    Barring any unforeseen disasters, I should finally get the game in my mailbox today. I was getting real antsy these last couple of days, too. In the 2 weeks that it'd been out in Japan, I didn't hear anything about it. But now that it's been out in the States for 3 days and is still sitting at a 90 Metacritic score, even sources that wouldn't normally give two shits about the game are starting to talk. I've actually had to unsubscribe from a couple of YouTube channels.

    I'm excited about the game picking up steam outside of its already established fanbase, though. I mean, I always get irritated when bandwagon jumpers give praise for things that other games in the series (or genre, in some cases) have already done, and then say there's no reason to go back and play the old stuff. But if it means this franchise could become Square Enix's 4th pillar of JRPGs, like the original Nier was intended to be, I guess I'll just have to deal with that.

    Anyway, who else is playing it or planning to pick it up? For those without a PS4, it's also getting a Steam release March 17th.

      Editing … Was that sarcasm? :P Yes, KH is still Square Enix Japan's best-selling franchise after FF and DQ.

      Editing … I don't like Kingdom Hearts 1, but liked Birth By Sleep. I respected how Nier was so weird and had great music, but the combat didn't entertain me, and I found it overly manipulative in trying to get me to care about that little girl.
