[Starr]

I'm hearing that people got charged like $70 and $350 by SE this month and I noticed £240 gone somewhere on a mini statement from a cash point today which could be SE. Anyone else hearing stuff like this?

Nope...I'll check my account thing when I get home, no one else I know has said anything about it.

[Kaslo]

I was only charged $24 which is right for $14 monthly and $10 proph.

[Destinye]

My charge was $25..So I have no idea.

Koichi Ogawa: As far as people receiving something extra for purchasing the game, there isn’t anything like that. However, you do have the chance to obtain any of the rewards within the add-on scenario, and you may play through it as many times as you wish to get as much treasure as possible.

Now I wouldn't read too far into this- but that kinda sounds
like other potential rewards?

I basically understood that as:
Go back through the story, and you can get another body piece.

Though- that's me being incredibly optimistic.

Yoshitsugu Saito: We’ve entrusted Matrix Software to put together a number of cut scenes, including the opening movie. They worked incredibly hard to complete some difficult scenes, such as one that takes place in the hustle and bustle of Jeuno, with many characters onscreen at once. I hope players are thrilled by each and every cut scene we have developed for A Crystalline Prophecy, and long-time denizens of Vana’diel can look forward to some familiar and nostalgic events.

This was the part that stood out to me. Do they mean they put together a cutscene depicting a part of the opening movie? I'm interested to find out.

[Stubwub]

I'm probably really tired, but do they mean CS as in the kind we currently have? Or the kind of CS you get when you start the game?

3d CGI or in-game models? >_>

[Gwynplaine]

There's no way they shelled out money for new CG cutscenes if that's what you mean. Besides that the opening movie is CG. So they are referring to in-game cutscenes.

Reading comprehension is tough!

They made the opening movie.

There will be a cutscene in Jeuno with a lot of characters.

They are the same type of cutscene, so they did shell out money for new CG. Why the hell would they outsource an in-game cutscene? Seriously?

has probably already been said, but do you actually get anything extra for preordering this instead of just waiting for the actual release?

You save yourself the trouble and excuse to QQ about congestion.

Yeah, that was very interesting wording, only time will tell. Thank goodness they won't let any information anywhere near the NA players!

I was always hoping bodies pieces wouldn't be the reward for beating the story, hoping it's something else so they can wow me.

I thought this particular interview was translated and sent to premiere sites according to last week's JPButton Podcast.
