Nah dude... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 03/03/2010 08:32:29 PM
I rarely if ever pre-order games, but it seems like pre-orders generally come with some bonus content. A free piece of DLC, or a beta-key to the company's next game, or maybe even a soundtrack if you're particularly lucky. I haven't seen anything like that for FFXIII. The best I've seen is a free 30 page booklet of "excerpts from the official strategy guide," which is little more than an advertising brochure. I suppose the lack of gimmicks is because retailers know full well that the game will sell itself, but still, it'd be nice to get SOMETHING. Then again, maybe I just have an exaggerated sense of entitlement. :P

Anyway, did you get anything when you preordered? If so, where did you do your preorderin'? If anyone else managed to snag a preorder bonus, feel free to chime in.


I didn't get anything besides that same little booklet that you did. But then as you said, with an FF game, I didn't really expect to get anything. Its not like they can give me a multiplayer map or some such. And then, and this is just me, but FF memorbelia doesn't do it for me. I mean, unless they give me a real size, fully functional gunblade...I won't care.

I reserved everything at GameStop. Normally a store I avoid, but its the same price everywhere....

Every FF game since 7 has been relentlessly linear. Nothing new there. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/03/2010 06:33:10 AM 291 Views
I was sad to hear that they made this one even more linear than past games. Jacob - 02/03/2010 09:42:56 PM 729 Views
what's so horrible about a linear game? LadyLorraine - 03/03/2010 05:01:12 PM 643 Views
Who said anything about being horrible? Jacob - 03/03/2010 05:24:50 PM 670 Views
your description made it sound like that was your opinion LadyLorraine - 03/03/2010 07:56:21 PM 687 Views
We all have our pet peeves. *NM* Jacob - 03/03/2010 09:34:13 PM 326 Views

Didn't say it shouldn't Tayron - 03/03/2010 06:00:48 AM 775 Views
Why? lord-of-shadow - 03/03/2010 06:31:54 AM 723 Views
To be fair, it might have come out sooner if they hadn't shifted to multiplatform Jragghen - 04/03/2010 12:22:20 AM 663 Views

Agreed A Deathwatch Guard - 03/03/2010 06:10:24 AM 637 Views
That's what I meant by 'even more linear'... Jacob - 03/03/2010 02:23:11 PM 711 Views
The reason I un-announced the Mass Effect thread was to make ready for a FFXIII one. Aemon - 02/03/2010 10:29:33 PM 665 Views
That actually brings up a question I've had.... A Deathwatch Guard - 03/03/2010 03:25:00 AM 608 Views
Just a couple small things that I'm aware of. Aemon - 03/03/2010 04:40:08 AM 652 Views

GF aggro is not a fun thing Tayron - 03/03/2010 06:03:56 AM 705 Views
Eh. I think it'll be great, but my enthusiasm for the genre is pretty much non-existent these days. lord-of-shadow - 03/03/2010 05:55:59 AM 566 Views
To say that I'm excited about it would be an understatement.... Jeordam - 03/03/2010 04:17:08 PM 702 Views
Speaking of reserving the game, did you get any bonus with your pre-order? Aemon - 03/03/2010 05:22:31 PM 644 Views
