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 was super hyped to ply 13 sentinels, but I made the poor decision to start Ff14 about two and a half weeks ago and got high key addicted. Definitely planning on playing soon though, and will be keeping an eye on the thread for impressions. Hope to hear more good things!
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.
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.UPS says my order was delivered but it's nowhere to be seen. This sucks. I was so looking forward to starting this tonight.

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.
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.I'm tepidly interested in this but have many reservations.

Is Yuki one of the better girls? She's my main draw to the game, besides mecha. >_>I'm 6 hours in and the fan service is mostly front-loaded.

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.
Pre-ordered to get the art book. Shipped to me without the art book. Meh...
No. No missable trophies although you may have to replay a couple of chapters for the very few collectibles.
You're welcome!
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.
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 outGotcha, 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 the 2 modes randomly? 🤔

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.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.
Yup. Eng VA is a patch.
Sweet. Patch not needed then. Wanted to make sure JAPANESE is available. Game looks interesting. Will probably check it in a few weeks.
When did you preorder the game? Just curious, because I preordered mine on August 21 but it hasn't been shipped yet.
This guy ;-;Who else didn't receive their pre-order today? I want to commiserate. Fucking Amazon, I swear.
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.

Though a lot of the English VA's I recognize from anime dub's it is very well done.
You can also toggle it on/off at any time with R2.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.
