Oh ty now i feel better
And you can start playing! i hope you all have fun much
3% of 16Gb lol >.<
Yes, feels a lot better. Nice to know I have it in case of emergencies though.
NPCs that are part of sidequests have a different color on the mini-map than regular people. As for the main story quest, there's a big star that shows you where the next objective is located.
English dub, it's so well done in my opinion.

Can anyone with the guide tell me if the game has much (if any) missables?
Hmm, still no email confirming shipment of my Wizard's Edition. Did anyone else get an email? Hopefully it comes soon, even though I'm on the other side of the country from Namco Bandai. I did manage to pick up the guide when I went to GameStop last nite... damn I am sooooo wanting to play this.

yeah i did. but i knew where the first hour stuff was since i watched video. now it's going to be a task trying to find the next location lol.
Locked how? wut? the game froze? D:Ah poop, just got past the mushroom growing bit and got to the save point, clicked save and bam locked up
Now I gotta do that all again, grr >_<
Well, kinda. With the sidequest, they give you what you're supposed to do, then you have to go find it. Thre isnt' a blip unless you get close to the NPC, then their icon starts blinking on the mini map. Otherwise, you're on your own. Fetch quests are somewhat of a hassle since I'm being told to go to a location to find X item, then I arrive in that location but can't find it.
Speaking of which, can somebody show me where the traveler's

American dub it is, then! I think I will start the game on easy because I am not really playing it for challenging gameplay. I am in for the story, charm of the characters and world exploration. I am ready for this! Although, I will end up starting over when my girlfriend gets home from work.
first thing i did haha
i actually hit select to hide the mini map too. i only like it on for the world map
quick thought:
was anyone else a little disappointed when they first went to the other world and the camera went from the static overhead view in motorville to behind the back 3rd person view?
i was so psyched when the game first started and i thought it was gonna have an old style rpg camera. oh well
It is where he says it is.
go outside of ding song dell and northwest, you should see a river/pond type deal. Somewhere along the river will be an island with two trees on it, go on it an you should get a "!" around there.

I did initially, but it can make things really difficult. It's too bad, cuz it makes certain quests way too easy if it's on, and others way too difficult when it's off.

Having just watched some videos of the English version... it's a much better job than the Japanese VA for sure. It helps that the backdrop of the real world is pretty much 1950s America. Honestly, the only good voice acting in the Japanese version was Shizuku/Drippy (the fairy companion you have). The other characters were pretty shit.
Screw that, I can't do the "Wander aimlessly looking for a objective for an hour" with the miniquests if I want.

there are stairs on the side of one of the building, beside the shop where you got your costume.
I've only played about 30 minutes, and most of that was watching more than playing really.

If you found one, you've already triggered it. The other ones are in odd locations, one for example is
in one of the stores.
I actually agree. I am really enjoying the voices so far and Drippy is great.
This vid here recaps the first 30 minutes in 4 minutes. Spoils the beginning story but still leaves a lot of the cutscenes fresh for when you start the game on your own.
amazing soundtrack
i may actually play the whole thing without mute
check in doors, and zone2 of the town

Haven't received my Giffy DLC code yet either.
I'm also trying to stay strong and not crack the seal on this SE while I wait for Wizard Edition to arrive. But reading this thread makes it really tempting to do so.

probably faster if you contact CS
True, but CT is one of my favorite games of all time, and I've beaten it once a year for going on 15 years now. I'm saving my playthrough of CT for a little later in the year.
Also, I don't want to burn myself out too bad. I enjoy Rogue Galaxy, but never beat it thanks to my PS3 dying and losing my game saves. I forgot how much I enjoy it, and also, how hard it can be.
Ni No Kuni is going to be a treat this weekend!

Looks like you already made your choice, but I think you will find it was a good one. Someone posted a day or so ago that they found the English to be much more engrossing than the Japanese, and so I gave the English a shot. I hadn't planned to. I am finding the English VA to be wonderful so far, with no complaints. I really expected Drippy to get on my nerves, but he is far and away my favorite so far. His speech is wonderful.
Absolutely. So happy someone mentioned it was possible to do so before I even had my copy. It was the first thing I did. It has made things a bit of a scavenger hunt at times as the game was clearly created with the guide meaning to be used though. By that I mean there are very few directional cues in text so far for me. No, "Oh it is up north! Beyond the mountains!" type dialogue, which I assume is because they know that the star will just lead you there.
Turning it off brings back the excitement of the old days, of having to wander just a bit too far the wrong way and getting spanked to death for my troubles.
This game is the first game in a very long time that I have found myself counting the workday hours down, in anticipation of getting back to it.

I doubt I'll be able to keep it off forever. I've been able to maintain it so far and I just finished Ding Dong Dell, but once they stop explaining to me where I need to look for things I'll probably turn it back on.

Yeah, I don't think I wanna turn that off. I do press select to turn the minimap off, though. Pressing R1 when I get lost is good enough.

Anyone know how big the total download size is from PSN? I'm downloading the 6gb file now, but I see people saying there's a 16gb file too? Need to figure out how much space to clear from my HDD so it downloads automatically with no problem once released on the EU servers.
