Hmm, I'm not sure how they did it for people that preordered ME3. I think that was the first thing they let people preorder. I'm sure it'll just be available for download once it's actually released. I kinda doubt they'd bother with sending out vouchers that you redeem, the store will just know you've already…

At least this one isn't $60, is concise, and is structured with the intent of players going through its entirety in one sitting (similar to a movie). It's a wonderful break from the other games out there right now.

They don't have to interfere if you don't want them to. You can always try to ditch people, or let them go ahead. That said...from what I found, if you lag behind, most people think you're having trouble of some sort and will go out of their way to "help" you out.

For a long time it tended to be roughly 5pm, CST, but lately it's been later. I was thinking the past few weeks that the Vita content releases may have complicated things with getting the update out, but who knows. It's just easier for them to not have a set time, but rather a specific day. Then it's much harder…

My main mistake going into Journey was having expectations for what I was about to experience. Being any more specific than that would be "spoiler" in a sense, so I'll stop there.

Shame they haven't told us when we can get all these goodies.

I'm guessing they're probably empty.

Thankfully, they aren't going to scratch that screen even with claws.

After not playing the game for a few months, I finally decided to make it my goal to finish up Xenoblade over the weekend. I didn't end up making it - being gone all of Sunday didn't help - but I made some good progress, and think I'm getting close. I won't get into specifics, since I don't want to risk spoilers,…

I played through the demo back when the game was releasing and it just didn't hook me.

I just picked up a preorder from GameStop, pretty much solely because I wanted the preorder bonuses. It probably won't ship for a few days, but I'm in no huge rush to play it. Regardless, I'm looking forward to checking it out :)

Francis is just a character of his, they're all staged ;)

Basch was actually originally intended to be the main character and Vaan didn't exist, but then they created Vaan and Penelo and injected them into the story. I believe the reasoning was that players would better relate to them? I don't remember exactly, but I do remember Basch originally being the main char :P

I believe they're there so that it's a lot tougher for thieves to open the package and slide the disc out undetected in a store. Without them, you can just slice the stickers along the edge and open it up quickly, instead of needing the sticker to be off so you can flip the flaps back and get it open.

I loved XII.

Not much to be brought...those are probably the safest choices out there ;)

I will never get tired of the XIII battle theme. I liked the XIII-2 one as well, or at least the one I thought was the battle theme....it's not used for for the vast majority of the game :/

Yeah, I need to do that. I only use the healer now if I want to manually focus on other things while getting a bit of support healing. My roles are also reversed for Serah/Noel...I'd been using Serah for any SYN work, and Noel for SAB stuff. Now that I have Serah's SAB maxed, and Noels SYN maxed, it's extremely…

I was glad to see a much more clear-defined benefit to 5-starring things this time around. It was worth it in XIII, but the item drop bonus in this one is a huge boon compared to not getting it.

Hmm, I renamed them so I don't remember the actual names for 2 of them, but one was the Golden/Yellow Sentinels with the loop head from Archylte Steppe - Year Unknown. The Ravager was a lightning bomb, but he was only going to be a stopgap since he maxed at 20, just had high magic. The healer was a white chocobo. …
