I preordered as soon as I saw it was available for Europe. Can't wait to play it, I've been desiring it ever since the first announcement.

I just discovered it last month so everything is still pretty new to me.

Anyone else picking this up in about a month from now? I've actually never owned a 3DS before and there wasn't much else I wanted for Christmas from my family.

It looks pretty amazing and has been described as a small/light version of ffxi/ffxiv. You can play online with friends and something about 20ish jobs to play from. I'll probably post info as it comes out and maybe updates as I play it or if anyone else want's to contribute or team up in the future.

I wish I could partake in the grand master stuff but I lack a mobile device that is compatible currently :(

Wasn't aware this will be on 3DS. I'm a sucker for an FF with a job system.

Hmm, DRK, MCH, or RDM...? ; ;

EDIT: Also stickied because megathread.

I was actually super shocked to find out nobody created a thread or even discussed this game that much. Probably because 3DS not as popular with ppl here maybe?

Either way with 21 jobs and over 200 quests with up to 4 players, should be pretty amazing. Plus legendary (relic) weapons too. I like that you can get Thyrus from FFXIV.

I love the 3DS. I'm now looking forward to this as well as Hyrule Warriors Legends. If we were getting Bravely Second any time soon I'd look forward to that too.

BS if feb in Europa and march in USA.

Well then I'll look forward to it.

Ive found a 3DS laying in a drawer here in my house. Not sure when I bought it nor why but I can give it a try.

Seeing how it reminds me FFXI is interesting. Lets see if I can get a pre-order for Brasil somewhere.

waiting for an actual review of the game before i decide to get or not.

It's the best game ever.

Don't need to have played it to know!

^

It looks fun and it's FF so I'll probably get around to playing it (I'm just playing XIII: LR now..) but I'm interested in how fun the co-op is.

It looks like monster hunter, tactics, and star ocean had an inappropriate relationship and made a baby.

Even if it's not 100% stellar, there's no way it won't be fun.

just heard about this today

Are you guys buying the CE?

Looks like the CE is backordered/waitlisted on the official store. I'm on the fence about which version I want still. I would like the Thyrus from XIV since it was my first relic there though.

I did! I don't generally buy many games, so it's okay to get profigate on those rare occasions; especially when it's something that I want badly like in this case.

*shrugs* self xmas present

Getting more and more excited for this...

I'm not entirely familiar with the 3DS, how exactly will you be able to communicate with people if at all lol?

I saw for triforce heroes you can communicate through emotes and gestures.

Brand new multiplayer trailer!

I'll have to see how all the jobs work otherwise I'd prolly stick with MNK

Samurai and Ninja look fun. Depending how they did Blue Mage in this game, it looks to be interesting too.

no Dancer 0/10

I wonder what I'm going to main. Knowing me ranger, machinist, dragoon and ninja seem the highest candidates +_+

DRK, MCH, RDM, PLD, or Sage.

Damn you SE! I don't want to have to bust out my old 3ds. Would rather use my vita. But this game looks good...

Preordered the CE and can't wait for it to arrive! Sorry to see no DNC, but I'll for sure have a BRD in my party. :)

Sadly I just have an old 3ds. Wish they made a new 3ds for ff explorers i would probably buy it xD
