So, I just happen to be at EB Games today with a friend and I had to pre-order FFXIII. I don't normally pre-order games anymore, buuut just to be safe, I did this time. I'm actually a little excited for this game. I haven't really been excited for anything in a long time, maybe because I'm getting older haha who knows.

Even though I'm super excited for the game, it will still most likely take me a month or so to beat it, unless I cut any social life I may have for the month and I might get it beat sooner. Also with the release of this, I'm hoping more info will start to flow about XIV, we can hope anyways.

Anyone else pre-order it? Or doing a countdown to release?

I also pre-ordered it. I am honestly hoping that since most companies like to include little bonuses for people who preorder the game that perhaps I can get a beta key or something for FFXIV. This is mostly a pre-guess type thing, nothing is for certain but if this did happen, I'd be extremely happy.. Other than that, I'm looking forward to playing this game as soon as I get my hands on it, been dying to play a new game for a lil while now..

Yeah im waiting for it too, the game is awesome!! A friend of mine imported the japanese version and well obviously i played for a lil while (like first 3 to 4 hours) and well, the game is amazing, i mean i was hooked up and couldnt stop playing even tho i didnt understand a thing lol.

I am gonna take my time with it. I am gonna at least put 150 hours in it before i actually try to beat it!!! lol

i preordered it too!! they gave me like a mini strategy guide with it as well as ten percent off the guide when it comes out. but i did this at gamestop...

"7 Days..."

No, I haven't watched the tape. I would be fuming if I watched it today. I mean, we've been waiting for this game for years, and if anything were to happen to me on the day of FFXIII's launch... xD

Anyway, I originally pre ordered the Collectors Edition, but I cancelled that and now I don't hold any order at all. I am going to chance going in to the store next week. I think I am going to use some of my GAME points, as well as trading a few games in. Money is tight in March...

But, yea. Soon the (long, long) wait will be over. Finally get to play the game! Most anticipated game of ever.

EDIT: I so totally pre ordered this game today, ha!

So close I can see it.

I pre-ordered it too, and they didn't give me anything. I did see the mini guide thing though, I think. I saw something behind the counter with FFXIII on it, I just think the guy sucked at his job. Oh well, I don't need it anyways.

But it has the coupon for the guidebook!!! if i where you i sooo would've been like hey does that come with the preorder ? i mean you knew about it right hell next time you go to that store just bring your receipt and ask for it.

[Kurisu]

Ch1efer, did you pre order at GAME? That's where I placed my order, and I seen that behind the counter as well. Don't go blaming the guy, though; you needed to pre order the Collectors Edition guide to get given it. I'm not bothering with the guide, so I didn't get it.

EDIT: Forget what I said above, I thought you lived in the UK as well!

Can you believe that I have absolutely ZERO hype for this game? I never have, really, but it started to increase a little bit back when the game was released in Japan. Now, though? I repeat, ZERO hype. I wonder why?

I suppose the fact that I own neither a PS3 nor a Xbox 360 might be a contributing factor.
I had planned on owning a a PS3 by now, but it just hasn't worked out. Not enough extra money to burn!

These are sad times indeed.

[Kurisu]

I have been hyped since FFXIII was first announced, which could be a bad thing as I could easily be let down. NO, Kurisu! Think positive! 5 days to go...

[wick]

zomg 4 more days!!!!!! cant wait im going to the midnight release at the gamestop by the mall in va i will be playing alllllllll day for like a week haha. im so stoked!

[Ch1efer]

I went back and complained that I didn't get anything with it, so they gave me the mini guide.


I have to agree with you Eorzea, no hype for it either really. The biggest reason I'm excited is... so I have something to play. It must be cuz I'm getting old. The good old excitement I'm use to get from new release's, just hasn't been the same. Last game I was a little excited for was probably RE5, and even then I wasn't that excited. Even, sadly, FFXIV I'm not as excited as I was for games just a few years ago. I mean who gets excited for a game like Phantasy Star Universe... I did.

Well, I'm off to read the mini guide, since I wont be getting any other guide for it. That takes all the fun out of it. The mini guide will give me a smooth start though.

[Kurisu]

2 days to go!!! Good times ahead, I can sense it. Hmm, now to figure which game(s) to trade in. Most probably Disagea 3 as I don't really like SRPG's. May trade in Star Ocean: First Departure for PSP, too.


Ch1fer, how did you find the mini guide? Was it any help at all?

[Ch1efer]

I didn't read the whole thing, got bored and fell asleep. I'll read it if I need to. Looks pretty simple, I should be able to get the hang of things without looking at it. But if I get stuck or have a question early in game, I know where to look.
