So I guess level-5's writers must have done a pretty good job, as they seem to have fooled this EDGE reviewer into believing Ghibli themselves penned it. Although the reviewer does still mention that the story is uncharacteristically cliché for Ghibli.

Thanks Riku. I'm not going to lie, I am somewhat tempted by that wizards edition, especially as it seems to have come down in price. Still not sure if I can justify it...but that book looks cool.

FUCK YOU NAMCO!

I preordered last summer and I mean July. I check the order status today and says they won't ship my copy because it's sold out. WTF? BULLSHIT!

If it was back in the PS1 days we would be waiting about a year.

I remember the hell of waiting for Kingdom Hearts 2 6 months after the Yanks got it.

Now Namco claims my order does not exist and they did not make enough copies for pre orders and charged the 100$! So they charged me for something they say I never ordered then don't ship it to me. FUCK THIS.
I ordered this in July checked the status daily for4 the past several days and my order is clearly there. But won't ship me a copy but gladly steal my fucking money it took me seven months to save up for. That's it i'm really pissed off and taking serious action on them.

I am not surprised Ryudo you saw the way they did me with all my pre-orders, luckily they never got my card info, now I really am glad I didnt try to pre-order through them. But yeah the whole nino-starter website, the wizards edition, all ended up being a crock of shit apparently.

At anyrate, i will be buying this used once its in the bargain bin, the experience I have had trying to get my pre-orders straightened out was handled with horrible customer service. Apparently the demanded far exceeded the product and I guess they had to fuck over a few of the pre-orderers in the process. No way am I buying this new on day one like I was originally planning to. Not like I will have time to play it anyway when it comes out, I really wanted to support this as much as possible but namco has fucked it all up for themselves.

:-s
You have unusually bad luck with these kinds of things, it seems.
All I can say is if they aren't sending you anything, then they aren't charging you. There are a lot of rules in place when it comes to online shopping, and they can get in serious trouble if they pull something like that. So don't freak out too much. They're too prominent a name to just fuck the customer over and walk away.

Erm... no, my order's still just fine. The ninostarter site was there to add extra items into the Wizard's Edition, and the Wizard's Edition is still slated for release.
I don't see how any of that is a crock of shit...

Contact your bank and get them to contact Namco about it, it's the only way you can resolve this. I take it you bought it off Namco's website?
