Ni No Kuni Wrath of The White Witch

[Xmo]

kinda pissed right now because I'm trying to get cosmic a copy and they've cancelled it and I'm asking another member to get my own copy. I'm going to Cypress tomorrow for some personal stuff and that's the city where Namco Bandai Headquarters is so if anybody would like to do a complaint letter, I'll be happy to march straight into their headquarters and give it to them. Just PM it to me and I'll print it

Edit: Never mind that is only Bandai lol

It's not just with this release, the namco store/digital river people are totally inept.
I've had nothing but bad experiences dealing with them. It took 4 different orders before they sent my enslaved statues. That is to say that I had to try to get those pieces 4 separate times before they actually sent them. They kept fucking up my orders, again and again; and they even straight up stole some money from me. They pocketed shipping fees for orders that were never sent.

And lord help you if you have to contact them. Their customer service email system is atrocious. You'll get the run around 'til your head spins off!

That link was used by customer service to re-order cancelled pre orders, but someone posted it on the internet, that's why they are shipping them first. One thing I don't understand, why open new pre orders on 17th if they can't even ship orders from the ninostarter campaign

[MortalMonday]

Also if anyone can help me get a wizards edition copy, I would really appreciate it. Can't afford to lay eBay prices,

[Madigan]

and BTW the soundtrack cd only has 2 songs. Why waste money making a cd for 2 songs...

oh man sorry to hear that what a mess, the stupid most annoying frustrating part is that they charged or authorised my card a day before that stupid digital river cancellation message, meaning i could have got it and will all work but now i have to wait 21 days to get my money back in my debit card because they put my amount on hold and their cancellation notice doesn't help to release the hold early but will call the bank either way....

The same can't be said about the CE...

This. No idea where that talk of "not getting good reviews" has been coming from. It got decent reviews in Japan as well. It's the sales that weren't as you'd think, where the DS version got the lion's share.

And seriously? 2 songs on the CD? Wow. That is beyond awful.

PAL got cheated mainly because of pricing imo. Bad enough we missed out on a fair bit of contents.

What were you expecting? It's a standard type of card. I think a lot of people need to get their expectations/entitlement issues realigned, I guess. True, the NiNoStarter version you would image a box quality more like Square's Dissidia quality (or XIII-2).

I'm quite certain most people won't mind so much when they actually get it.

I brought a game once with a soundtrack cd included that lasted 30 seconds so 2 songs isn't out of the ordinary for me.
