Shit, I'm really considering changing the saving delivery to standard thanks to all this pre-release hype. Was not expecting such good reviews even though I always knew I would love it.

they should do the story/writing as well and let level 5 focus on the other stuff at least for sequel or something.
Just read the Edge review and they had almost no complaints about the game, only that the story wasn't up to the level of Ghibli's films.
In the Post Script they also wrote a bit about the localisation process of Japanese games and why Level 5 are the best at it. Read like a 9 to me.
Am allowed to post the review, it's not up on their website yet?

Level 5 was never great with story.
magazine scans are bannable.

Did Hino write this one too?

Wouldn't surprise me, it has that feel to me that I got from other major Level 5 non-DQ games.

This is amazing.
You're too old and mature for this sort of thing, right?

I am curious how old he is, and how old he was when Dark Cloud came out. Anyways there's better examples of games "too kiddy", especially if your concern is buying in a store. It's a plain, tasteful white cover, and if that's too much there's always online ordering whether it's shipping from Amazon/GameStop or digital delivery over PSN.

the video starts with him being around lvl 30'ish or so and he's showing stuff off there. so if those wanting to watch thinking it's beginning it's not lol.

LOL! I'm 33...keep fighting the good fight of staying young at heart!
My wife and I have been married for almost five years now and have been together for 7 and we still have separate accounts. I figure if she gets to spend her money on whatever she wants as long as the bills get paid, so can I.

He is credited as the scenario writer, I believe.
I hope the video has him catching a familiar. I've been looking for that to no avail.

Same here brother it's the only way to go, the two account thing that is.

I don't know if most people here care, but I watched some unboxing videos of the standard edition, and it seems that Namco Bandai normally does this with their games, but the manual included with the normal press of the game is in black and white as opposed to the full color of the Wizard's Edition.

lol amazing. WE wins.
It's the same way with the art on in the inside of the cover. In color in the case that comes in the WE, b&w in the retail version.

Damn, this is still at #1 on Amazon. I really hope that reflects overall sales, because I know it doesn't always (lot of #1s don't even make NPD data).

Hopefully. I mean I never even expected it to be in the top 50 on Amazon, really...
Wizard's Edition justified. But was it that serious of an expense to put them both in color in all versions? Well, I guess at this point I should just be thankful they printed anything on the inside cover, and that we even had a manual at all when everyone else is cutting them out. :/
Kinda frustrating how cheap companies are being, I guess it's because most people don't really care about some of the small details, certainly not enough to avoid getting the games.

It seems to be enough of an expense to the point where they regularly do this with regular editions/limited editions. I mean it probably doesn't cost that much more but I suppose they want to save money where they can?

I actually pushed a work-related lunch meeting back with multiple people by 5 minutes so I could get mine in.

be glad preorders were up on time.
I made my coworker go to lunch at 12:30 instead of 12... Namco's store was blocked by the firewall, so I would have to order from my iPhone. I wanted to make sure I was at lunch so I couldn't be pulled into a surprise meeting...
Take a sharpie and draw him in the corner of your screen. Totoro in every game! And never to vanish no matter how much you want him to.

32 here, and can not wait for my wizards edition! The bit about the color manual just makes the decision feel that much more justified...

There are Totoro-esque creatures in the game that are ADORABLE. I have an image, hold on.
One of the evolutions of the Familiar... named Suttoko in Japan. (from pixiv)

In that case, I'm putting Tom Servo in every game.
Hahaha, I just started a new job and instead of doing the formal meet and greet when I was in my new area, I got out my phone and ordered the WE in front of everyone while trying to make it seem I was responding to an important e-mail.
Pretty smooth.
The idea of getting a TV just to draw the MST3K crew at the bottom is honestly an amazing idea. Especially if it became the dedicated RiffTrax TV.
Yeah thats the thing. I was responding to one of our clients over email, while I thought. Hmm why not get the order done right away. Until I was sitting there punching my credit card numbers in, realising: Yeah this must seem strange to my colleagues

These cursed versions of the Drippy plushie (along with some other Ni No Kuni items) were handed out that this afternoon's NamcoBandai media event in San Francisco. Dennis Lee said they produced these at a smaller quantity compared to the uncursed versions in the Wizard Edition.

Damn, that's nice. Would have loved to have been able to get one of those.
Beautifull sarcasm! :b
Anyways, I guess if you have work with a high stress level this game is a step back from all that, into a very relaxing colorfull world.
Hah, 32 here as we'll. Really looking forward to this game. I think you are right about it being an escape, with the stress of daily life who wouldn't want to slip into a colorfull fantasy world. I've had the wizard ed pre ordered for quite a while now... The only question is should I open it or should I just go pickup a regular boxed copy?
