Topic: Final fantasy discussion thread

@FullbringIchigo It is.

I actually didn't know that, though, despite having preordered my special edition from Amazon.

@Ralizah Crunch bars are great plus we get them over here. Mmm Crunch bars. Please give me a reason to buy them, FF7R.

@nessisonett Caramello bars > Everything

@FullbringIchigo I would usually get it from Amazon as I have prime, but as it is released on a bank holiday (and there is also a bank holiday on the following Monday), I'm gonna get it digitally. The standard version comes with a dynamic theme which will hopefully be sweet. Not sure if they are both the same.

What's annoying me about Final Fantasy VII Remake is that they've got a preorder for a version that's like £80 or something, and it comes with loads of rubbish like a digital artbook which is basically a Google image search, and a digital soundtrack which is basically a Spotify playlist but not on Spotify which means I'll never listen to it, so all this stuff is totally worthless, but it also comes with a cactuar summon so sure I guess I'm paying the extra £15 over the normal version.

This is how they get you.

@johncalmc I'm just getting the standard version for 60 quid. That comes with a theme and a chocobo summon. I plan to get some psn credit from either shopto or cdkeys as it works out a bit cheaper that way.

@JohnnyShoulder £60 where are you buying it from? it's only costing me £50 on Amazon

@JohnnyShoulder I'm just buying the silly one for reasons I haven't quite figured out yet

@johncalmc
I love a digital soundtrack, but I agree on the digital artbook, can't see the justification of charging extra for that.

@johncalmc Aren’t the extra summons just DLC which also come with that pack?

@Thrillho I imagine so. I tried googling it to work out whether I could just buy the normal one and then get the stupid cactuar in game and/or just buy it separately but I couldn't work it out.

@FullbringIchigo I'm getting it from the ps store, so that I am sure to have it on day 1. I don't mind paying a little bit extra, plus my ps4 is spitting out the discs at the moment.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah but for bank holidays they normally ship early so you get it on time

@FullbringIchigo I dunno that is still not 100% guaranteed, it could get lost in the post or something. Even if I get it delivered at work, it could still go walkies. For a tenner extra I don't mind paying that for peace of mind. Most other games I would not be too worried about getting day 1, but certain titles that I am hyped for I want to be playing those bad boys on day 1.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah i get that, personally i HAVE to own a FF game physically

@FullbringIchigo Plus my ps4 is ejecting discs randomly, so until that gets sorted it is all digital going forward.

@JohnnyShoulder mine started that, it's because of dust build up under the button causing pressure

what you have to do is remove the little rubber foot that's under the button, get a soft bristle paint brush and push it in the gap under the button and remove the dust (i'm assuming you have a original model PS4 like me), that's what i did and i haven't had it happen again since

@FullbringIchigo Yeah I've done that, it's annoying having to keep doing it though.

I have to get the version off the store even though it's more expensive because I just have to have it waiting for me on my PlayStation. I always just buy games digitally now. I had an incident with Metal Gear Solid V where I went to get it from the shop and they didn't have any, so I seriously had to drive to three different towns trying shops just to get my hands on it so I could play it on my day off. Finally got home at 11am (which is late for me because I like to start my gamin' before breakfast).

Then it was rubbish so that annoyed me.

Anyway, digital only for me now when it comes to games I am looking forward to.

@johncalmc Plus you get that cool countdown timer on the PS4 dash. And with it releasing on a bank holiday I can stay up and play it in my pants.
