I'm waiting :D Is traveling from the US to Europe, ATM ;)

So has anyone seen this at retail stores, or is online the only way to purchase this game?

I Got it off Amazon. I have yet to see it in a store.

I was so psyched for this game, but the reports of freezing issues scared me away.

But as it sounds more and more like any issues might be overblown, I'm thinking I'll go ahead and bite.

This is bullshit. I hate how reviewers give generic cutscened filled Jrpgs of today 8s or even 9s, yet a game that tries to pull off a retro move, and seems to do a good job at it gets a freaking 5s and 6s.

They said that this is only on pirated games. My copy is working fine.

im looking for that game.

They have it at Amazon for 27.49

Which actually means the game seems to be going up in price over the past week... It was down to 20 bucks, then I picked it up for 23 or something, and now it's gone up again.

Maybe it's selling better than expected?

At six hours in, I have to say my complaints have been shrinking with every new town/party member who joins. I'll do a full review sometime next week.

Amen!

As far as I'm concerned, both JRPG styles are pretty damn retro.  One's 20 years old and one's 12 years old.
