Predownloading has been pushed up to April 3rd from the 9th.

The game is now available at EB Games in Australia.

not exactly, my store is one of a select few stores for some reason don't have stock on offer.
doesn't help matters that it's the flagship store in downtown sydney =/
my deluxe edition will have to wait.

Watched a few streams briefly last night from people that already have their copies, and the game really does look good. Found a guy that was at the Wall Market part of the game and the town looked amazing. Seems like there is a crazy amount of side quests/stories to do there too. Didn't stick around too long since I want to experience the game myself though.

That looks so fucking good. Seems like they are definitely showing some stuff that will be in the later releases though.

watching Excll stream it on twitch and it's fucking torture. wait for literally anyone else. i'm tied in now tho coz he's the furthest in that i know of.

also yeah i went to watch the new trailer and immediately quit it coz it was spoiling stuff just 3 seconds in

here's my assessment on the FULL game so far (15 hours in).
here i write only positive things, and only about mechanics, e.g. the music is good.

+ graphics are fucking great
+ i liked the tone of the japanese voice acting
+ combat looks like it could be played quite well/lots to do
+ level design is based on FF7 style rather than FF13 style. this was a huge concern for me
+ random dialogue is mostly not wasteful (unlike in FF13). this was also a huge concern for me
+ dialogue flows smoothly between speakers (unlike in FF15). this also was a huge concern for me
+ reproduction of scenes from the original is really nice for the most part (i am extremely picky tho)

Reviews are mentioning that story changed with typical Nomura non-sense and over-convoluting story.

So what I get from the reviews is that you have to know the original to understand/enjoy the ending for the first episode? But on the other hand you might hate the changes that come with this ending, if you know the original?
