Hey guys

Is anyone picking this up on Friday? Or have any played it already (Jap version)? How good is it?

I'm going to pick it up I think, but am I losing it or was there not supposed to be some sort of special edition that included a classic controller with it? I just had a quick look on a few online site (Play and Amazon) and cant see any details of a special edition though.

Is the Classic Controller needed to play it anyway?

I'm picking it tomorrow hopefully,I'm gonna try and get the SE edition,I preordered the normal one,I think it would easier to play with a classic controller than the Wiimote+Nunchuck combo.

Cheers, post up tomorrow if you get it and how much it is?

Like many others, I have a Wii thats been turned into a jukebox for my daughter but would love to pick this up and play it. I think I have an original classic controller, it will still work with that wont it?

Will it work with GC controllers by any chance? I dont think they do work with any games anymore but I honestly cant remember as its been so long since I played anything on the Wii.

Classic controller, yes. Gamecube controller, no.

I'm really enjoying it. Only about 10 hours in (lvl 22 I think).

Not finding it too hard yet and that's from someone who hasn't played a jrpg since grandia 2 on the dc.

Do affinity coins actually do anything? Can you spend them? And really have no idea what I'm doing when trading!

Im getting into the story too. I love the feel that its going to get epic in breath.

Overall really loving it actually.

Digging up a year old thread here, but this game is bloody impossible to find. Got it for €40 new last year in gamestop, then I had to loan my wii to my sister when she was sick, forgot I left the disc in the wii, and I never saw it again.

I checked the gametracker link, not available on thie sites. Anyone seen this game anywhere? Otherwise I will just have to pay extortionate prices on ebay or amazon.

I'm not sure what happened to gametracker but it hasn't been updated in months. There should be plenty of copies on line and I've seen a few in Dublin.

cheapest I've found online new is about £50 from sellers through amazon. I'll be up in Dublin next week, I'll have a scout around then.
