Still not available to buy.

That video just made me want it more.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah sousuke, I was sweating it out when I kept refreshing the page and nothing happened.

Dag told me you have to go to the main page and it'll be listed as a pre-order item. Click on the pre-order button and then it'll go into your shopping cart.

Got mine pre-ordered. Glad they decided to allow for more orders as I was kind of bummed out that I'd missed it the first time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've got a pending charge on my credit card and I haven't gotten an email if it's been cancelled or not. I'm hoping I got lucky and they're just really shit at shipping things out.

How ya doing, buddy?

More like ebay scalpers placed orders in mass and are now selling it for 300 to 400 bucks.

My order got fucking cancelled. I called up Digital River to see if I could get it put back in place but no dice. They fucked up and I get 20% off anything else they sell. Why should I trust that potential discount product to ever ship when they can't do this properly? I really hope Namco how much they fucked up with this and print more copies of the Wizard's Edition. I'm so mad I might just not buy the game period until I get what I want.

How ya doing, buddy?

20% ?

$20 ?

whatever

point is the only time i'll even spend it is when they open up orders for the wizard's edition again and if it won't go towards that then nope fuck their shitty business practice of enticing and goading victims of their shitty store into giving them any money

you may think its an over-reaction but if they don't fix this then complaints should be lodged against them at the better business bureau

fucking bullshit

i mad

I was speaking idiomatically.

You know what I'm angry enough to take it a step further.

I will no longer be buying any Namco Bandai games. At the least not unless they become super cheap and second hand that the publisher gets zero dollars of my money. And that sucks because I hate fucking over the developers this way but I am this mad.

So here are the game franchises that I was interested in or have supported in the past that will receive no more future funding from me as a vote of confidence to make more titles or any title published by Namco Bandai: Ace Combat, Tales of, .hack, Klonoa (truly heartbreaking), Katamari Damacy, Soulcalibur, The Idolmaster (like it would ever make it over here but hey you never know), Project X Zone, various One Piece games, Dark Souls, and potentially the next Super Smash Bros.


Also fuck any pre-order-only DLC bullshit that Namco Bandai is pulling. Exclusive DLC should be fucking illegal. It's entirely anti-consumer.


Here's what Namco Bandai would like you to believe:

I am having none of it and neither is Percy.



What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Also here's a petition to sign on change.org.

I signed it and put my words and my name out in public.

Quote:

Level-5 and Studio Ghibli have made a beautiful game with Ni No Kuni and I tried my best to experience their creation in the best way possible by ordering the Wizard's Edition. Unfortunately Namco Bandai and Digital River have failed in every way of letting me experience this game in full.

I hate doing this but unless Namco Bandai rectifies this I will never buy any game published from them ever again first-hand be it from an online store, brick and mortar pre-order/regular sale, or digital download. I will only buy their games second-hand so that not a red cent ever reaches them. I only wish I could send money directly to the developers as thanks for such a lovely game bypassing such a terrible publisher.

And to Digital River who allowed ebay scalpers to get 200 copies of the game while the rest of us go without, who did not keep track of their stock and gave false hope to us with a second pre-order session, and who then gave out a way to bypass both pre-order systems that had no way of checking who might be ordering I say good day to ever doing business with you again. Beyond potentially getting the Wizard's Edition you are dead to me Digital River. From your terrible customer support to your terrible store: never again.

Also, for those that would like to have the book on something other than your TV screen when playing the game someone put book online.

FELIPE NO

Yes, I know. But at least change.org is slightly better than the old way of doing it. Feel free to ignore it if that's how you feel. I figure it can't hurt.

How ya doing, buddy?

If you're talking about PlayCanada then I am very aware. They played the Digital River's shitty online ordering system back in the summer by placing 200+ individual orders. It's complete horseshit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If they were truly sorry they'd offer a free download code on PSN or something as well. This 400 page spoiler-free guide is as easily printable for Namco Bandai as it is for them to give Sony some extra cash to appease fans with some form of the game. They have fucked up that badly. They still aren't off my shit list. You can talk me down if you'd like and I'm glad they made some sort of formal apology but it just isn't quite enough in my opinion. The $20 voucher is still dangling there like some sort of worm on a hook for wronged consumers to give Namco Bandai and Digital River money they do not deserve. If they actually gave a shit they would bite this bullet as I've described if it's actually not within their power to make more Wizard Edition packages.

Yup, I don't care anymore and don't want to wait for Namco Bandai to correct this shit. Just ordered a second-hand copy from some ebay friend from Maine for 63 bucks including free shipping expecting to get here by February 1st at the latest.

Sorry Level-5 and Studio Ghibli. I'd really like to give you money directly but your publisher is complete trash and deserves nothing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Skills is just saying how by giving out free guides and not the game itself plus other bonuses like maybe all the dlc plus who knows what else groveling things that might have gotten us to trust Namco Bandai again they're just making it so people will definitely want to buy a copy from them. The 20 dollar coupon is even worse since it's them asking you to buy from their shit store once more.

So sure you could look at it as outwitting the customer in both scenarios which is why if you're in this situation and must have the game you really ought to buy second-hand (at a reasonable price) so they don't get any further money. Or just rent the game like Taco.

At the end of the day I miss the art, the music, and the book that would have come with the Wizard's Edition the most. The plush doll isn't exactly the greatest thing and while I'd love a color manual (this shouldn't even be a bonus in 2013 come on guys) and the coin is sorta neat it's just stuff. The book is the neatest thing out of all this and from what I understand came standard with the game in Japan or was at least in large supply. However, I do have scans of the book and bar that the book is in the game. It's just really disappointing that this even happened at all.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

so i'm still waiting for my ebay copy

how are you guys enjoying the game?

is it game of the year?

Spoiler:

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I probably should check on my ebay purchase

beginning to think i got swindled

that's like a reoccurring theme with this game for me
