Quite possibly the worst company for namco to partner with for shipping. I dont think a single person has recieved anything from the pre-orders yet, no tracking, no nothing.
Just awful.

Gamefaq board thread has a bunch of people getting ship notifications as of ~4pm today, so at least some are getting shipped.

Is anyone else having the problem that when you are in a boss fight your companions get knocked out and you end up doing 2/3rds by yourself?

oh and also is there something i can do to prevent my companions to try and do entire battles without using a familiar?

Yeah the companion is pretty terrible with ai right now at least. I set her up to keep us alive with tactics and always attack what the leader is attacking but I'm pretty sure she's still just banging her dick into a door jam. I too had to solo at least one boss. At least I feel I got pretty good at combat after that experience.

13 hours or so in. Been doing all the side quests and I'm over leveling like I typically do. Drippy and his constant hand holding during questing is annoying me. Also the need for asking permission to take parts of peoples hearts all the time. Other than that, I'm in love with the game, it just makes me feel good.

Is there still hand-holding 13 hours in?

Where did people order from that are not getting their shipments? I pre-ordered from Amazon on Monday and it delivered yesterday no problems.

directly through namco, who outsourced it to Digital River apparently.
I think this was the only way to actually get a wizards edition


edit: got shipping confirmation an hour ago or so, yay~

To be fair I'm not that far in, I take my time. Been messing around while drunk and over leveling. Hopefully it won't last much longer.

My OCD is going to drive me crazy with this game. Just Spent an hour and a half trying to get a single familiar. This is going to take a loooong time, but I love it!

I was following this situation for the past 2 days now, so here is the breakdown if anyone cared.

Preorders back in August or so, (before the Jan 17th preorder) got cancelled due to CC not being up to date, no funds etc. Those preorders opened up for people on the 17th for people to order. Then a mass email about cancelled orders went out. This cancelled email seems to be a mistake on the system and some people in fact are getting their orders. People who had a bad CC on file seems to be the only ones who got shafted.

Digital River customer service then made a "secret link" so those who got shafted could order again and being it's the internet, that link got leaked. Those who ordered from that link are getting confirmed shipping.

What's funny is that people are Facebook are pissed about their order when it could have just been their CC company not processing it.

Same - while trying to tame Bonehead. The first and second times I finally got the pink hearts, I was in such a zone that I hit attack again and finished it off before I could switch to Esther. The AI familiars won't finish them off but the one you are controlling sure can.

I've only done that so far with the first creature after the trials. If I had done that with say Jabber, I would have had a fucking fit and not played the game for a few days. I've still to get all of them in the desert, I backtracked. Now I'm headed to the desert :/

after you finish the volcano head back to the talking tree and he will give you 3 phoenix feathers

also, griffey is stupid overpowered. he hits twice or three times harder than other familiars of equivalent level/metamorphosis.I think he must be an early riser or something.
