I do. I have a few sealed rarities. GTA Trilogy (xbox), Metroid Prime Trilogy, and ICO to name a few. I don't plan on opening my copy of Wizard Edition.

Sweet, kind of like an in-game codex, FFXII-style? I hope so, anyway.
The way it seemed in the demo, you unlocked pages in the book as you go, but not 100% sure on how that works, but the in-game and physical books are supposedly the same.

Yeah. It's Ni No Kuni.

For those lucky enough to get the wizards edition.......fu. At least I get that gorgeous steel book....heh
I understand the collective nature of people, but it would seem like a waste to me to spend as much on the Wizard's Edition as one does and then have it collect dust. You'll never be able to thumb through your own Wizard's Companion, or use the gold DLC familiars. You'll never cuddle with the plush of Drippy, nor will you be able to pretend the empty [and rather large] box for the Wizard's Edition is a portal to a parallel world as you attempt to traverse the boundries of space/time as we know it.
Unless you were getting two, then you're totally covered.

Maybe. One order was done with a currently valid card. The other is not. In order to update my payment information, I had to cancel and reorder through Digital River. I don't believe that I will get that copy until it is in my hands.
Wow, so there's hope? Nicely done!
If I had my time back I probably would have ordered two myself [since it was essentially made-to-order and I wouldn't be "stealing" a copy from anyone else]. But honestly, at this point, I'll just be happy to receive it at all.
I do too. But it's more a product of me not opening stuff because I don't have time to play, hehe. But I don't really see what keeping them sealed does except retain value, and I don't really see how value matters unless you plan to resell at a profit later. Or maybe you want to open them when you're 80 and pretend like you've gone back in time? That'd be pretty neat
Pretty much this. Unless you plan to sell it later and make some mega bucks I don't see the point in it sitting there unused. People are already making megabucks pre-release on this thing as it is though!
Hmm... I just got off the phone with the Gamestop where I preordered the game from. The guy said they already have the steelbooks in, and that I could pick mine up today if I wanted!! I will do that later on in the afternoon.
Check to see if your GS has it in stock, so you can be the first to pick out the steelbook that doesn't have any dents/scratches.

For weeaboos maybe, but the Japan/anime craze has long ended in the west.
It's as dumb as putting out a big budget summer flick & having it all subtitled.

So excited after playing the demo at E3. I can tell this game is going to be special.

This is like the third or fourth game this gen that I'm going to pick up day one. Any good deals going on with this game or am I going to be forced to pay $60?

Pretty sure that's happened before.
I doubt it will be a problem for the people they were marketing it to in the first place.

I thought this game would get a huge push & a big advertisement?
I don't think having an English name would help Ni No Kuni sell boatloads.

You should just download the demo from the US PSN.

Please, this is Namco.
Just putting up a demo on PSN in the states would be considered a hugh push and a big advertisement for them.
I don't live in the US. Maybe it'll show up anyway? I know that the demo was extremely polarizing so that in itself isn't enough for me.

Whoops, sorry about that. Here is footage from part one of the demo: Ni No Kuni US demo part 1
Part two of the US demo:
Ni No Kuni US demo part two
And here is a recorded live stream Q&A on the Japanese version:Ni No Kuni Q&A live stream
Ta, watching now.

Absolutely not. It will get about as much of a push as a Tales game.
And even if it did, I still disagree that the name would be a problem.
I agree that naming it Ni no Kuni is a dumb move. I don't really get the point. They don't even have the excuse of the game being Japanese in flavor.
Okay, what about them?

If you say it three times fast, it sounds kinda sorta like "Narnia," and there's the US logo, which looks like what was used on the Narnia films.
(...which then begs the question of why L5 would want this game compared to Narnia, since that film series shit the bed ages ago...)

I like it. Like they did with Baten Kiatos.
I probably would have just gone with "The Other World" or maybe even "Studio's Ghibli presents: The Other World" just so you get Ghibli fans on board. Most of my Ghibli fan friends don't even know about this game.

That's the tone framing the other complaints.

I actually have a sealed copy of the Dark Souls collectors edition for PS3. It was kind of an accident, I wanted the collectors edition but they were sold out, so I bought the normal, then later found somewhere with the collectors edition so I bought it and saw no reason to open it
It should be noted that when you get to a higher level than the enemies, they will run away, instead... so the reviewer must have been trying to rush to get to the review.

I'm a fan of both Level 5 and Ghibli, so this game is a must have for me. My only regret is that I can't afford any of the special editions.

I do not think that word means what you think it means. Unless you live on the same block as UPS or something. Anyway, this game is looking really good. It's doubtful that I'll pick it up on launch, but I'm a fan of Studio Ghibli and Level-5, so I definitely want to check it out.
