lol I'm in this same exact boat. Started playing FFXIV with the new and improved free trial. Currently towards the end of Stormblood. I preordered this game but I think I'm going to wait until I finish Shadowbringers to play. I unfortunately can't juggle games to save my life and I always end up dropping one. Nice to have something to look forward to, though. Game sounds great.
I'm one of those people that really misses actual game manuals, but the one included in-game is really excellent, and should be the standard.
Accessible in-game, with an intro, illustrations, and a proper layout, full colour and it doesn't just open your web browser. Love it.

Apparently my order is stuck at UPS and Amazon says it's out for delivery but UPS says it's just sitting at the warehouse.
UPS says my order was delivered but it's nowhere to be seen. This sucks. I was so looking forward to starting this tonight.
Mine showed up randomly. Hope they just accidentally marked it as delivered and you get it soon, that's happened to me once or twice.
I'm tepidly interested in this but have many reservations. How bad is the fanservice aside from the obvious? How important are girls/women to the story and their depictions? The main cast is split 50/50 but that doesn't mean every character will be give the same amount of focus or importance.
So far the fanservice-y stuff was pretty mild and pretty concentrated at the beginning prologues. I would say honestly so far at least character focus and importance is pretty well balanced for at least the 4-5 hours I've played. I totally get having concerns with this having gross anime vibes and I'm pretty impressed with them telling a fairly bizarre story without the bad sort of tropes they could use.
My Amazon copy arrived via UPS this afternoon with artbook no problem in Chicago.
Don't know if it matters, but I preordered the first day it was available.

I'm 6 hours in and the fan service is mostly front-loaded. It's not always present, but it does pop up now and again. It's not all naked girls in robots moaning, most of the robot pilot portraits are very mild, and there's really only one scene towards the start that is real rough. The girls are handled pretty well, but it is hit or miss. Out of the main female characters so far (maybe 7?), I'd say 5 are good to great, 1 is on the line, and 1 is a little oof.
It goes between having great female representation and having its issues for sure, but I think some of the comments on it have blown it out of proportion.
Did 3 prologues, loving it so far. Okino owning Takatoshi is funny as hell and sweet, too. As people have said, things move pretty fast, which is great!
Pre-ordered to get the art book. Shipped to me without the art book. Meh...
Nearly through the prologue, which is still lengthy enough. Nice pace to the story to the extent that I wouldn't mind if it went a tad slower, as it jumps about a lot. Vanillaware's art in HD is a sight to behold on an OLED -- really beautiful environments and top class animation.

Is Yuki one of the better girls? She's my main draw to the game, besides mecha. >_>
Does the rough scene involve Iori? She seems like the flagship girl, seeing as how she was the focus of that creepy JPN PS4 theme.
When did you preorder the game? Just curious, because I preordered mine on August 21 but it hasn't been shipped yet.
No. No missable trophies although you may have to replay a couple of chapters for the very few collectibles.
You're welcome!
Just make sure to read the goals before each combat mission, some require certain team compositions. You'll need S ranks to unlock certain glossary items.
Gotcha, thanks!
Also, I finished the tutorial part, I can now choose between combat missions and adventure mode, any recommended order? Should I just swap between both modes randomly? 🤔
You'll occasionally get locked out of someone's story until you clear a specific combat mission, and vice versa. I'd say just go between the two at your own pace as much as possible. I played the combat missions in large chunks and burned myself out
Yeah I can see that, i'm not a huge fan of the combat missions :P
Guess I'll just do what the game did in the tutorial part, play a story part -> do a combat mission, repeat.
Thanks!
I don't know what scene that poster was referencing but about 10 hours in and I can safely say Yuki is one of the best characters so far.
Sweet. Patch not needed then. Wanted to make sure JAPANESE is available. Game looks interesting. Will probably check it in a few weeks.

On the 2nd of August, so plenty early, I would think. Still, likely just an issue with where I ordered it from (Gamestop in Ireland), so I'd imagine most people who buy elsewhere will be fine.
God damn this game is polished. Want to switch between English and Japanese mid-conversation? Launch game, get to title screen, load save file, begin playing in less than ten seconds total? Rewatch an old segment and resume exactly where you are without losing any progress whatsoever?
Also this, etc.
Edit: One of the best things about the manual is the character list at the beginning, so you can use it as a reference chart if you forget someone's name or whatever.

God damn it really early in the game but there's some real adventure game logic in this. It took me like 30 minutes of looping dialogue to figure out how to feed a cat.
About 2 minutes into the game.

"Partial Nudity"
Well, they weren't kidding. I think only Kill la Kill IF managed to showcase its reason for its rating quicker.
Also WOAH, you can actually adjust the timing of the auto-advance? I didn't think that feature could get any better, but this is super nice to have as someone who tries to use it whenever possible.

Though a lot of the English VA's I recognize from anime dub's it is very well done.
