Looks like my package will be here Tuesday.
I was wondering what the heck UPS was bringing to me, finally saw the info on UPS. Couldn't remember haha.

Weird, just checked mine & it says "Fulfillment Status: Awaiting Processing". Maybe those who got the X-otic Edition are getting them first?

It seems far too early for these to have shipped. Perhaps they have created shipping labels but haven't yet prepared them for UPS?

I don't seem to have a method of checking my order status either...

I would imagine since it's suppose to be 3-day shipping & they said they'd try to have them sent so they arrive in the mail on launch day, perhaps they'll be shipped Thursday-ish?

I'd agree with that but it says the label was made 10/30 and departed Los Angeles on 10/31.
Scheduled delivery is Nov 2nd.

My shipping confirmation just got sent as well. I ordered the Game+OST combo. I am in Guadalajara, Mexico and it also says it should arrive in 3 days. I doubt it would be THAT fast buy my Amazon order for Corpse Party and Child of Light came in really quick so I hope to have it by this weekend!

Oh snap, checked & my X-clusive copy says it shipped. Guessing it'll arrive Thursday or Friday.

Did they say how many tickets would be hidden? Just one in each type of LE? Hopefully one of us will win.

Was it mentioned if the LEs would be numbered, considering how limited they are?

Can't wait to see what the "surprise" is as well. Maybe someone will get their LE early & we can find out soon?

Where are you guys finding this tracking info?

Why does my shipping info have united states in Spanish on it?

Why am I asking all these questions?

I was just sent an email update stating mine was shipped. I don't think I had any other means of tracking.

There's emails being shipped out saying your copy has been shipped. Though no idea on how to check the shipping info itself.

Yeah, I noticed that random bit of Spanish at the bottom under my info, "Estados Unidos"........which seems rather odd.

Got my shipping email for the OST. It's shipped via USPS to Canada so no tracking info, but it says 3 days estimated arrival like everyone else.

Looks like only the X-Otic editions get tracking. The rest of us (in the US) get Priority Mail without tracking.

I opted to get my copy delivered to a PO Box, so I'm in the Priority Mail boat as well. X-Otic order shipped, no tracking number provided.

I, uh, might still stream the game a bit tomorrow.

Mine shipped... to my family instead of where I'm living currently. I guess changing it on my account page didn't actually update the order, oops. Still, even with having someone forward it it'll probably show up before/on the 10th, so it's pretty neat how early they got shipped out!

So....will the OT still go up on Tuesday, i.e. the official release date, or this weekend considering most of us should be getting our LEs around the end of the week (Thursday or Friday)?

I'll be AMAZED if mine arrives Wednesday, but Los Angeles to Michigan is rather far.

I've actually posed this question privately already. Not really my call.

Priority Mail is generally a two day service within the lower 48 regardless of distance, in my experience. UPS might be a tad slower if it was shipped Ground.

The review embargo ended today, so you should expect to see a bunch of reviews today.

I had forgotten I had dinner plans tonight so I might not be streaming as planned. Maybe a really short stream if I get back early enough. My PSTV was left running the game for a few hours unattended at Anime USA over the weekend so it'll be interesting to find out what state it's in .-.

Admittedly it's probably not going up tomorrow because it's not ready yet orz

Shipping box is huge.

Edit:
The actual box is beautiful. Nice linen box and organized neatly inside.

I didn't win the raffle though, but there's a large button included that has a nice soft touch feel to it. I'll put it where the game box goes.

I'll let other users post pics for now.

protip: no matter how good you are at rhythm games, don't use hard mode to start

it's quite literally worse than EXH in IIDX, I failed a song by missing 3 notes over 20 seconds

Guessing the button is that "surprise" they were talking about?

Guess the dogs will inform me if the package arrives, considering the mail carrier puts large packages on our doorstep.

Wow, that bad? I'm on normal, seems kind of lenient. Of course, I hopped on this game right off of playing Persona 4 Dancing All Night which has a hilariously difficult life gauge for what it is.

It's technically out next week. PM Studios is just shipping copies for those who ordered the LEs from their site.

Ok, so here's the deal. HM gauge is still bullshit, but shield in this game is borderline broken and there's no reason not to use it for clears because it hits every note of a hold at the cost of one point and resets between songs in world tour, which makes all-comboing things much easier than it should be.

Ah okay. Yeah, figured it was just a small mistake & wouldn't affect the shipping, but thanks for clearing things up.

Good, that'll make the process of getting 99,999 combo FOR A THIRD TIME more tolerable.

First big difficulty jump appears to be at 8 of 12, the game starts asking you to do more complicated patterns with scratches in them instead of outside of them.
