Actually the theme is available on 27th for European like us (that, if you have preordered the game copy with the theme included as bonus).
I wondered where the theme was as well, back when i preordered the game, and i found out that just in North America the preorder bonuses are available straight away.
Well, its just one day anyway.

I remember talking with my cousin back in the day when it was still Versus and we never got any new information for the whole year and we were like "if this game isn't at E3 this year then it's canceled"... spoilers, it wasn't at E3 that year. Several years later and my copy of the game should be shipping today and arriving on Tuesday.
I still refuse to believe it!
I won't until the game is inside of my PS4 and it boots up.
The game that I've been waiting for for 10 years.....to be finally available in just 3 more days? Nah, I still can't!

According to Kotaku (even after the XV reveal), Versus was cancelled. XD
To me, though, it's more like Schrodinger's Video Game -- it's both cancelled and not-cancelled until you look in the box... except that you can't actually look in the box, because it was replaced with a similar-but-not-identical box.

Fair enough. I'd take reviews with a grain of salt though.
It definitely seems like it. More impressions are coming in saying there IS a story but you have to go exploring to uncover it by doing side quests, listen to the radio, and other stuff.
I think the major issue here is that a FF game has never told its story like this before since fans are used to watching cutscenes to get the story. Hand fed in other words.
It is quite a leap to be fair, but one I take no issue with since I'm the type to explore every corner of the map in games.

...are people forgetting a little game from nearly two decades ago called Final Fantasy VII? >.>
Because the way I remember that game, you only got the full backstory about the guy Cloud modeled himself after if you went to the basement of the mansion in Nibelheim unprompted, and there was a party member who you could miss entirely even though he was more tied up in Sephiroth's backstory than anyone other than Cloud.
With that said, I think what FFXV is trying to do might be a bit different. Its core ambition is "road game," and that means focusing on internal development and relationships between traveling companions more than external plot development. And while there's no way to know how well that's executed until one actually plays the game, it does seem like "the party dynamic is great but nothing happens" is exactly the sort of reaction one might expect if someone went into that sort of game expecting something more plot-heavy.
(I'm of the opinion that, however it turns out, FFXV is going to be fascinating to analyze.)
