I think that's the first print run that has the special DLC costumes for Milla and wuss guy. Check the box if there's a code in it. It's a neat costume.
Indeed. I found the code and all, but I guess I need a Japanese account to use it right? How would I go about setting that up nyaa?
Many thanks Corfish and Mister Nep nyaa.
If you haven't done so. Making a Hong Kong account is a good idea as well. There's a lot of good content on there as well. Hong Kong is like half Japanese stuff and half English stuff, and the interface is in English so making a HK account is easier than a JP one. You can load up on HK money from Play-Asia and go nuts on purchasing.
That reminds me...do they send you a actual card with the code on it...or do they give you the code via email nyaa?

playasia has options for digital or physical (not under the same tab though, separate items). Really though, Tales dlc is overpriced and not worth it imo. it's like 5$ a costume >_< Xilia's fun though; have a good time with it :3 It's prob the worst ps3 tales game though lmao. Graces, you need Graces!
If you need help getting through the game, use this flowchart guide. It's pretty easy without any guide though; I never used it 'till newgame+, and I know very little Japanese http://ameblo.jp/koulinovesperia/ This fellow's guides got me platinum in all 3 ps3 tales games :3. From reading your posts in the pasts, i'm assuming you don't know Japanese...=/ ? but my memory is horible, and i'm delusional at times; I advise learning Hiragana and Katakana though at the least; it will take like a dedicated day at tops. Luckily, most of the menu text is Katakana.

^ yeah, totally. Both Graces and Xillia are very accessible....not Vesperia so much though, because you wouldn't know where the hell to go half the time. Like 70% of the menus are in foreign words, so just learn Katakana. And there is a button that tells you where to need to go next, and you can match it up with your map. Xillia is fairly linear, not so much as something like FF XIII though.
The gameplay of Xillia is pretty easy to grasp without any knowledge of Japanese. Some of the tutorials might go over your head, but gameplay is doable. Of course you won't understand the story, but you can probably understand it somewhat by looking at the characters and their reactions.
Whether you want to or not, you'll probably learn some of the basic stuff the more you play the game. You'll probably learn what the JP words for "Save" "Load" etc. are eventually. If you're willing to try it's a doable game. At least that's what I think so far. Haven't gotten very far in it yet.
A note for those that don't import often. Take note of the programming some games have. Like in Xillia you have to hit circle to select the save option. When you enter the save slot you have to confirm with X to pick a save slot. And then when you go back the confirm button goes back to circle. So you might think you saved, but you actually didn't because of how the confirmation works.

Hmm...good to know. As for the Tales DLC, I don't think it's that bad nyaa...considering you can seem them in them for majority of the scenes (with the exception of animated cgs, if there any I've yet to see.) Even in serious scenes, I can't help but laugh at...uh..."wuss guy" with the dog nose accessory on. Reminds me of Saito from Zero no Tsukaima in the second ed.
Indeed, I don't know Japanese, but I do have to say from all the anime (with english subs) that I've watched, I did manage to pick up a few words/lines here and there.
All in all, Tales of Xillia is rather easy to get into, and I do have to say Teepo is awesome, in a weird, creepily cute, sort of way nyaa.
EDIT: I've tried to learn Japanese in the past, but I didn't know which is the one that's used the most, or the one I should focus on. I think I'll practice with the comics I've found and I'll later post them in the Blazblue downtime thread.
Silly pre-order bonus...
Okay, FFXIII-2 is coming out next week
I already pre-ordered my collector edition at my EBgames
Problem is... I want the SteelBook case bonus from FutureShop to put my game in (I don't want to mess with the Collector's case)
But ! FutureShop don't take pre-orders for the CE !
Worse... BestBuy bonus is the Novel they included for the Europe bonus...
And they don't take pre-orders for the CE !
I want that novel;
that smexy SteelBook;
and that CE...
SOOO !
Basically,
I pre-ordered the regular xbox version at FS and another regular version at BestBuy
And I kept the CE from my EBgames and if FS or BB have a CE, I'll cancel my EBgames pre-orders.
In the end, I'll double dip on FFXIII-2
1 CE and 1 regular....

^is it even possible to be that excited for 13-2? lmao. For around the same price, you coulda just imported it a while ago and then pick up the eng ver later. >_< I'ma hard core final fantasy fan, and I don't even have the urge to buy 13-2. I'll just pick up the Asian version whenever I get tired of digsaea 4 :3

^^FF 13 is worth playing though. I was pissed as hell when I first got it (I even imported the Jp/eng asian version, because I was that hyped on it)...like really pissed....and really disappointed--so disappointed that I went on to platinum it, because I felt unsatisfied. And after, I was like "wow, that was surprisingly fun." Then, 2 weeks ago I went back and beat it again, because I wanted to play an rpg and was broke (plus, on my new psn I don't have any trophies for it) and was like, "wow. This was a good game." lol :3 Buuuut, now I'm playing Disgaea 4 and will probably buy disgaea 3 afterwards instead of 13-2.

^hey, let me know how that is. I'm really interested in that game, but I have never played one. I started doing *unspeakable things* to my wii to be able to patch #4 for more english friendly options....then I got confused and lazy -___-
Yeah, sure. As soon as I finish with Hanako's route in Katawa Shoujo.

I finally got my mitts on a Royal Bundle edition of X-Blades...
Statue could have used a bit of work (Skin could be a shade or two darker, and face could have used a bit of work.), but all together it's a pretty nice set. Artbook has a few good pieces in it, and the soundtrack's not half bad. Was worried that the included strategy guide would be all German, but it's got multiple languages, so I've actually picked up a couple of pointers.
