level-5 + ghibli (Ni No Kuni)

[Compass]

Yes. All other editions are 100% worthless.

[Finch]

It's only for wizards.

[epmode]

My order hasn't been officially canceled yet, in spite of that email. I guess I'll try calling anyway.

edit: that's the same place I called earlier.

Apparently my whole problem was my bank thinking it was a fraud charge. Which is pretty random, but whooops!

[dave is ok]

I ordered the special edition and it came today. Played it for about an hour, which was 90% cartoons (wtfisthisshit) and the other 10% was a Harry Potter ripoff so blatant Im surprised no one was sued. They changed Dobbys name to Drobby or something. I called Namco and they don't take returns so I just threw the fucking thing out. JRPGs, never again

[A Robot Bit Me]

O, u.

[epmode]

OK, so Namco was no help. BUT! I called my bank and explained the situation. They said that they can keep my old card active for another week. So as long as Namco actually ships my copy soon, the charge should go through. omgomgomg

[A Robot Bit Me]

I played through the first dungeon. I, uh... I don't know about this one. Enemies that haven't posed a threat in a few levels still beeline at me, forcing fights in which I lose no HP every ten seconds. I wish someone at Level 5 played Earthbound.

It sure does look and sound great, though, and the monster-switching mechanic seems like it might have teeth.

Actually I hear from a number of reviews that the game gets pretty tough. Just from reading though.

The reviews for this have been stellar, so I'll probably end up owning this at some point. I haven't played through a JRPG in a while

[soup or man]

Played for about 10 hours straight today. Longest gaming session I've had in quite a while.
