Just finished the game lool.

Yeah I find it a bit of a bummer that they shipped early if you ordered from the square enix store and had absolutely no restriction on playing it right away. People have had the game over a week which sucks for everyone else who has to wait.

What job did you play? Assuming you did solo and a tank/pets?

At a later point today I will update the OP and start building some tutorial sections and FAQ on the reserved 2nd post.

So as many people have stated they plan to do, you may want to avoid the thread if you can't get the game for awhile. I've been doing my best not to spoil and go haywire on research.

Amazon:Allow me a moment to review this.
I'm sorry that this happened.
Final Fantasy Explorers - Nintendo 3DS correct?

Me: yes

Amazon:In this case, I would to apologize since this usually does not happens. Also, I want to extend your Amazon Prime membership for a free extra month and upgrade the shipping speed of this item if you still want to receive it.

Me:Thank you, when do you think it would get here?

Amazon: Since it is currently out of stock, we will send you an email when we have the estimated date.

Me: Do you have any estimate on when you will get it in stock? I don't wanna wait a week
this item said amazon prime eligible, advertised via email as "same day delivery" if you preorder

Amazon: Since it is out of stock, it could be at least a month.
I understand, and I'm sorry that you had that problem, as I explained, this usually does not happen.

Time to cancel and go to gamestop lol.

Apparently this game is selling out everywhere unexpectedly fast.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyExplorers/comments/42rxe1/psa_amazon_oversold_preorders/

Apparnetly Amazon oversold and is struggling to keep up with demand according to reddit.

Yikes.

Hope you get that sorted out ><

Check again now for the eshop. It supposedly updates around noon EST which is around now.

If it says out for delivery you should be good. Everyone I know who is stuck on amazon says it hasn't even shipped yet.

I'm sure this will be more fun than a Capacity Points party. Oh, the monotony!

***Ninja Edit*** - Well, I just called my local GameStop and they've already sold out. Not expecting any new shipment until next week. Same thing at BestBuy too. WTH?

When I get it, I'd be down for playing with people here, but I'm very much into taking my time and savoring a game like this. Hope it has good replay value too.

For a few hours at least, Final Fantasy Explorers is a charming little adventure that’s fun to play alone with your monster buddies or with real-life friends. But repetitive quests, the lack of a serious challenge until late in the story and a poor travel system eventually broke the charm spell that Explorers had cast upon me.

I don't usually agree with IGN though

The problem with reviewing nowadays is that people are so eager to write a review before the game comes out or by launch day that they just half *** it and compare it to other games.

Almost all the reviews parallel it to monster hunter which is honestly ok to a point, but you can't just review a game and compare it to something out directly then be done.

Can't say I blame them I guess. The moment you finish writing a review for one game, you have a deadline for the next.

omg... If I managed to get lucky enough to preorder something rare like that and have it cancel because of my bank, some heads would be rolling.

If it can offer some form of self-imposed challenge, then that's fine for me. Many RPGs have a certain point where the challenge can dip as you've acquired some items or abilities that give you a significant edge and normal fights turn into a chore.

Couple of gamestops around me have a couple in stock but i dont get out of work for another 3 hours. called target/walmart and they are out/employees said they dont get any til friday... so who really knows on that.

Hopefully i can find one after work. Not really wanting to do digital since I hate the eshop and nintendo's online store.
