Beat it today after hitting the level 35 experience cap...overall, a pretty decent game, though levelling up was REALLY getting repetitive at the end. I feel bad for the people who actually plan on beating the game twice more on harder difficulties, if only because of how boring it would get.

only certain pre-orders came with the art book. Several of us pre-ordered and did not receive art books. I know Best Buy and eStarland were two places we discussed here that didn't end up getting the books.

You have a PS3, Bone? I'm on the fence about selling my copy of the game.

It's gonna be hard to find in a few years...

I got the game like maybe a week or more after it came out off Amazon and I got an artbook for some reason. Also the artbook rocks, feels so much nicer than most of these pre-order books and the pages are very high quality.

I'm not sure how much I believe that.

(Looking forward to someone quoting this post when it's hard to find in a few years).

At any rate, I'm really trying these days to not care about if a game is 'hard to find' but rather am attempting to focus my collection on just being full of games that I really truly enjoy.

I just received the game from Amazon. It had the artbook (Vita version). Didn't see that coming at all, was kind of confused at first as to why I had such a big box.

I think this game was promoted enough and had a large enough shipment that it won't be hard to find in a few years. Seems like it was much much more hyped than other Vanillaware games. But we'll see!

So it only has pictures of the Amazon?

Mwahahahaha

I really want to open it but I'm in a college library.

This is my last useless post - I'll update once I actually play the game.

Odin Sphere and Muramasa actually received a lot of hype and marketing, at least for niche games. Neither of those are hard to find right now (although the Muramasa pre-order bonus that tons of people got screwed over on has become something of a collector's item). Same with Grand Knights History at first, everyone was talking about it. But we know what happened there...

This has gotten not only a good amount of hype and marketing, but also the silly "controversy" or whatever. So I don't see this becoming a rarity either. It'll probably never become a $1 sports game either, but yeah.

yeah. I see it being about as rare as something like Catherine is now a few years later. So, not very rare.
