Should have mine today or monday from Gamestop - heroes Need to dust off the PS4!

RedXIV

Anyone else chuckle at the sass coming from RedXIII in that trailer?

God I hope they keep the relationship between Barret and RedXIII as much as they can. It was sort of alluded to in the game originally that they give each other crap but would love to see that sort of dynamic kept

Probably the only part of the script I liked

Just off chat with square enix asking why I've no tracking number to see where my delivery is and everyone else seems to have one.

Well we will see how it works but there is an element of restraint in FFVII which was taken from Glory of Heracles 3 that worked really well in the original. Just hoping they don't squander that build up for fan service.

TBH this is one thing that's concerning me about the remake as well (and I'm someone who's generally very hyped for it). There were a lot of clues about Sephiroth in the opening parts of the game but no big in your face reveal until a fair bit later on. I'm a little concerned about Midgar being turned into a full game in general as well, I'm really struggling to see how they could get anything close to full length without a lot of filler. I'd be happy if it ends up being 20 odd hours with any filler being optional.

Anyone getting delivery from Royal Mail, it says handed off to delivery partner. Link brings me to An Post who don't have an update. Any rough idea how long it took for An Post to show info?

I actually like the idea of Midgar being turned into a full game. The game was meant to be set in a steampunk city entirely in original pitches and it shows as it's by far the most realized and tightest part of the whole game. It's a wonderful setting, full of character and life and I wish I could have spent more time in it. The game for me never gets as good once you leave midgar, although I enjoyed some of the junon sections.

When I first played the game I thought the whole game would be set in midgar and then was very disappointed when I couldn't go back. I also remember my biggest disappointment in the game was the return to midgar later on which was just a dungeon as I was so looking forward to returning there. So I'm well up for an expanded midgar setting and there's loads of potential there to stretch it out.

Probably the only place that still has stock is GameStop, though as usual they are the most expensive.

Would it be worth ordering from Amazon for delivery next Friday? I never pre-order games so have been stung by this unfortunately.

No probably not because of amazon delaying non essential goods at the moment.The only other option in gamestop really

As of yesterday they are still going with the April 10th delivery date, I am hoping they might ship it early like they did with Persona Royal last week.

Using Parcel Motel might get you it a few days earlier as well if they do move up the release date.

Do you guys think Gamestop might deliver earlier or by the 10th? Willing to pay the bit extra for a physical copy.

Haven't purchased a copy yet, will I potentially be in that batch being delivered if I buy today?

Id say go for it but do it quick because they usually dispatch at around 2 even if your not in the initial batch youll still have it by Wednesday.

Wouldn't say they shipped P5R early, they didn't ship my copy until Wednesday, the day after release.

Fingers crossed for ya buddy.

Hopefully you get it today or tomorrow to give me a positive timeline for when mine might arrive!

30 hours seems decent enough. Longer than I like my games to be usually.

That's pretty promising actually,maybe means the main story and side quests could have alot of love and care put into them
