You can also buy the asian version which is significantly cheaper.

A lot of us bought it on the Hong Kong / Asia PSN store because it's cheaper there than the Japanese version. Here's what I wrote on another forum for how to do that:

I see, thanks! Importing it at this stage feels unnessecary and will probably not get me the game any earlier. I really wanna keep everything on the same account, so don't think I'm gonna buy it digitally. Just sucks it seems it isn't released in EU until 10th on PS4, so might wait and see if PC release is the same.
I tried to refuse giving it to him, he asks for it a few times before finally saying "Forget it, I don't need it!" then the quest just stalls from there until you give it to him.

ABCD or just AB?
My fingers are dying. The input for the ground heavy attack in particular.
Oh OK, I didn't think to cancel the rest of launch's animation in order to keep myself lower than the enemy lol

Thanks!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

I have no idea what this was meant to mean.
I imported a physical copy from Amazon Japan, it came two days after release.

Oh A-True ending.
The power of the ass.
I just max upgraded the
wooden stick
I didn't realize that was the weapon's use :v
EDIT:
But yeah, the game has combos...
Though, this is where the lack of lock-on above Normal becomes ass: you pretty much have to rely on soft lock-on.
I mean, it's pretty good, but it's an extra execution thing you have to take notice of.
I know rite
When is DLC that gives you chips to lower your damage lol
Yeah, the meta is kinda weird for me right now: do I want to optimize damage or do I want more combos >_>
Eagerly awaiting for the review thread, if this stays in the same range of HZD and Nioh it will be a great achievement.
Great! I hope this sells well enough to warrant another same (or even higher) budget game from Taro

and that NieR 1 remaster.
PS4 has been really solid recently.
Won't get HZD right now, but it's something I'll eventually want at some point.
EDIT:
Man, the chip system is actually addicting... it's pretty straightforward, but you're always trying to make sure you have the highest level chip, but at the lowest cost.
Could make farming pretty addicting since I want all the low cost chips.
Gimme the diamond level chips pls
On route B replay and I just got one shotted by
boss...
It unleashed a move I've never seen before lol
For whatever reason, I didn't survive the hit.
But yeah, even kinda just dicking around on the lower levels of difficulty, I keep seeing new things.
They really put a lot of effort into like the enemy moves and stuff and it's possible you won't necessarily see everything with just one playthrough.

The bottom part opens up and eats you... but maybe I've never been hit by it before :v

anyone else waiting for their Black Box to ship :/
So I finally got to start playing last night and I was loving everything, this game is everything I've wanted, I was having so much fun and then I lost all my plug-in chips and rage quit so hard.
First time I went to the desert the enemies dropped really good plug-ins like everywhere, but I must have either gotten incredibly lucky or those weren't random drops, because when I went back after losing everything to try to at least get a counter chip and some movement speed up none of them dropped anything for like a half hour. Game doesn't feel half as good without my Movement Speed up +4, does anyone know good way to farm them or should I just calm down and wait for more to drop through natural play?
I'm still pretty early I think
. I was fine with losing the chips when I thought I could farm it back quickly but man, losing all your souls was always the worst part of souls games.

I am too. Last email I got was about my card being charged, but no shipping notifications or anything.

Pro tip, if you turn off the game, even after failing to revive/salvage your old body, you will be back at your last save/quick save with all your chips intact.
Something to keep in mind if you rather lose a bit of progress than a good set of chips.
It's before you go into the
Emil cave

Man, time is flying as this thing is almost here. Still need to play Nier, which I have no doubt I'll like. Also, most of the way through Drakengard 2, been playing that one on and off for years now whenever I have the PS2 hooked up. Not as exotically wild as the first but simple fun collecting weapons. And come to think of it only one of a handful of Ubisoft-published games I have lol.
I'm keeping this on the short-term radar anyway.
Edit: not gonna have time for original Nier, not ready to drop Nioh...may just go straight to this after...

Well thanks, that's definitely what I would've done. I'll keep this in mind in the future.
I figured it would happen at some point, but I didn't expect it to take the wind out of my sails so much. Still excited to play more, but no way I'm doing side quests now without those movement chips, too much backtracking.

I'm somewhat jealous of the people who have received shipping confirmation already 😩
Not only have I not received a confirmation, the item isn't listed in my orders. Square's support has told me it's being processed and I still have the 50 cent authorization charge on my PayPal, so... ¯_(ツ

When did you order? Were you on the waitlist? If so they might not have charged some people yet.

yeah me too, square enix sent me this one week ago :
but since i did the game on digital thanks to the HK store, i can wait a little more

I don't think I was on the waitlist at all. I did have to update my payment info, so maybe they bumped me down the list. Which sucks, but I can live with it.
Debug mode and infinite life. Jokes aside, not that I'm aware of.
You wont complete the game if you dont
