This thread has made me sad for the first time since my PS3 broke. If they don't significantly drop the price on those things by the time this comes out I don't know what I'm going to do, short of buying a 360.
(and Heavy Rain plus having a brand new gaming rig ready for ME2 next year is what makes that an unappealing thought before anyone jumps down my throat)

Mine shipped via EMS as well on the 15th it says. I hold a little hope that it might come this weekend but I am guessing probably next week.

Comparing mine to your January pre-order... I'm definitely at the bottom of the list. I'm having doubts about getting it :/N30RYU said:
I'm thinking we're SOL. But... the fact that we went from 'Order received' to 'Preparing order' gives me hope. Or is it false hope?polyh3dron said:fuck, my Play-Asia order is still preparing too

play-asia:
...as opposed to 'in stock, 24 hours", "1-5 days", or "2-4 weeks", etc.
I'm now assuming they shipped everything they had initially, but still can get their hands on more units in the above time period.

I can't over how good the clothes move and animate in the game (and in the Versus trailer). Squeenix delivered.
FFXII was not re-lipsynched for the English release. It annoyed me the entire as the facial animation seemed quite good. Too bad I wasn't playing in japanese. KH2 was though...I think. Sometimes it looked weird.

...Are you serious? "Not very Final Fantasy?" Please, indulge me in what "Final Fantasy" looks like. Really. I'd love for someone to show me. You wanna know what it is? Its Nomura's TWEWY style meets D.Gray-man, but with school informs and moar cloaks. Its very clear that though this was origianlly directed at the cellphone crowd, the Monster Hunter middle/highschool student isn't too far removed. Personally, its not a question of "feeling" the art direction so much as it is "what's their spin on this 'the-world-against-you'/teenage rebels/student-mercenaries/modern-setting-with-magic scenario that's been tapped by so many others already?"stuburns said:
Will they make it compelling, or will it just be another not-too-shallow-but-not-too-deep-either kind of RPG.
So apparently the demo consisted of 5.09GB of data on the Blu-Ray, the files timestamped for 12/03~12/06. Old demo, that takes up a lot of space ;o

I totally agree, I'm extremely excited about Agito, the art is pure Nomura (which I love) and the theme of the game feels fresh and unique. Hell, even if the battle system isn't overly complicated or new, I am definitely hotly anticipating it!
Ah. I don't really remember much about XII's lip sync or lack thereof. I just remember the animations and localization being really sweet. But yeah, there were some parts of KH2 where the lipsync was just off and weird, where others it was perfect. :/jett said:FFXII was not re-lipsynched for the English release.

I just hope they give at least KH2 levels of English lipsync. MGS4 did a pretty decent job, so at least there's a precedent this generation. Not exactly Capcom-levels of lipsync (only thanks to the fact that there is no Japanese dub), but still, I'm just hoping they don't decide to not match lip flaps and facial animations to what's being said.

Since I wont get this demo for a while... I'm watching it for the first time:DJmizuhara said:
The battle transition annoys me. The UI should just slide up when you enter battle.The rank up screen annoys me too. One or both hides loading, but it could be done more intuitively IMO.
The knock up that one best does is too repetitive.
Note: I'm just nitpicking things. I know I'll love this game.

When will you start playing the demo? I just went to your site and all I see is one trailer being played over and over again.

holy cheese, the only bad thing I can say so far is that the audio of the footsteps is far too loud...sounds like a metronome...I originally thought it was part of the music...crap beat is what I initially thought
Awntawn said:
If I'm reading that breakdown correctly, the movies on the demo take up 4.42GB? Good lord. :lol Everything else (engine, environments, and other data) looks small. Wonder what format those movies are in? Thinking they're going to have to compress the hell out of those videos for the 360. Some sort of Windows Media codec to the rescue? I have no idea what the 360 uses for video...
