Did you get a printed manual? Or just digital?

It's the regular digital manual which is accessible via home button or from the game itself. It's much larger than your usual game manual, though.

 

[Blues1990]

There is one hell of a weird plot twist in this game. And, oh boy, this is how I had reacted to it.

I'm in USA. I have the SE arriving tomorrow.

I wonder if it includes a printed manual? Probably not. :-/

Is... is there a YouTube link in the thread title?

Not the first time

It does not. Printed Nintendo manuals went to RIP years ago. Even in Special Editions.

 

[Qurupeke]

Interceptors are the superior choice.

 

[Litri]

Just got notification my game is on the post office!!! Salivating...

 

[woopWOOP]

Won't be able to play for real for awhile, but atleast I managed to create my old fart hero

Creation tools were a little more limited than what I was expecting, but I suppose this works

Gave him a bunch of stars below his left eye. You so silly, grandpa!

I'm pretty sure Smash Bros from last year has a printed manual. There's no way I could misremember it having all those characters in there.

Oh boy!

 

[smashballTaz]

I know, right!

That's a quick start guide thing. Not a manual. They occasionally do those.

 

[Rebel Leader]

What's a good division to start on?

 

[E_Darkness]

I don't have £30-40 to get this game currently. Though with how much content it probably has by the time I get it, people won't have finished playing.

 

[FunkyDealer]

So I've just been to Gamestop. I was looking to trade in a couple things to reduce the price, and hopefully afford the special edition.

Here in Norway, a standard copy of X retails for 500kr, thats about 60 USD. The special edition retails at 850kr. The digital version, if you own the first Xenoblade, costs 420kr.

Gamestop wanted 700kr. For the standard edition. Hell no.

Digital it is. And I've already downloaded the packs for speeding up load-times.

Those data packs are useless for digital download.

No no no! Delete them. They have ZERO effect for the digital version. They only exist to bring the disc version closer in line with the download version!

The download page even told you this several times^^

 

[donkey show]

Totally regret not bringing the Wii U with me to work for some lunch time XBX shenanigans...

 

[Darkone]

Dam i want a Wii U just for this game.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

so fun XD

I suck at fighting

Elma too cool

VA is great

 

[Kaname]

That moment when you buy the game but don't have the console to play it on
If only I could find a decent offer...can't justify spending too much for a console I'd use literally for 2-3 games

You already have the game! YOu can't justify spending money on a console just for 2-3 games, but you can justify spending money on a game for a console you don't have?

Go ahead, you won't regret getting the console.

Dam i want a Wii U just for this game.

Do it, just as I did. XD I'm weak.

 

[WanderingWind]

I go on media blackouts for games I know I'm going to buy, so the mute protagonist was a shocker to me. So very, very, very disappointed. I'm barely an hour in and it is really getting on my nerves how they had to write around this. It's so awkward.

Shulk and the superb voice action was one of the great strengths of the first game. And so far everybody else's VA is on point.

 

[JKTrix]

Woke up early to get in a little time before work. Here's the dude I was gonna go with

But then I saw Mary Elizabeth McGlynn was an option for female voices and needed it.

 

[kuroneko0509]

[Malvingt2]

Amazon did screw me over...

going to try to get regular version before getting home and return Special Edition Tuesday.

sigh

 

[KingSnake]

Did anyone buy the prima eguide, and if so, is it any good?

I bought it and reading through it now, at work. It has detailed description of practically everything in the game as far as I can see. It contains walk-troughs for every chapter of the story and for the affinity missions, description for the basic missions and so on. I haven't started yet the game, so I don't want to read yet through those, but I picked randomly one affinity mission to check and it seems to have a detailed description where you need to go and find things, whom to fight and so on.

 

[Sölf]

Deliveryman, where the hell are you? D:

 

[Sammy Samusu]

2 hours in and my character is already looking like a damn robot.

 

[Herb Alpert]

my copy has arrived!!!



But I'm currently at work and will be for the next 8 hours...

 

[Sölf]

OH GOD I SEE A DHL THINGY AT THE OTHER HOUSE!!! AAAAHHHH!!!

Got the eguide as well, haven't had a chance to read anything yet,but your brief description sounds like its pretty detailed. Nice

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

OH GOD I SEE A DHL THINGY AT THE OTHER HOUSE!!! AAAAHHHH!!!

My DHL isn't here yet :'(

Tell me about it. The post man visited my neighbour and didn't come to me. Ugh. Maybe tomorrow.

Guys, chill. I know.

I've already downloaded them because I planned to go physical. But then that failed, so now I need to download the digital version instead.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Elma is awesome. I'm starting to get the hang of the combat. Also, the music is sooooo good.

Good, good. Your post sounded like you were confused about that.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Just played for 4 hours straight, it's been a great experience so far. Looking forward to trying some online stuff tomorrow

 

[Sölf]

Got it. Goodbye Real Life. Will come back in a few hours and cry about not understanding anything.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Thanks to the hour delay in them getting the digital version up, I spent 2 hours falling asleep and randomly waking up to make one or two character decisions before falling asleep again.

I think by 3 am, I had finally gotten all that done and fought like, a battle before calling it a night.

Can't wait to dig into this after work though.
