    " it lands on 2nd December on the eShop and as a physical retail release. "
    SMTIV Apocalypse creeped up on me, getting excited! I ordered from Amazon but Zavvi is showing up as the cheapest.

    Looking forward to 7th Dragon but it coming out at a bad time and I still have a load of 3DS RPG's to play so I might give it a month or two before I pick it up.

    When are reviews out for FF XV?
    Tempted to dip my toe into a JRPG again.
    Other than the souls games, I've not played one since Persona 4 on the vita.

    Review Embargo lifts today.
    Not sure if review copies were sent out however.
    As it's a monster of a game i'd say morel likely towards the latter end of the week.

    I think you go into orders and there's a choice of cancel order or try again / pay with another card. AFAIK it won't try more than once.

    They keep trying, think you have 72 hours before they cancel the order.

    Only two reviews I've read are EG and IGN.

    Ign gave it an 8 but tbh both reviews really put me off with the game seemingly just petering out into linearity on the second half.

    These games should get.more.open.as they progress, not less.

    Lack of overarching story also sounds disappointing.

    Couldn't stand 13 so might hold off til cheaper.

    Forgive the formating, copying from my phone. Saw this earlier. Square enix riding the popularity of ffxv all the way to the bank:

    Final Fantasy XV has been finally released. Through thick and thin, FF XV is after all a great game with epic moments that contains the essence of the saga. It’s not perfect, but in overall is a recommended experience.
    2017 will be the 30th anniversary for Final Fantasy and Square Enix will celebrate the milestone with the following items:
    Final Fantasy releases in 2017 to celebrate the anniversary: Square will launch Final Fantasy VII Remake (first episode) and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age as main games to celebrate the Final Fantasy’s birthday.
    Final Fantasy XIII trilogy is coming to PS4 during the next year. The bundle will include Final Fantasy XIII, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns on separate discs to be enjoined in 1080p and 60fps.
    Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary Collection.
    This compilation will include Final Fantasy I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX and it will be released on PS4 and PS Vita in a single disc/card. It will include two versions of Final Fantasy I to VI: original versions from NES/SNES and modern ports (mostly mobile ports). FF VII to XI will be based only in newest ports. Final Fantasy II and III from NES will receive an official English translation (first time). Games will be based on Japanese versions, therefore we will be able to play parts that were cut out when games were released overseas. Graphical censorship included in some titles when they were released outside Japan will remain. The collection will have a built-in art gallery and a sound test menu to play songs from games included.
    Just for the record: this compilation will include just main Final Fantasy titles (I to IX).
    1

    There will be three versions for the Final Fantasy collection:
    1. Regular version: games and poster.
    2. Collector’s Edition: Games, poster, art book, 8-bit Black Mage keychain, Chocobo plush and two discs with a selection of songs chosen by Nobuo Uematsu.
    3. Crystal Complete Edition. It will be only available in limited quantities in the Square Enix’s website for PS4. Crystal Complete Edition will include:
    – Games: Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary Collection titles (FF I to IX), Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, Final Fantasy XIII Trilogy, Final Fantasy XV (and all DLC), Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (including all expansions + a 3 month subscription). Special items for Final Fantasy XI Mobile and Final Fantasy XIV will be included as well.
    – Physical items: all the content included in the Collector’s Edition, two extra discs for the soundtrack, a crystal necklace, a Moogle plush, a Black Mage statue, all three Final Fantasy Trading Card Game starter decks, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV. Everything will be packed in a luxury chest decorated with the Final Fantasy logo.
    Just to clarify: these plans just apply to North America, we don’t know yet about other regions.
    Season Pass:
    – Final Fantasy I, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions and Chrono Trigger could be released on Steam before the end of 2017.
    – Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy XV are coming to PC, but likely not until early-mid 2018.
    Thanks to our source for this tasty information about Final Fantasy.

    Gundam Breaker 3 is another good game to pick up, it is a aRPG though compared to tactics base, it has one of the deepest customization systems I have seen in a game.

    Never really liked Blue Dragon. There were too many hidden collectives and I'm guessing the game is a lot more fun if you ignore them. I must try it again.

    Lost Odyssey I didn't get on with at all until I was forced to review it so had to finish. Ended up enjoying it in the end but the start is a horrible slog and the main mechanic of switch weapons mid battle is never explained. Once I figured it out it was a lot smoother.

    My advice is to play a better game. It's very much a mid to bottom tier jrpg with the odd exceptionally well written short story which make the actual story seem laughable.

    As for the main mechanic basically you can swap weapons during your turn with no penalty so pick a weapon with the right elements or properties and hack away.
