THE FUCKING MUSIC PARTY WITH THE OLD MEN IS FOR HARD NIGGERS ONLY

I just spent three hours on the phone with the Namco store trying to get my payment method changed (my bank switched my credit card number without warning) and it did not go well at all. Digital River handles the store and they're clearly the worst site on the internet. There is apparently no way to change a pre-order's payment method without ordering a brand new copy, which is difficult when the stupid thing is sold out.

I've talked to several techs and supervisors and I still can't get anyone to confirm anything in an email but I supposedly have an open ticket with a payment change request. "Please wait 24-72 business hours for a response!" From what I've read on other sites, the response will probably be "kill yourself," if they respond at all.

So I throw myself at the mercy of TNL. If my order is rejected due to bad payment information, would anyone be willing to sell an unwanted copy to me? You can probably gouge someone else on Ebay but you'll miss out on my undying love!

I'm surprised you got THAT far. I tried to simply ask them why the hell the Wizard Edition was up on their site at all if you can't order it (before the restock). I was greeted with "We have no idea what you're talking about! Ask Namco." Namco sent it right back to them. AGH.

This game will not excite anyone who is done with Japanese style RPGs. It just looks to be a very good one.

I'm still sad I missed the deluxe version. This looks like it could potentially be the first JRPG I'd consider playing enough to actually finish in a very long time.

Shape-shifting raccoons with magical scrotums? What's not to like!

OG here. I like Kiki's better, though.

Back on topic, IF I ever play this game it'll be after you fellas finish it and I read your feedback. And then only after it's reduced in price. I'm kinda over JRPGs and, like Opaque has been saying, its appeal has mainly been the Ghibli art.

i actually really like Cat Returns, it's just my least favorite ghibli film besides Grave of the Fireflies, The Yamadas, and Earthsea, none of which are even bad

Give me back my rep.

What you just said here doesn't compute.

I agree about the others, but Grave of the Fireflies? I don't think I've ever seen such an effective movie about the horrors of war. I spend two thirds of it biting my bottom lip so I don't cry.
