I have been reading good things about this game, anyone else getting it?

they apparently fixed a lot of things that people complained about; game was too linear, not enough gameplay, so we should be able to see a huge change

Totally forgot this is getting released in (January?). Gonna go ahead and pre-order it when I get my holiday shopping done. There are a few threads floating around covering a majority of the changes Squenix had in mind. It should be a hell of a lot more enjoyable than XIII was. Had good story line, but very little incentive to go through with the C'ieth stone missions.

jp gets it today

Huh?

japan gets the game today, so there are a shit ton of information out for the game.

Oh gotcha. I might just wait 'til January 31st and let it be a surprise

i read a tad too much about the characters and a bit of the setting

also if you preorder the game at gamestop you get a different skin or something, but if you preorder it on amazon, you get a secret boss fight lol

Yeah the Amazon pre-order comes with the extra boss and ultimately an extra character once you beat him. Was a no-brainer to go with Amazon.

if you get it from gamestop you get
alternate serah costume as well as a bonus serah outfit

I have a question related to the pre-order bonuses.

I was thinking about maybe buying the Amazon version for the boss battle bonus, but since they are shipping it from the US, will it still work on my european PS3?

Anyone have any answer on this? or is the boss bonus only for US players?
