Chapter 4 - Jessie is cute, Roche is chewing scenery and Wedge has a sore arse. 10 on 10, loved every minute, and I'm not even joking.

Re: the door textures, it looks like it's an LoD issue - the game is presumably meant to load in progressively higher resolution assets for models as the player gets closer to them, but for some reason it's busted on the doors. Hopefully this will see a fix in the launch day patch, these kind of...

That new arrangement of Promised Land is incredible. I mean, all the music so far has been, but that in particular stood out, particularly alongside the shot of the exploded reactor against the skyline.

My copy arrived at just after 5pm UK time, and yeah my order never changed from Requested either. Presuming they were just firing them out of the warehouse as quickly as possible, tracking be damned. The Hardy is hilariously enormous, I love it.

UK 1st Class Ed. orders are being dispatched, my friend just received his. His order page on the SE Store never updated past Requested and he never got a tracking number, DPD just showed up at his door.

HDR in particular has a lot of potential with this game, the slums and wall market in particular. The demo seemed very encouraging in that aspect.

Demon City Shinjuku. Plot wise it wasn't particularly fantastic but hot damn is it ever a good looking film.

Tifa's combat looks extremely fun, really quick and snappy movements to start with and opening into crazy acrobatics. Needs more suplexes and piledrivers though.

I've seen a few games do this before (the CE for MGSV:TPP provided one with space for both GZ and TPP, as well as the regular case) but it's definitely not common. I'm personally glad of it, I like the render and all but I don't think it looks good on the steelbook. Would've much preferred some...

Well bugger me then. That's some slick packaging.

We probably won't get a full (official) tracklist until some time in May I'd guess. Direct rips from the game is another story entirely, I'd expect those by next week.

Playing ACNH on the side but my main game right now is Nioh 2. Very cool, takes some getting used to thanks to both the difficulty and the amount of different mechanics it has going on, but once you get a grasp of things it's a whole lot of fun.

My 1st Class order has the same status, apparently other folk in the UK are getting "Initiated" or "Validated" too. Kind of wish I hadn't looked at my order now, because all I'll be doing for the next 2 weeks is staring at it and willing it to change.

Nomura still the reigning champion of using the 3/4ths length shorts 'n' boots combo in character designs, I see. Watch that new dude end up being designed by Ferrari, thus ruining my observation.

Biggs, Wedge, Jessie, Pres. Shinra, Rufus, Rude, Tseng and Corneo? I'd be happy with those 8. Have either Tseng or Pres. Shinra as the chase figure.

They're definitely not showing their full hand quite yet. Look at all the Wall Market stuff they put out just last week, we didn't know a damn thing about any of those new characters whatsoever. They could've easily held onto that until launch and noone who hadn't looked at the datamine would've...

Barret definitely has a completely new head sculpt, and the sunglasses and gun arm look more accurate too. It does otherwise look mostly the same, so presumably a retool rather than a totally new figure? Can only guess it's the same for Cloud.

Bit stingy of them to sell the older version of Cloud with the 1st Class Edition - probably won't bother with the new Cloud but I'll need that new Barret.
