Wait a minute. 40 GB!!?? What in the actual fuck.
ps3 needs download space + installation space. basically that's how it works unlike xbox.
HOPEFULLY ps4 isn't the same.

3GB or so for the install.
My comment about needed 40GB is because you need the space to download the game (20~ GB) and then space to install it.
Ok, thanks!

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
There's no way of knowing if this Avatar was already taken besides someone saying as such so if this specific one is taken by anyone prior to me taking it then I'll change it. Otherwise, I like this Avatar! I love Studio Ghibli art. =P
EDIT: As I suspected, it seems that someone claimed this Avatar prior to me, so I'm going to look for another Studio Ghibli avatar in general.

It has a mandatory 3 GB installation I believe. Don't know beyond that, I'm guessing if a lot of this in movies and VA it probably doesn't need more.

i don't think it does. i kinda want to see how the game runs if it's running off of HDD rather than disc version.

I'm not usually a fan of JRPGs but this game really has caught my eye, but idk if i should buy it.
so has anyone who has played it, can you say its only for hardcore JRPGs fans or is it pretty fun and for people like me?

I should've erred higher, but nevertheless the point is there's a sizable required install. Bad for anyone really low on space, but good for those of us that'd rather keep loading to a minimum.
It's a pretty easy game for people who would only want to enjoy the game. So far I'm 3 hours into the game and it's really gooooood. Hard to find a JRPG like this these days.
I would just download the demo if I were u just to see. But when you do download the demo at around with the battle system and learn the basics.
Namco special edition or regular ?

Someone from GameFAQs (Spork__Knight) got to pick up their guide and game at a local shop tonight! Pretty awesome. He also posted some images of the guide which are stunning and gorgeous as expected.
He posted some images of the inside of the book, but I am... not sure if that's allowed here.

Got the regular edition. I didn't know until recently that Canadians can still get the wizard's edition. Ah well, I'm in it for the game, so no big deal.
Incredible game so far. I've only played about an hour or so, but it's everything I wanted. The English language track is also pretty great.
If anyone has any questions, let me know. I'm not super far (just got my first familiar), but I'll do my best.
Same here. Who knows when they'll start shipping out the WEs. T_T
How expansive are the 2d cut scenes ? I guess will be sight to behold at 720p

I'm still on the fence about this one. The demo was cool, but I hear the difficulty is pretty brutal and I feel like I'll end up hitting a road block and just quit playing it. Although, I wonder if it'll eventually be rare and nice to hold onto a copy (even though you can get it digitally, which may degrade the value in the future...).

Dammit. Now I want the guide. It looks great.
It says on the site itself that they don't ship until after 1/22/2013. So that day or after. I'm hoping to be surprised though.
The cutscenes are gorgeous! So far there haven't been many 2d cutscenes (i just got to the waterfalls area that I think is in the demo). Mostly only for key plot moments, but they look as good as any of Ghibli's recent offerings! I wish all the cutscenes were in 2d, but I know that'd be pretty much impossible.

If you play through slowly and try not to rush through the game, you will likely not meet the 'difficulty spikes'. However, if you charge head first without doing some leveling before a new area, you may run into some trouble.
The question then becomes how much there is to explore, how quick leveling is, etc. It'll be kind of annoying if forced grinding is practically necessary, but if I can make do just casually poking around to see what I can find or try to recruit monsters (depending on how this works) I probably won't have an issue with it.

Where did you get the regular edition from?
How is the exploration/towns? Lots to do? Lots to find? Ever play Dark Cloud 2? Any similarities? Any side-dungeons or anything like that? Standard setting options? I know you can turn off destination indicators (thank goodness), but can you speed up some of the battle sequences by any means?
I found it interesting that there are 2D sections in the game, which look incredible. I was also astonished at the snowy setting, game captures a snowy village so well. I just love the warmth I feel when looking at the trailers.
Seems to just be talking about the regular edition. Book talk is about the guide.

Yeah, I misread, my bad. Thought he got the "Regular Namco Edition"
Oh I know, just meant the exact date. I'm getting anxious in playing this is all.

Some glitches have popped up besides the wand thing! But it could be this person's PS3. (ArronAubin@GameFAQs reported this in multiple posts):
These only occurred once each though and didn't happen when the game was reset so... it probably won't happen for everyone... hopefully.

You can't just recruit monsters, it doesn't work like Pokemon. Don't want to spoil you as it's story related for "recruiting" monsters.
It didn't freeze for me even once while playing this game. Now I'm in my 5th hour already, and way past those locations.
Did you delete the game data for games? Not the saves, but the game data tends to take up a lot of space. I clean that out every now and then, myself.
Hey man! The exploration is great! I'm still near the beginning, but there's definitely lots to do. The world map is full of enemies and sparkly item things to pick up, while the locations you enter into are full of treasure chests and things. So far a lot of chests I've encountered have been "sealed by magic", so I've been taking notes on their locations.
Also, you can do side quests for people throughout the town (so far just fetch quests from ding dong dell that I've gotten), and it's interesting because unlike main quests, there are no markers providing any info on the location of the missions, so it's up to you to find em.
I did play Dark Cloud 2 in fact, and loved that game. I suppose it has a similar feel, being a Level 5 game but I'd say it has more in common with Dragon Quest 8 on PS2.
As for side-dungeons, not sure yet and I totally didn't know you can turn off quest indicators! I'm on that now haha.
I don't think you can speed up battle sequences as far as I know. As you level up the weaker guys die almost instantly, so that's pretty fast. I can check on this.
I am very excited to see some of the new locations like the snowy one you mentioned. I visited a ghost that told me about a far-off desert, which should be interesting as well!
I hope you enjoy the game! I know I do. And as for where I got the game, where do you live? I can pm you if you're in Canada.

Ordered the Wizard's edition from Namco Store because of all the glowing recommendations. Can't wait for it to arrive =^D
Can you get inside many houses/shops in the towns ?
They are streaming here if anyone wants to see.

They seem to be missing the entire point of the battle system at this point.
Why are they not using the Imajinn to fight? They're just spamming Oliver's Fireball move...
You have enough money to buy this game, but you don't have $50 for a bigger hard drive? Because that's all it costs, they are just standard SATA laptop form factor drives.
Maybe he wants to go all out and get a Momentus XT, or some other SSD/HDD hybrid if it's out there, or he ALSO wants an external HD for backing up which can double the cost right there (useful if they intend to get a Wii U though, and it's not a bad idea to have around even if not). But yeah, it's probably a good idea to look for what you can cut out and squeeze in a new HD.
Though given it's a 60 GB PS3 I'd personally consider just saving up for a new PS3 just to be safe. This would be way less of an issue if they didn't bind HDs to the system, bind them to accounts or something, or at least lock off accounts if you don't authorize them through PSN successfully.
