Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

[Guitarman]

Hell yes. Going to get my copy tomorrow. I really liked this when I played it. It's a LOOOONG game.

My amazon copy says:

Arriving Feb 8 - Feb 23
Expected to ship Feb 21

Dafuq.

They're doing that with a lot of game preorders, it seems, Ty. If you get the free shipping that is (I don't have another option b/c I don't have Prime).

I preordered Gravity Rush 2 and KH 2.8 myself; earliest I'll see Gravity Rush 2 is Jan 26 (you know that the release date was earlier this week, right?) It's shipping Jan 25th. Release date for KH 2.8 is Jan 24, I won't be getting that until Feb 3rd at latest. It's shipping Jan 30th.

They seem to be just dragging their heels on the free shipping or something.

[Tyrath]

I have prime and it shouldn't be an issue.

[Krandor]

Why not just buy it in digital and play right now? Is it really that necessary to have it in physical form

[Tyrath]

Digital doesn't do the amazon prime new game discount

Can always do the Bust Buy/Target/Gamestop "rental" when Amazon does this and just return to amazon copy when it arrives.

I really like all the QoL changes, especially with regards to item management and the alchemy pot. And the picture taking sidequest has you scouring and exploring little nooks and crannies that you didn't already which is nice.

Not a whole lot of added stuff, as the original PS2 strategy guide is pretty much verbatim up to Simpleton so far. I've run into one new Famous Monster and theres only been 3-4 of those blue chests that occasionally refill themselves.

[Tyrath]

I was thinking that. Do they usually have a time limit on unopened games for return? Currently my delivery is gonna be just over a month.

[Kirin]

Eh, if its a month I think gamestop and target are 30 days on electronics. I think walmart is 60, however.
