    Ordered this from Shopto on Thursday, thought I was being clever getting it sent to Parcel Motel for a quicker delivery but according to Royal Mail it still hasn't been delivered to them. 3 working days seems long for First Class Delivery but that said these are crazy days, lucky the post is working at all! Just hope it isn't lost

    I didnt get the preorder bonus DLC with my shopto order. this happen anyone else? I know they posted up at some point about this being sold out from the 2nd of april or somethin but my order was placed well before then

    [edit, nevermind... its in my shopto account as a digital code ]

    Yeah, received it today. Hopefully yours will arrive tomorrow. I'm near Dublin so I usually get stuff pretty quickly once it is in the country.

    Don't do this to yourself.

    Don't do this to all us ejits who panicked and went digital!

    Getting a bit annoyed now... my ShopTo order still isn’t tracking with AP and looks less likely for tomorrow. What happened since RM marked it as leaving the country on Thursday night?? I’m in Dublin too so I should get it fast

    Mine left 1.30am like yours, probably hasn't got into an Post system yet if the tracking isn't updated :(

    Hope ye get yer copies sorted soon.

    Lads.....Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaads this is epic. I can't believe I'm playing it. Readable subtitles and pausable cutscenes are such a subtle bonus in 2020.

    You are making me want a copy of the game.

    Really loving this so far. Played about 3 hours of it today. Already encountered some of the new extra missions and stuff that would be considered filler to pad out the length of the game, but to be honest I’m one of those players that purposely padded out the length of the original game anyway... going off outside of the slums and running around in circles, getting in as many battles as I can early on to level up my materia and gil. At least now you can do that in the form of side quests before you continue on with the story.

    Midgar looks amazing from the upper plate to the slums. So much so that I feel like hanging around sector 8 and doing all the optional stuff just to take it all in before the story progresses more. Some surprisingly challenging enemies early on too.

    Chapter 2 done and i love it. The music, graphics, combat, all excellent that has a whiff of nostalgia but it's a completely new game. There's so many layers to the combat, it's really satisfying getting into a flow of attack, switch, ability, switch, magic, attack, etc. Also the enemies seem less spongey than the demo which was my biggest complaint of it.

    I died once so far as i didn't take a new eventt seriously, good to see the choice of loading, a save file, starting from last section or starting from start of the last battle. Gets you back into the action nice and quick and skippable cutscenes are great as well. Can't wait to get stuck into it more.

    As im someone who has never played any FF games, would you still recommend this?

    If you can still get the demo that might be a good way to find out.
    From what I've played it's a good game that doesn't need nostalgia to keep you interested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 689 ✭✭✭rm212


    Yes finally! Scanned into Dublin Parcel Hub, should have mine tomorrow :)

    You're probably the biggest culprit in here for getting me to buy games I hadn't intended.

    The price we pay for taking the "easy route" and going digital I'm afraid, we have to wait till Friday, were all in this together.

    don't be too hasty, smyth's shipped my order yesterday but haven't provided a working tracking link, considering it went from order to shipped in until 3 hours I can forgive them for not putting in a working tracking number in the email/my account but I'm now sitting by the letterbox waiting/wondering if today's the day.

    My postie has been and gone, with no FFVII I may add, mine went out yesterday, my link also does not work with tracking, could it be sent by DPD with Smyth's?

    I normally only ever collect with Smyth's, never got anything delivered from them...

    Doorbell rang. Never moved as fast in my life as the postie never rings unless there is a package.

    Everyone can relax, my wife's makeup subscription box arrived.

    :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 67 ✭✭Mikiek14

    So many emotions in such a short timeframe, you probably should lie down.

    Someone ripped the audio for the game, so you can listen before the soundtrack is released in a few days.
