I'm a moron for ordering this on Amazon and THINKING i would have gotten it yesterday. Lame.

I feel ya, having to order ours from the UK to ship to Australia. will take about 2 weeks T________T

Just picked it up tonight. Can't wait to play

Why no PC release?

Hopefully it'll come later for PC, Capcom have released most of there latest games for PC, just always a few months down the line.

What an awesome game. It has its flaws for sure and it doesn't hold your hand and guide you so I can imagine a lot of players getting bored or confused with what they have to do. You take on quests and some are main quests that progress the story but they aren't stated as main so it encourages exploration.

Flaws are that it has bad performance in certain places, audio cutting off for a split second during intense fights and my favourite, falling through the floor into the white void. Also the game makes you revisit the same areas far too frequently. It would have been better if they spaced it out more.

Regardless of these flaws the game is still awesome. I can't think of many games that let me climb a monster while my teammates knock it off a huge spiral staircase and then it falls to its death and takes the impact with me on it.

The game can really push you though. I went out to hunt the griffon that flew away to some far away structure and it took me like an hour to reach it. My team was near death and my main pawn fell to her death. Thankfully a guy I helped earlier came out of nowhere and used the item I gave him to destroy it.

What's cool is that you can make a fake duplicate of quest items in case you want to keep the powerful item for yourself. Good thing I didn't do that

Rumour has it, if you play as a female the game is different. Monsters behave differently and it's meant to be easier or something? Strange if it's true.

My companion is called "Serah" on PS3. Take good care of her for me :>





Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the pawn system is so useful. Whoever used my pawn taught her a lot about the quests I hadn't done yet. I had to get this magic tome back from a thief and he challenged me to a fight. Doing so would aggro all the other thieves. Suddenly my pawn told me she knew where it was hidden and led me to it.

Another time I was completely lost and a pawn I hired picked up on that and literally ran ahead of me and led me to my destination.

-----------------

So I finished the main quest and there's just one thing on my mind. WTF. The story is...Japanese. It's just weird. It gets even weirder after you think you've finished the game. Also this game was clearly made for male gamers as the queen tries to get it on with my female character :S

Man, I really think this game deserves a bit more attention. I've been having a blast playing it since it came out. While it does have it's flaws, the reviews I've read seem a little unjust and in a lot of ways like the reviewer is complaining about actually having to try to play the game (what, there's aiming?)

What kind of classes has everyone been playing? I've been a strider but I keep hearing good things about assassin and was thinking about making that switch. I love raining arrows down on people though, tough debate.

I also started off as a Strider but I felt useless against smaller mobs so I switched to fighter as you can still latch on to big enemies and stab them. Besides you get some really cool weapons and armour after completing the main quest.

It also took me a while to figure out that if you max out say warrior class then you can switch to something similar and use perks that were unlocked in the warrior role. I saw a lvl 90 pawn that cost 1 million rift crystals and he had all these strength buff augments. Must do a lot of damage.

I've been playing this quite a bunch now. I am a level 21 soldier, and my pawn is a mage. This game is badass! It's so much fun, and just the behaviors of enemies is amazing. Like.. i was fighting this troll, i jumped on his back to smash his head and he just jumped in the air and landed on his back! With me still grabbing on to him! dealt me plenty of damage haha I encountered a Hypogriff this morning that wiped out a caravan and fled after i took one of its health bars away. Fought ghosts that are pretty scary. Bandits, hordes of bunnies, wolfs, holy smokes... so much.. and i have not really explored that much out of the initial area. I just like the feeling of exploring, getting better gear and fighting awesome enemies.

Plus, the game looks amazing. Really an awesome game. Got it on PS3. Anyone else playing it? Some cool stories? I have some other ones that i can share, but i would like to know if anybody else is enjoying this as much as i am.

Played through it five times and got pretty bored with it. The actual world isn't as big as it seems and the story is pretty short and not delivered very well. Regardless the combat and sharing pawns is its highlights.

Just be warned it's very easy to miss important quests that help explain the story. For example after fighting the hydra you should head back the way you came and you'll start a questline that takes you to Witchwood and helps you understand the meaning behind the character Selene.

You can hire my pawn if you want, called Kenshiro.
