People going back and adding their region to the spreadsheet, you da real MVPs.

Happy to accept any region but considering the 100 friend limit would like to get a decent percentage of the same region as me just for timezone considerations.

 

[El Odio]

Added my NNID to the spreadsheet, BasedSloth. I'll go through and add people once my copy gets here. Till then I'm gonna have to drop out of this thread to avoid getting spoiled. Till then!

 

[george_us]

For those in the U.S. who've ordered through Amazon, is UPS or USPS responsible for shipping?

For me, UPS but I believe it depends on how close you are to an Amazon facility.

 

[Iriscomeback]

Very nice OT!

Currently 10 hours in and having a blast. Will post some impressions later plus some questions.

A lot I don't understand yet!

 

[chadboban]

whats the most epic gif for this game so i can show my buddies? xD

Made these within the past week.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Can somebody explain to me the weird links in Xenoblade OT titles? What is the joke and where did it come from? I remember Xenoblade 3D got changed to something like this as well.

 

[Remapped88]

My SE is preparing for shipment but won't come till next Tuesday......

 

[spyroflame0487]

Noice Noice Noice. Glad we have an OP for this.

I'm super hyped....but I ordered the special edition from Gamestop. Has anyone else done so as well, and still waiting on shipping? Will Gamestop ship on launch day meaning I wont get it probably til next week? ;-;

Yep.

 

[deoee]

Awesome OT! Great great work!
All of my friends are getting this over christmas, sadly I do not have the money to buy it (New 3ds and Kindle got stolen last week >_>)
Well I'll just sit there and listen to all the awesome stories they share, watching my Wii U collect some more dust

 

[HawthorneKitty]

ouh Elma Twins?

:shiver

There's a doujin for this, huh?

Your Potato avatar gets me every time.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Any deets on the USB? What size is it? Can you move the songs from the USB and use it as an actual USB drive?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Oh, there's a spreadsheet now. Added myself to the list.

 

[Diablos54]

Added all the EU guys from the Google spreadsheet!

 

[DigiDom]

Yessss download started. Not long now .

You're thinking of the import OT. Xeno 3D was link-free.

The music video linked in the import OT was me being silly and making fun of people bitching about the ugly faces. At the same time, it's a jab at the split opinions regarding the music in this game with it being a trashy old Eurodance song.

The music video in this title is based on everybody constantly referencing the DMX song X Gon' Give it to Ya which someone used to cut an XCX trailer later (the one linked here). Also, in this case, the video completes the question and answer of the subtitle ("want a baked potatsu? x gon' give it to ya"). The Potatsu stuff comes from the game. Lin wants to eat Tatsu all the time because he looks like a friggin' potato.

Bad joke title just got worse because I explained it. You're welcome everybody.

 

[Sölf]

Come tomorrow, 2/3 of my friendlist will be GAF user. Oh boy, oh boy!

I just hope that DHL dude won't come when I am not home, in the bathroom or something else. Else I might die.

Don't eat anything so you don't have to go to the bathroom for more than a few seconds.

 

[daydream]

lovely thread, as always, moon

haven't played the first xenoblade but i'm still thinking about picking this up, hm

will gaf be playing online a lot?

 

[Ravijn]

While I was sitting here waiting for the game to get here I decided to order the hard cover strategy guide. I figure I may need it for this game.

 

[Sölf]

Yeah, well, I have to take a shower at some point! D:
And no one is here except for me. ;__;

 

[SirPenguin]

What an embarrassingly bad title when the most perfect GAF OT title was within your grasp. Just some real shameful stuff.

I'm going to listen to DMX on repeat for the new few days out of protest

 

[Numb]

Can't make my usual darkskin girl with white hair cos there already is one.
Dangit.

All has become clear.

And I feel worse for it.

Thank you? ;(

Leave a note in the door that if you do not open the door he should drop it in your garden / hide it under your car / etc.

Obviously he has to take the note with him afterwards.

What? Why? Need I remind you what you're getting in the mail? You have no use for showers.

 

[Hugstable]

Wooo got the game installing right now! Should be good to go by the time launch

 

[flatearthpandas]

Game unlocks the second I'm off work today. Add me if you want some passive multiplayer and will be at it all weekend etc.

Nnid flatearthpandas

 

[tauroxd]

Is there a countdown for when the game is going to be unlocked for those who preloded it in US? I mean, how many hours until that... Thanks in advance.

 

[Sölf]

While I appreciate the advice, that's not so easy in a skyscraper. Without a garden. And too many other people.

@TheMoon:
Well, I know. But then a second problem arises: I have to leave the house at around 4 PM anyways. So I basically have to shower before he arrives or loose precious time playing the game!

Midnight. (YMMV based on timezone, you weird Americans ^^)

New plan: Get up unreasonably early, before the delivery people could possibly arrive, shower and get ready.

 

[jmizzal]

So hyped for tomorrow

Whats this?
"Add-on DLC: Japanese DLC is already included for free on-disc with the Western release!"

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Holy fuck guardian deity

 

[tauroxd]

You are a beautiful person. Thank you very much!

 

[Venfayth]

Never got in to the first game but picking this one up tomorrow. Excited to hopefully have a good long RPG to dive in to.

Why not leave it at your neighbours? D:

In Germany people who take your package have to sign a thingy from the DHL guy so no one can steal your stuff.

BTW: Anybody happen to have a spare copy to gift to me? :v

4 party members that were only avaible after purchase in Japan.

The Japanese DLC was 4 characters that had affinity missions and rewards (new Skells, weapon, etc.) and fashion armour (which lets you have one set of armour for appearance applied on top of a set of armour for stats). And other things I can't remember now. I remember a really good mission for grinding.

[QFNS]

Added myself to the NNID sheet.

I am scraping the edge of my Wii U HDD space with 3/4 data packs. Do you think I will miss having the Skell data pack? I don't want to delete any of my Mario Kart or Smash stuff.

Because this house is somewhat strange. First, ringing the bell at two places right after anothers locks out the first apartment that was ringed from opening the door. Don't ask me why. No one understands. And DHL people sometimes ring at two places at once, so if the second place is not there they just assume no one is there (first can't open the door, second not available), throw a letter in your mail "Please get it tomorrow at XYZ" and go away.

But yeah, I will probably just get up early. And then wait. And we all know what happens when you get up early:
The mail doesn't arrive until like 3 PM.

Yeah it's always the same.
I remember waiting for packets as I was younger, jumping up at EVERY heavy car sound I heard only to be disappointed.

All it does is make the shop/customization UI smoother since it doesn't have to pull all the assets you're cycling through off the disc.

I really shouldnt buy this game until my semester end, but damn it's hard to resist.
