I LOVE this game so far, i'm 45 hours into it. However, I sense that the haters will gather very soon...
 
Awesome - and just like my Mass Effect 2 preorder, even though I did them months ago, I should still get the lower price and the bonus credit.

The only dilemma this puts me in is that the CE's (if there even is one for FF XIII) usually don't get the discount or bonus credit. I stuck with the regular ME 2 because of that (ended up being a $23 difference as a result).

These deals are even sweeter given that I used the $30 trade-in promo credits + ECA discount to reserve them initially. Factoring in the $10 credit that makes each game around $10.
 
I had this ordered months ago, and now that I notice they have release date delivery, I cancelled and re ordered to change.

Silly that you can change shipping speed to anything BUT release date delivery after the order is made.

yup, i imported that sucker...:lol:
 
Ugh, pretty sure US is getting a SE/CE since Europe and Japan are getting one. I'm gonna get this one anyway, but cancel it if a CE version is announced.

That's good to know. That may come into play as I'll be out of the country soon.
Too bad there's no subs, I don't think I can learn Japanese in the time it takes to ship.

Even if you don't know Japanese, the game itself is not very hard to undestand. If you've played an JRPG before, you can pretty much get the hang of it easily. The only part that you WILL be lost on is the story...

:lol: But that's the most important part of a Final Fantasy game. I'll just wait, thanks.
 
Now I'm wondering if I should keep my play-asia pre-order. I'm in Japan, so play-asia would get me the game faster, but I could get release date delivery to my address in America and have someone ship it to me. I don't know what to do...
 
[quote name='anthony0187']i want to preorder now but im not sure what the differences will be between the ps3 and 360.[/QUOTE]

only thing I keep seeing people reference is how many disks each system will use. graphics and such, that remains to be seen. haven't heard any other differences
 
I would say lock in a pre-order for BOTH, now, if you're on the fence. Cancel one closer to release(or both, if you're really unsure of the differences or the game itself). Better to make sure you get the 3$ price cut and video game credit now than to mull over the decision to miss out. You can always cancel by simply going into your orders and clicking a couple of times, no e-mails or phone calls, amazon is easy.

No, there is a confirmed difference between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions for video and audio too. Square Enix confirmed that the Xbox 360 version will have compressed video and audio, while PS3 will have lossless audio and 1080p cutscenes.

I will say that the PS3 has almost no load times whatsoever with no mandatory installs. Seems like the game utilizes an on-the-fly install method to reduce the very little loading (like maybe a total of 15 seconds of load time in hours of play) in the game.

this sounds like Tales of Vesperia for PS3

was going to buy it for 360 but then the ps3 version was announced.
More content, story plotholes filled, combat i think and i forgot about the underage girl with pirate clothes...a little pirate girl!

i really want it for ps3 but i have to import it.
too much money :cry:
not to mention no english whatsoever, all japanese.

unlike cheapy, i dont understand moonspeak.
 
I already had this pre-ordered back in Nov. when I got free prime and used my discover card for the $10 off $50. This brings my total down to $36.99 with release date shipping!
 
Not to be a fanboy at all, but wasn't this game originally designed for the PS3 anyway + 1-disc (vs multi-disc 360 version) + Sony owns around 8 or 9% of squaresoft for them to not let FF13 fall victim to the PS3 getting inferior version of multiplay. Enough reasons IMO.

anyways, just ordered this for ps3....really hope they don't announce a collector's edition.

sony owns 8% of squaresoft? it's square enix and been that for a while and whered you get the numbers? i agree though it was designed for ps3 but the rest sounds like you made it up :whistle2:|
 
Thanks OP, in for one for PS3. Got spoiled with my single-disc RPGs and I don't have enough games for my PS3 as it is.
 
I'm still holding off the trigger in fear of a C.E. announcement or exclusive content anywhere. I hate that crap, but for FFXIII I'd bite the bullet. Otherwise, I'm in for 1. Thanks OP.
 
Might as well place the order, though I'll likely cancel it once a CE rolls around.

Anyone know if I can get the coupon twice if I order both versions in the same order? Or would I need to make two separate orders.
 
One disc vs four discs, i'll go with one disc... With four discs, not only you have to change discs, but what if one of the discs got scratched or lost? Eh, too much trouble... Not to mention the blu-ray version has uncompressed sounds. Hmmm, pre-ordering the PS3 version, thanks!

^ this. There's almost definately going to be a CE here, so no sense in jumping in too early.
 
In Japan, there was a FFXIII PS3, is there ever a CE?

I hope there's a CE too, but it all depends how much and what i'm getting... If i like the characters, i probably buy additional art works, toys, hell, even the energy drinks, lol.

Final Fantasy 12 had one:

It should be noted, not released in Japan.
 
Sweet, had both the 360 and PS3 on preorder from the $10 discover deal.

I assume the PS3 version will be better, but waiting for the date to draw near before deciding.
 
In the PS3 version.

It sucks that this went multiplat. S-E could have probably made this game look much better if it was PS3 only... oh well, at least they used a neutral development platform. I wonder if they'll cheap out on the case with 360 version, like they did with Lost Odyssey in the US.
 
Mutli-disc RPGs are awesome; you can lend the game to three other people and all still play at the same time!

they built it for the ps3 and dumbed it down for the xbox.... no worries

How? The game was practically done when they decided. I'm sure the art and everything has been done for months/years.

That's Cheapy's referral link and *you* get free use of this site out of it...

Now scuttle off, you ingrate.

i don't think anyone was being negative about the referral link. its a good question and one i'd like to know as well; not because i refuse to click on it or disapprove, just "because".
 
[quote name='formerroadie']they built it for the ps3 and dumbed it down for the xbox.... no worries[/QUOTE]

Exactly. The Crystal Tools engine was designed for the PS3 initially. Plus its much easier to port from PS3 to 360.
