Also...the status might have changed because they've withdrawn/charged for the collection. Anybody receive tracking information yet?
What I figure is not until tomorrow when business hours start depending where you are. I also sometimes do not receive tracking info depending on the carrier, but for something like this I'd expect it.

I don't wanna sound like an ass, but if some of us do get it early and play it early, can we make sure everything is put into a different thread, at least until the 29th? I, and I assume most of us, wouldn't want to get super spoilerinoed by accident.
Sound like an ass? Mate, you're being way too soft even.

I say that not only should any actual information before the release go in its own thread, anyone who actually spoils any real information in different threads should be (temp)banned.

Really liking Noctis' line. I hope they keep (tweaked, of course) Ignis' scene with Noctis about revenge and all that. After seeing the Judgment trailer, I can totally see when and where it could happen.

Tangentially, I was looking at the lyrics for the two pieces we heard in the old trailers - Somnus and Omnis Lacrima. Some snippets:

Omnis Lacrima said:
Our master has succumbed
To endless sleep
...
With him sleeps power.
Sleeps our beloved sky
Begging for forgiveness
...
Can we once again see the dawn?
...
Eternal, tormenting
in his sleep.
Somnus said:
And in this endless night,
In despair
He may see the dawn
That will awake him in the next morning

It's pretty amazing we got Somnus lyrics so soon (like 2006 soon) and the first time we learnt about the whole Plague of the Stars was 2014 (I mean, "endless night" would usually be a hyperbole or metaphor, but in this universe it's also something that actually happens or at least can happen).

Omnis Lacrima I see as talking about whatever long slumber Noctis goes into (considering how related he is to sleep and how prominent his sleeping on the throne was/is). Can't wait for the game to show all these implications. We also have some interesting lyrics in the songs Florence+The Machine did.

this reads Noctis Lucis Caelum for me.

also the plague of stars been alluded since 2006 is amazing.

That and the fact that the official artwork has a figure sleeping on the logo. Sleep is a major part of this game even if it hasn't been depicted that way. Really loving the themes in this game.

Yeah, Somnus, Insomnia... Let's see what shape the whole sleeping theme takes. Also, I don't know if Carbuncle will have some sort of plot importance or will only be mostly irrelevant beyond gameplay mechanics.

Curious to see when the launch trailer will release (might not happen considering we've gotten a lot of coverage these weeks, but it'd be weird) and how spoilery or not it'll be. I feel like the Judgment trailer, editing it to make it more marketable, would make a great final trailer.

Nomura being at the FFXV launch party would be like Nomar Garciaparra coming back to celebrate the Red Sox 2004 World Series victory. I'm just realizing I'm probably the only one here that gets this reference.

Nope. Nomaaaaaa played pickup ball with us on a couple of occasions when he came back on campus. Maybe he was prepping for his role as Mr. Mia Hamm.
