    Hard to spoil much in a remake of a 20+ year old game, I doubt there'll be many surprises.

    I'll let ye know if I get it, but will keep schtum on pretty much everything else unless someone is looking for a "can you tell me X so I know to buy it or not" sort of thing

    I'd love to hear a rough playthrough time. I see some people say 2-3 hours because it's midgar and just part 1 which is complete bollox (i hope).

    Gonna warn you now, my wife MIGHT give me a day to enjoy this but after that I may get an hour or two in the evenings and thats it :D I'll be playing this till september even if it's 15 hours long anyway

    Took me over a year to beat FFXV :D

    It has to be at least 20 hours to warrant the price surely. I did see someone say 30 - 40 but can't recall where that was.

    In any event you'll hopefully be able to still play in the open world while waiting for the next chapter. Grinding out those levels...

    I'd be happy with 20. Anything over that in Midgar alone might be over padded. Trophy list should be up soon anyway to give some kind of an idea.

    Who'd have thunk the most active thread on my followed threads is a 25 year old game?

    So did I, I'm half tempted to order it on Amazon now though and hope it ships early.

    I probably won't since that would be stupid, but I'm tempted :pac:

    I ordered on Amazon today

    Hoping it ships early now on the basis of the news too

    Should be quite a few. Midgar is expanded from 8-10 hours to 30+ hours. It's going to be a lot bigger with lot's of new story elements, characters and locations.

    For sure, its been completely remade seemingly. Summons and all are available in Midgar

    Sorry I meant any pre orders at present.

    The warehouse is closed until government restrictions are lifted. It's a vague tweet they sent out but seems that they are closed until further notice

    Lads if you're looking for a good RPG then you can download FFXIV right now, no need to mess around with Persona. It's the best COVID19 gaming there is

    I don't think their warehouses are open so no orders from yesterday on will go out. I added their update but try to get in touch with them

    Every retailer is in the same boat lads https://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/store-info

    Companies are not allowed into their warehouses to ship - otherwise of course they would. Only digital/UK orders are going to be good.
