    How crazy is that huh? So much time has passed since that very first trailer at (what was it?) E3 2006. It seemed as if we'd never get our hands on it. Nearly four years later, we finally get to play the fucking game. About damn time I say.
     
    Now the wait for Versus commences. :)

    WRONG!  The wait is on for Agito XIII this winter in Japan and then Versus XIII in Winter 2011 in Japan.  You missed a game.

    I just got an email from Amazon saying they shipped my copy. Hell yeah, I'm excited!  
     
    It should be a welcome break after 3 straight months of BioWare games. That reminds me, Awakening is releasing this month too, oh crap.

    I'm psyched because I liked the earlier ones and this one looks great from everything I've seen, but all the people being down on it are depressing me...

    Even if they don't have it on the shelves, you can just ask them to get it for you from the cart or from the back.
     
    Anyways, I may just have to get the 360 version at midnight tonight while waiting for the PS3 to get here from Amazon as its the only time I'll have to play the game until Spring Break starts.

    I remember waiting for FF XII and finally picking that up one day on the way back from school with my friends, them not understanding my excitement. Man what a disappointment. It just feels weird that the game is coming out tomorrow. I feel that i'm going to enjoy it much more since I absolutely loved FF X, but i'm not feeling too excited. That will probably change when it's in my hands however.
     
    I saw in the paper that Tesco will be doing a midnight launch. I'll pick it up tomorrow on the way to college. Then I should be going into central london on the way back to try and get it signed. Anyone else going to the launch event?

    You're not the only one. Hopefully I can get this game at midnight. I think GameStop is gonna rip me off there. I pre-ordered at the mall. The bad part is that the mall refuses to open at midnight. So I have to go to the closest Gamestop to the mall to pick it up at midnight. Problem is that the pre-order is at the mall.

    I think you should just wait until tomorrow then. If you have a copy preordered then you shouldn't have to worry about rushing there. It's really not worth the extra couple of hours you might be able to play to waste your preorder money, especially if you're just going to go to another gamestop to give them more money on top of the 5 dollars or however much you already paid. The only midnight launch I went to was for GTAIV and now I just find it really unappealing. You're going to be tired when you are playing it, and then you'll be real tired tomorrow when you play it then too. You should just sleep and pick it up in the morning when you'll be more refreshed and be able to appreciate it more.
     
    Also, pro tip for UK people: Both Sainsbury's and Asda are selling the game for roughly 35 quid, with Asda being marginally cheaper. It seems like the cheapest way to buy it if you want to pick it up in-store tomorrow.

    You have a point. I will be tired. But the minute I wake up, after I had my breakfast, I'm going to jump on that game. I want to be up and ready to play it. I don't want to drive down, pick it up, then drive back, and be tired just from the driving.

    I'm looking forward to the game finally coming out and people actually making their own opinions. Whether it's criticism or praise, it really irks me when people judge a game so thoroughly before having even played it.

    @ch13696: Then pick up some 'gamer fuel' lol. Wake up, have a good breakfast and a coffee. Pick up an energy drink or something while you're there or on the way back, and then just sit down for the rest of the day and get stuck in.

    I've really been going back and forth on this one. I wasn't really sure how I felt about it. A lot of people have been really down on the series these last couple of years. On some level, I understand why. It seems like XIII is going to be super cheesy and do nothing to further gameplay mechanics. But you know what I've realized? I like JRPGs dammit! 50 hours of Final Fantasy? Bring it on!!
