I pre-ordered it and got it launch day. Much of that came from the fact that I wanted the soundtrack CD that came with it, I'll admit. :D Still, I'm looking forward to giving it a go!

Got it launch day. I must admit, this game has made me smile with joy and excitement. I haven't felt that way in awhile (not that the games I buy are bad or don't make me happy, but there's something in this game that pulls my happiness to the surface).

It hasn't been released in Europe yet, but I'll get it probably in a couple of months, even importing if I have to.

Just got Bowser's Inside story and Xenogears and im still playing ME2

I'll be receiving it soon. I'm actually happy with the DS's first (last fiscal) quarter lineup this year, for being its final year of dominance.

I know what you mean. This is the first JRPG since most likely Tales of Vesperia that made me just this happy. 

The game is out already? Talk about lack of marketing.

No to both.  It's an utterly average JRPG that has oodles of lost potential.

1. I got it.

2. Swan song my ass. The DS is gonna have new and good releases for a whole year.

3. Why 999 isn't at all hyped is the REAL question.

See?  This man gets it.
