Thanks. Made it pretty quick, but it turned out good.
I hadn't even heard of the game before it was shown on a Nintendo Direct. Looked interesting to me and tried the demo which sold me on it.
My copy should arrive today!

Loving the game so far, really digging the grid based combat system.

Yeah, one of those older titles that Square Enix brings to the Switch only and often in HD-2D.

Nice OT btw, this looks really good. I'm torn though, it looks like a game that's gonna come to Steam in 6+ months. I'm so glad they're doing more with the Octopath/Triangle Strategy engine.

Wish they keep doing this, there are some lesser known JRPGs from the SNES that I still have to play and would love to do so in this HD-2D format.
Treasure of the Rudras next, pretty please.

They announced they're doing the same for Dragon Quest III last year, but nothing since I don't think.
These games are perfect for the Switch too.

For some reason I thought they announced this as PC as well; oh well.

I was thinking it was releasing on Steam as well, but didn't find anything about it.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
This game is comparatively shorter than Xenoblade 3 though. Assuming it keeps pretty closely to the SNES version (the demo indicated it more or less would) then this one should take about 20-25 hours to finish depending on your reading speed. If you played the demo and carry your progress forward that should shave about 2-3 hours off even that.
Personally I was planning on playing this game this weekend and having it wrapped up in time for Xenoblade 3 next Friday. Now it looks like my copy won't arrive until Monday, so I might be right there with you in having to shelve this for later.

I had to pick XC or LaL and I went with XC. I wish I would have saved more this month. I haven’t finished the demo, but I’m looking forward to it. The narrated dialogue is a huge plus.

Right? I love when JRPGs do it, specially if they have a toggle option to let the dialogue advance automatically whenever a phrase ends. And this game has it!
Makes it even more comfy, wish every modern JRPG would do it.

This happens to like 60% of the games I pre-order.
Yep, it's the same for me.
Thanks, Amazon.

I had this problem in the past before, so I decided to just go to a local supermarket on the launch day amd pick the game up. Of course they don't always carry the games I want, but most of time they do. Thankfully they had Live A Live yesterday.Yep, it's the same for me.
Thanks, Amazon.
Try out the demo, and judge for yourself.

Beat the Imperial China chapter and began Shinobi chapter afterwards. I enjoyed China, though the poay area was quite small, and it was almost exclusively battle after battle. The story was good, but the boss was quite easy.
As for the Shinobi, this is by far the most challenging chapter so far, no wonder I didn't do well when I played it during the demo. If you are planning to play the game, don't play this first.

Has anyone managed to quit the job and escape successfully? If you try to leave the area where you first arrive, the game gives you a choice to abandon the mission.
It seems to give you an ending if you manage to do it, but I was too weak. What does happen if you win the battle?

Some games on Amazon say 'release day delivery'. This was one of them. So is Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Usually it only ships on release day, and comes a couple days later.That's so sad. I preordered on Amazon as soon as they went live after they announced the game, chose free shipping (5-8 day delivery), and received it on launch day by noon.

Or in my case, I preordered as soon as it went live - and it shipped on Thursday, and now won't arrive until next Wednesday.

Looks fantastic, don't know why Square keeps confining stuff like this and Triangle Strategy to the Switch, would buy it day 1 if it ever comes to PlayStation.

People complain about Nintendo lacks 3rd party support, then Nintendo does get 3rd party games people complain why it’s exclusive to Switch.

1. I couldn't care less about Nintendo getting 3rd party support.
2. Nintendo can continue to get these games but Square can make them available on other platforms, this isn't hard to understand.

Same way SE make some game exclusive to Playstation, they also make one for Nintendo systems as well.
But you never know it might come to Playstation at some point, but then again Octopath Traveler never made it Playstation but it did came out on Xbox.

The difference is PlayStation can run these games flawlessly. FFVIIR or FFXVI literally wouldn't "work" on Switch, there's a big difference. Otherwise I'm all for Switch getting these games too

For me it my big reason why own both Playstation and Nintendo systems, that way I wont miss out on most of Japanese games.The difference is PlayStation can run these games flawlessly.

To lot of people Switch is nothing more Zelda or Mario system and I enjoy those games but my biggest reason owning Nintendo systems because time to time they get JRPG or other Japanese games that Playstation doesn't get.
Especially these day when Sony completely abandoned first party Japanese games this gen.

Odd. The only this i can think of is that you are not near a hub. But even then Fri-Wed seems excessively long. Monday at the latest.

I'm on the West Coast, so I guess I just figured it was another supply-chain-looting instance. My wife had some stuff she also ordered from Amazon that also shipped Thursday and similarly won't arrive until later this week. Amazon seems to think the parcel has "arrived at an unknown location", which I think means lost. They say that if they don't get further information from UPS by Monday it sounds like they're going to re-ship, so I assume that's why they have a Wednesday estimate now.
I checked my local Walmart to see if they had the game in stock (so I'd just return the Amazon copy when it eventually shows up) but no luck there. Also tried my local grocery store, since they keep a small selection of games, but also no dice.
I wish I wasn't so insistent on physical copies of my Switch games, because that eShop purchase is looking really good. I've got 5 people in my household with Switches though, and if someone else wants to play the game later it's only possible for me to share with the physical cartridge.

I usually just check Target online at 8:00am day of release (or WalMart) and usually they have them ready to buy. I order and select pickup. I pick up after work. Sometimes the clerk looks for the game in the morning when I order it and they cannot fine it or say its out of stock. When in reality it's not on the shelf yet. In that case I either try a different Target or try again an a couple hours a=when they actually put the game out. Often it shows up later.
I went into WalMart yesterday and they had a bunch of copies. I would check online again. If you find it, contact Amazon and tell them it was suppsosed to be release-day delivery and it's going to be over a week. They likely will refund the money saying it's 'lost'.

Unfortunately I do live a bit remotely, so Walmart and my local grocery store (Fred Meyers, a Kroger joint) are the only places that carry games locally. I'm about 100 miles away from the nearest Target or Best Buy, or really any other big box retail place. I checked walmart.com again, and it says it's not available at my store, but they can ship it to me by Wednesday.
It's not the end of the world, I've got plenty of games to play in the meantime. But I had about 20 hours blocked out this weekend to play through this before Xenoblade 3, which is why I'm most disappointed it didn't get here on time. I love this game, but it might have to go on the back-burner for a few months.
