But seriously. Let me break it down.
The number of islands: Really doesn't matter because you don't know how big they are. Tingle RPG Had...crud...12 islands? I forgot I haven't played it since last year. But I mean, that game took forever the first time, easily around 20 hours. But it's possible this game has 28 "small" islands that aren't as big. I doubt it. It's all relative. I know, I know, now you know when you visit an island, you have X amount left to visit. But I think during the course of the game, you'll forget, or if you don't encounter that X amount, you'll be off exploring - it might actually "help" your experience.
The number of hours: People said Twilight Princess was 70-100 hours, which it was for some people. It was 30 hours for me. It may be 50 hours for somebody else. Same with this game. If the spoiler info is true, it means somebody is very good at Zelda and games in general, and they would take less time to beat it. So 15-20 hours for a skilled player is probably 30-40 for an average. But again, all pointless because it is unique to the player. I really hate people estimating "length" of a game, but it always happens.
The content: All the stuff he said was ambiguous at best. He wasn't very detailed.

Anyway, the official homepage for Phantom Hourglass is updated with two new buttons.

What exactly is the nature of the above spoilers? Is it like storyline spoilers or what? I mean I wouldn't be inclined to click on them if I knew what they were.
EDIT: Ah, thats been cleared up above i see.
Also, i hope a translation guide comes out before I get my copy of the game, as I'm probably going to have a lot of trouble playing it without one apparently. x_X
