    Hahahah, just realized my WE order was not really cancelled woooo!

    How could you tell? I see its in my order history page, but thats about it. No E-Mails about it yet.

    Right? I just want SOME confirmation. I did one day so I should get it tomorrow, I would assume. If it didn't ship today I'm gonna be mad, I want the book but I want to play the game way more :(

    From what im hearing from the NamcoBandai forums the people in charge of all that jazz are aware of this situation and should take 24-48 hours. Heres hoping.

    Called them myself just to check on it with all the cancellation stuff going on. The rep told me that since my order looks good (not cancelled, payment has gone through) I should get the shipment confirmation email by the end of today. Not sure how accurate that really will be, but I feel a little bit better about it now. The 24-48 hours is for people with cancelled orders.

    Alright, im just going to assume if I didn't get a cancelation E-Mail, it must have gone through fine..

    I got an email.
    thing is, I tried ordering the first time using an email address different from my Paypal address. So I gave that order up and started again.
    Then I got an email cancelling the FIRST order, which I had forgotten.

    But I did get an email about the second one.

    On the one hand, kinda bummed that EB offered no extra characters. Just a steelbook.

    On the other hand... sexy steelbook.

    Just be glad you even GOT it. The other forums are pretty lit up with pre-orders not getting them and I'll guarantee it's because the employees either stole or sold them.

    He does, it's just very very slight. You have to go out of your way to listen for it.


    And damn, if I knew the Wizard's Companion had that much detail to it, I would have pre-ordered the Wizard's Edition. It's the kind of nerdy textmagic that I could spend an entire day reading.

    Yeah, no doubt. I like my EB, not much skivvyness ever goes on here. Shit, one time I forgot about the preorder code for Disgaea 4, and they called me up to give it over the phone.

    I did find it a bit odd when the clerk said they were all sold out, they only got enough in to cover preorders (looked to be about 10 from what I peeked at when he opened the drawer). Or maybe not odd. I don't know, I had the initial feeling that this was going to be one of those games, you preorder it or you're shit out of luck getting it for less than $Texas. But every store is selling it, and it's up on PSN, so it must obviously be getting coverage. Guess it can go either way whether this becomes mainstream or one of the super rares. ...Then again PSN would automatically exclude that. :P

    Yeah, I sort of noticed it a bit a little after I posted that. It is really, really slight though. Only comes out on a few words.

    And I definitely agree. Wish I had known about this in time to get the book. I would have paid 200 for the book alone, that it comes with even more stuff is icing on the cake.

    Oh fuck yeah I would have loved that book. Shit, sell it separately, I don't even want any of the other goodies.

    That book is also apparently the reason we never could get the DS version, because it relied on it, unlike the PS3 that has it in game. Still, it would have been cool as hell to be able to play the game the "real" way as intended.

    The little chicken knight in the demo is called "Marr Mite", and in the second scenario when it's evolved it's called "Veggie Mite". This game is punny as shit.

    Okay well I love puns far too much and want to see them for the first time myself so I'm on blackout now.

    I mean you guys think I like difficult games a lot oh no, oh no. No if you compare it to how much joy I get from terrible puns its like comparing a fine meal to the rapture. My bad taste knows no bounds. I do, in fact, actively attempt to destroy any bounds I discover.

    So cyas in a few weeks.

    (PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.

    Not a gameplay spoiler so not that bad, but I think half the fun of this game is those lil winks they've decided to put in (times two by the - to me at least - "Britishism's" - ).

    And there really needs to be an OST here. I mean for the first damn "zone" that forest music is pretty epic.

    Awesome little detail no.1: Walking down stairs. It's just animated so damn well. Not only did they take care to make sure it actually looks natural, if you stop between steps, there's a special animation of Oliver having his feet on two steps.

    Awesome little detail no.2: Run into and circle around Drippy and you can knock him off his feet. And sometimes he'll say "Lay off, man!".

    After the first dungeon you'll actually get a menu option that will keep track of dungeons (among other things) and it has a chest tracker. If there are blue/purple/green chests, it'll say 00/?? and if there aren't any it'll just have a --

    You'll have to keep track of the towns yourself, though, I think.

    This game is the absolute best.

    And something a bit more of substance, if anyone has done Request 44, Hide and Seek
    Where is the third kid? I found the one in the town square, and the one up the stairs by the quest shop, but cannot find number 3.

    Call up your bank or CC company or whoever and find out if the charge has come through, that's the best way to tell right now if they haven't sent an e-mail. There's a decent chance you'll never get told it shipped, but if the money has gone through already then you should be in the clear.

    You're probably good then, even pending would have been a good sign because a lot of people have had it outright canceled apparently. Digital River is just an amazingly bad company from what I've heard. This is my first experience so I was expecting the worst. They also run the Capcom store, and apparently they fucked up real bad with some extras or whatever for MvC3.

    Yeah, I wish I had known it was Digital River running this. Seems like they haven't improved from the SF4 launch, so in all likelihood they'll get shipped unsecured in boxes way too big without any packing materials.

    ok so a small tip.

    The back of the instruction booklet has a translation guide for the wizard text in game. Much easier than looking it up in the compendium every time.

    Apparently alot of the gold familiars will appear in the post game in various places. Not sure if all of them (like the DLC ones) do or not, but something to consider.
