    I am very close to buying a PS3 just to play this game =_= I don't want to, I hate consoles, but I want to play this game so bad.

    I got it because I heard Level 5 was in the mix but I also enjoy Studio Ghiblis animations. I think Abhorsen has been mentioning wanting this for a while and DarkAztaroth posted nabbing a copy recently (I had actually forgot it was coming out up until that point so I'm glad he posted) anddecided to make a thread after I bought it myself and played it a bit ^_^.

    The game is a wonderful combination of everything I'd expect from both companies.

    Personally, if I didn't have a PS3 I probably would have gotten one to play this. A lot of things have impressed me about it, even some of the smaller aesthetic details they added in.

    I still have to wait till february for the europe release. I could cancel my order and go with a digital copy though, but for a game like this I really want the physical. SO DON'T SPOIL IT YET!!


    btw, what did the NA version get for the pre-order dlc? Europe is getting Griffy + Flutterby.

    I couldn't wait until it launched in Australia so I made a US psn account and bought some US psn cards and got it. It's downloading right now 2 hours left!, Can't freaking wait to play it.

    I promise not to spoil anything and will only comment on things asked or general impressions ^_^.

    I think if NA folks preorder, they get the Griffy familiar from Amazon. Wizard's Edition has the golden drongo and mite DLCs.

    The first one I ever saw was Princess Mononoke; I still haven't seen a number of them yet though.
    Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

    Princess Mononoke is my favorite of the Ghibli films.

    I have a touch of ocd, where I can't put down one until I finish it. Before ps3 I barely ever finished games. And, to be fair, most of the ones I platinumed were like a 3/10 difficulty lol. The walking dead for example, you got a platinum just for playing it. 1/10.

    Also, totoro is my favorite :3

    Is there ever any kind of fast travel system? I'm not too far in, just outside the temple of trials in the desert but theres some sidequests I wanna do to level up first.

    Ok then I'm gonna prolly hold out for that.

    Finished the trials with little difficulty anyway. Although I like the game, some is a bit frustrating.

    Wouldn't be a proper flipping adventure if you didn't have to travel a bit, now would it? =P

    I prefer the grind kinda haha. It's taking me back to my maple story days quite a bit when I play it that way. But this has a goal and a realistic finish line

    what's your psn? I'm like 99% sure I added you but I can't remember who you are lol.

    Also, just got to level 25

    Haha that's exactly how I am. Between the 12 different possibilities, someone is always just about to level :P

    The story was a little weak to me, but just a little. I felt like it was kinda predictable but didn't feel uninterested or cheated. I also really liked the gameplay and the presentation of the story was beautiful. There were also some twists at the end that made it come together and hold my interest. Id agree with 8/10.

    I have everything that I'm able to get at this point. I'm going to make this game my first platinum xD

    btw, Which familiers do you guys use? I'm definitely a fan of Puss in Boats. It's kind of OP once you max out each tier. He puts Mite to shame which already got a overall decent stat. I also use a dinoceros, but that's when I'm Toko farming, cause one hits the damn thing.

    I think this is a solid game to get a plat for. ^_^

    Oliver: Puss in Boats, Catastroceros, Soldier Bumbler
    Esther: Fluorongo, Aye-Aye Catcher, Hot-Air Balloonatic
    Swaine: Clinketyclank DX, Steam-Man, Elegantiger

    Puss in Boats is pure badass the way it fights + its' idle and walking animations. Definitely my favorite Familiar as of now.
