[PS2] Final Fantasy XII

Quote:

online stores are going to charge a stupid amount

Yesasia selling Squall figure for $45 CDN. God >_>

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've seen the Advent children ones selling for $20 USD at various EB/Gamestops, however they don't have the same marketing going on here. This was in NYC last September 2005, if I remember. But I'm not all that for any AC figs, besides Clouds Fenrir which sells at Toys R Us for $70 CDN. Can we say Ripoff?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

SOLDIER, you may fap over stay updated with Kotobukiya's toy releases on this site.

Most amazing jew boots

I'll have a look at the Japanese Kotobukiya site, since this is information for the NA releases. Also, I really can't care less for gasphon, I don't like the whole idea of trading with friends with puny tiny things. If I have a figure of something, I prefer for it to be reasonably big and have details that make it display case worthy SEE: models and 1/6 figures.

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

Simo, if you haven't gotten a chance to take a look at the casing with your real eyes (which I doubt so), it's a VERY nice case to touch and hold. Check out your local EB/Gamestop and they might have some on display like mine did. I mean, this sounds pretty sad and pathetic, yet none-the-less expectable from a fan boy such as myself, but knowing that you'll be holding the case with the game in 24 some days just makes me go, "okay then!".

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, the pictures posted back a few pages were basically crystal clear. It's almost like a transmission from planet Mars hehehe.

"'F-I-N-A-L F-A-N-T-A-S-Y X-I-I' What does that mean?"

"I don't know...we will find out in 24 days, just on a hunch"

4 years now?

4 YEARS? I think I only first knew anything about this maybe late 2004, beginning of 2005 with the first few scans up on the RPG forum, and first seeing Vaan and Ashe, I was like...oh, another FFX or something. Man, has it been that long?

When did you first learn about the game? Unless you were just hyped right after playing FFXI or something.

How ya doing, buddy?

Quote:

According to the information so far it'll be available in 6 different covers with an 100 page artbook both packaged in a folio type folder similiar to their past LE guides

WAAAAA! Must get! 6 different covers? I guess I want the one that matches the LE cover for the game.

FELIPE NO

Six covers eh? Doesn't look like the Judge will be included. ;___;

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Simo, that's pretty cool that you were already looking forwards to XII after beating X. You remind of a high school friend that beat X like the first week it came out, then he said that there won't be another great FF until XII. I asked about why not XI, which he simply replied that it's MMORPG, something he wasn't looking forward to, so fast forward 4 year later, here we are!

I'm pretty hyped.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay shit, now you've made me want to play NOW. But I must wait, patiently. That is the right way. Or else I'll fail my two midterms coming up!

How ya doing, buddy?

Dude! So they have a SKU for the LE guide then? better make my reservation!

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

Pretty decent actually aside from the corny voiceover.

LOL I like how a quarter of the commercial is basically the opening CG, but hey, that's still a great opening scene. They needed the late-Robert Frost for that. He does it so well, that "elderly" voice.

I found much of VP2 to be "dungeon-story-town dungeon-story-town dungeon-story-town" and from what I'm hearing, FFXII, (besides plenty of other RPGS out there), is also following the same pattern. I guess it's to be expected right? I really hope it doesn't fall into a pretty much a pattern of FFX (which was enjoyable, but felt more of a drag at some points) of constantly driving forward without much time of a "breather". I guess what I mean for a breather are things that stray away from the main story line that you can do, which may or may not be side quests. Basically what I'm trying to get at is interactivity with the environment, especially from the short game play footage I saw with Vaan in the first city.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So I was checking out some stuff at the mall, and I saw some dude walk up to the counter at EBG with the display case of the collectors edition of FFXII, along with FF Origins wanting to buy it. That made me go .

Man oh man, if the clerk actually wiped out the actual game for that, I'd probably just die right there.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yes that's the same mall. Actually thinking about it now I really didn't need to, since I'm guessing the guide is coming out beforehand, and picking the game and the guide up at the same point is moot. I originally thought the guide would be released the same day as the game, but oh well, it's the nearest EB from my house.

I want that armor, or at least a 1/6 figure of it, along with Lenneth Valkyrie.

FELIPE NO

Fortunately Koto has you covered for both.

Whoa son, links please. 1/6 Lenneth, oh my god.

Quote:

Yeah but remember you also get 20% off the guide if you buy the game the same day unless there's some other promotion with it.

Actually you don't need to buy the game and the guide the same day. I've bought the Okami walkthrough guide 1 week after, but I brought my receipt and preorder slip to prove my purchase.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

So all this was part of the FFXII day in NYC right?

Excellent, finally an FF that makes you use more than 2 brain cells (besides FFIV hard type, and perhaps a few fights in VI)!

How ya doing, buddy?

Haha, actually getting just the LE case for some people who just can't wait. :stares of LE box alll day:.

What is it now, 16 days?

However, that won't be the Collectors Edition, would it, which the regular edition does not come with the tin case.

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

days...1 week...168 hours etc etc. Cannot fucking wait!

The LE guide has been shipping today too to online preorders and since I'll be out near my local EB on Wednesday I'm hoping they'll have them in-stock so I can pick my copy up.

Ditto and ditto. I was, in a way, expecting a call from them today. Quite impatient, I am.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Finally! It looks like the Canadian EB Games now have a SKU for it, and I just rang them up and told them to change my preorder from the regular walkthrough guide to the LE guide.

FELIPE NO

Soapy, yes, why are you choosing Walmart? Are they the only store near your area that will have the game for sale*, so no EB Games/ Gamestop?

*Given that they will have it come the 31st.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Guys, I checked up the BEST BUY flyer today for next weeks sales. It looks like the Canadian Best Buys are having the regular game selling at $49.99 CDN for a 3 day price (October 31st to November 2nd only), and to top it off, they're giving away free ART BOOKs, while supplies last. The webcode on the flyer is 10081022.



EDIT: Interesting that the webcode on the website is "10075779" instead of the flyers that I have in my hand.
