Final Fantasy XIII - Midnight Release?

I have to admit, I fell out of the Final Fantasy series for a while, mainly because I bought an Xbox, and then a 360; so you can imagine how pumped I am to here that they are releasing it on 360. Strangely enough, however, I recently bought a PS3 so I pre-ordered the game on it. I can't wait for it to come out!
Does anyone know if Best Buy will be opening at midnight for it's release?

jmaxwell003,
I should have more information on this soon! I have checked with the business team to see what stores, if any would be having a midnight release.
I will post again when I have more information. Thanks for your patience!

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Crystal Edition

Does anyone know if Final Fantasy XIII-2 Crystal Edition will arrive to US (Best buy)? I wish to buy the Crystal Edition rather than the Collectors edition.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Kirtash,
Welcome to the forum!
I looked into this and it appears the Crystal Edition of Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be an EU release only. Unless something changes on Square’s end, it doesn’t look like we will get it in the US.

XBox, Final Fantasy, CIVREV, and other goodies

So, my boyfriend and I finally made the transition to a gamer family when we purchased a (new to us) XBox 360.
I'll be honest, I've never really been that much of a gamer, but now, my boyfriend are fighting over the XBox (where it used to be the computer).
So, I've been playing two games now. Final Fantasy XIII and Civ Rev.
Any thoughts on either games? What do people like or dislike about the games? I'm going to post more after I get back from my lunch break.
Don't take what I say as being absolute. There's always room for improvement.

I've thought the same thing Entropy, especially regarding the characters thus far. The charachter's personalities seem very two dimensional, and don't seem to grow much.
I do have to say, I like the idea of the Crystogenisis system, but I think the actual system leaves a little to be desired. I just wish there was more choices, more growth options for the characters in terms of what they do. I like the various roles so far (I'm LOVING the Sabatuer role), but it has come a long ways from the old days of there being a warrior, white mage, black mage and the like.
Also, I have to admit, visually, it's breathtaking. The colors are deep and the beasts are so impressive. I just wish I had a bigger TV to watch it on (plus, the font of the game is a little small on my 26" screen).
Don't take what I say as being absolute. There's always room for improvement.

Midnight Openings for Final Fantasy Type 0

Are there Midnight Openings for Final Fantasy Type 0? There is nothing on the Event page.

Hello there Rachel181-
I apologize that we are getting to this after the fact, but obviously as you’ve probably seen, we did not hold any midnight events for this title or others this week.
Generally if we are going to have a midnight release for a title, we will have an announcement on our Gaming Events page found here.
Thanks for posting!

The Best Older Games - Final Fantasy XI

I'm sure all of us can relate to this situation:
So your computer is a bit old. The gerbil inside is starting get a bit slow and long in whiskers, and so you've tallied your bills, your income, and your emergency fund. Then you've created a sixty-page Power Point presentation and presented it your your wife, complete with pie charts and graphs explaining exactly how and why you need a new computer.
It takes a few weeks, but she finally breaks down and agrees. Yes, you may go out and buy a new computer.
You are proud, and u unbeknown to her, you have carefully crafted your plans not to include just a computer, but the hottest, greatest machine in the face of the planet. It is of such superiority that you can classify it but under a single word.
'Sweet.' (with an emphasis on the 'e's)
You get your new machine and set it up. You install all your prerequisites and get ready for an awesome experiance. Except, your wife walks in, and she smiles so sweetly at you and states, 'as long as we have a new machine, you might as well go out and buy a new game, right?'
Naturally, you are suspicious. Yet, when the woman declares free-for-all on the budget, you're not going to argue. After all, you earned it, you should be able to spend it, right? Right? So you go back to the store and spend an hour deciding which game you want, and rush home with the fantastic grin that only gamers are capable of having.
You're excited.
Your wife, however, is sitting at the computer.
"Why honey," she said, all smiles, "Look, my facebook runs faster. I can now farm my grapes in half the time!"
"Great!" You say, annoyed, "When are you going to be done?"
"Oh," she states, wearing a bigger smile then even you had just a moment ago, "It's so fast! Probably not long. I do have six accounts, through, and I wanted to play some Pogo, as well!"
So you sit, and wait, and sit and wait, and soon it becomes obvious what has happened. Your wife has declared YOUR computer as HERS. You attempt to reason with her, and she throws your earlier conversation back at you. Yeah, yeah, family computer. Yes, yes, equal sharing, we can't afford to buy a machine for just one person. Yes.. but when is it my turn?
Never, apparently. You finally give up and acknowledge the fact that your computer time will be those moments when she's at work, and your not, or she's out shopping, and you managed to weasel out of going.
So, you were all excited about PC playing, so your Playstation 3, your XBox 360 and your Wii just isn't going to cut it today. You set up your old machine, thinking - well, at least you can find a GOOD game. A really good game, that will play on this older, less capable machine.
And thus.. you read this...
Final Fantasy XI
Designed by Square Enix, the authors of all the Final Fantasy series, this is the first (but not the last) Final Fantasy that is MMORPG. Which means it's a game played with hundreds of thousands of other players.
Well, it least it was in it's most popular time. Today, you can expect about three thousand people per 'server'.
Final Fantasy XI was at one point #2 behind World of Warcraft, and for good reason. It's a richly engaging online world, who's graphics more then beat World of Warcraft and most other online games without thought - even new, and modern ones. Yet, it requires very little resources to run.
The download is intense, admittedly, but I can attest, having had all sorts of internet connections in the past, that even the slowest 'broadband' speed will suffice. There are even some that still play under dial-up, through, that's pretty rare these days (and not recommended).
The world is rich and engaging, it's really fun, and you can use your PS2 style USB controller with it natively, once enabled in the configuration window. All buttons have function and it really saves you keyboard time, since the game was also authored for the Playstation 2. (It was the first MMORPG console game).
There have been numerous patches released, and everyone in the world is friendly - I would know, I just rejoined!

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster for PS Vita

Hi,
Will Best Buy carry the Final Fantasy X.X-2 HD Remaster for the Playstation Vita in store?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi trunner7667,
Thank you for pre-ordering at Best Buy, and thank you for being a My Best Buy member. I can answer your question today.
Store allotments of games like this typically depend to some degree upon the number of pre-orders that they take. By pre-ordering, you have initiated the process for the store to get at least enough to cover the pre-orders that they receive. While there are occasionally delays in shipping, stores should receive the game in time to have it available to you on the release date.
Even in the unlikely event that it isn't available that first day, however, your copy will be set aside as soon as it does arrive.
I hope this helps answer your questions, but please let me know if it you have any others.
Thanks,
Mike|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Midnight Release Website Problem

While it's not a major issue as to if I purchase from BB or a particular store I'm very curious if the midnight release checking site is broken or if it's lack of information that I'm missing.
I'm trying to use this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/misc/best-buy-gaming-events/pcmcat183100050001.c?id=pcmcat183100050001&t... link provided by the Press Release but when you search a local store it just brings you to the local store of your choosing and doesn't specifically state yes or no. Is there supposed to be a banner that says if they are doing an event or is the whole search part broken from any proper midnight lauch information?
This wouldn't be a major issue if the store actually had some form of speedy phone service. I spent 20 minutes on hold for supposedly two customers on the line ahead of me and had no indication of getting closer to the store employee. My local store has combined the customer service desk and front registers so essentially the former dedicated customer service rep is now a normal cashier most of the day and I'm curious if this will make all attempts at good customer service and or quick phone answers for a quick simple question. During the whole current GCU promo in which customer service was trying to find out the proper way of ringing up the promo for me had EVERY customer in the store stareing at her like she was satan because she was the 2nd cashier and was doing a good job trying to assist me but I could imagine some CS feeling pressured by the various eyes and maybe provide lower customer service to move the line along. Also, with the holidays coming I can imagine the annoyance of dealing with the holiday lines grabbing my pre-order that I'm there for to play at release and not saving it for a Christmas gift.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey again Laronvas,
Believe it or not, but the listings on this page are appearing as intended. When searching for locations in your area, only stores that have confirmed midnight opening events should appear in the drop-down menu that appears. Just keep in mind that store exclusions are subject to change without notice and that you should always contact your local store for full details before attending any midnight opening event.
I hope this helps.

Jittery (less than smooth) video with Final Fantasy XI

Is anyone else out there playing Final Fantasy XI?
My game play seems a little jittery. Not quite as smooth as I'd expect it to be. I I don't know that much about computer video, so i'll try my best to describe it. it's almost like if you were watching a movie and it was only showing you every 4th or 5th frame, so the motion looks "jumpy" or "jittery". when i go into menus during the game and have to use the mouse, i get the same thing, like the mouse pointer is kinda dragging behind where i am actually pointing the mouse. I'm pretty sure my system specs should be able to handle this game no problem, but i'm not sure. 64MB is the recommended memory for this game, and they also recommend the Gforce cards. would there be any problem with the Athlon 2400+ not being able to handle it? i sure wouldn't think so. is there anything i need to adjust to make this game run smoother?
- kip
an edit/update... the resolution i had the game set to play at was 1024, i bumped it down to 512 (there are no settings in between), and now the video and mouse action is much smoother, but i thought for sure my 64mb agp card could handle a game like this... could it be a setting of some sort that i am missing? i can play the game at 512, but of course the graphics suffer a lot at this lower resolution.

Please anyone who reads this and is considering a 5200 .. Dont.. they are unstable, they are slow, they are.. lol the list goes on... you can Kill an Oced 5200 with a standard ti4200.. i dont understand why MSI even MAKES these cards but, i guess they have to appease the market demand.. "does anyone really DEMAND to have a card that sucks??"
anyway .. without malice or forthought of intent i can only say buy 256-bit core chips or youll be sorry ..
PS I suppose it could look like im flaming a bit here but im not .. honest.. ive been using MSI Video for 3 yasuras now..
Its just after seeing all the posts and not having met one person who likes their 5200 {in life or online} drives me to post this..

Iphone 4 Midnight Release??

Today i spoke with someone frm my local walmart nd they said they might have a midnight release. Can anyone confirm this?? And what are the chances of this happening??

Walmart is going to be an iffy place to go no Thursday. I just spoke with a manager at the local walmart. She told me:
1. Walmart will only have the 16GB model (concurs with other posts).
2. They will start sales at the normal cell phone dept opening time (8AM at this store - usually 8 or 9 at most stores that have the section).
I tend to believe this one since it was the manager (she even had the inventory sheet but wouldn't let me see how many she's getting) and the store has just done a remodel of its phone section.
Personally I'm starting to think its time to look more at the apple store. The balance of the rumors seem to be that they will get the most inventory but they will be the center of the 'storm' as well.

Halo 4 Midnight release

I was wondering if your stores are going to be launching Halo 4 at midnight and if so, are there any in Arizona?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Keep a lookout on Best Buy's Gaming Events webpage. It should probably update soon and show which stores will have a midnight release for halo 4. For now, you can cross reference which stores are having a midnight opening for medal of honor, forza, and assassins creed. If your store is haveing a midnight opening for these games then chances are they will for halo 4 too. But I make no promises!

Will there be a midnight release for Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword?

I was looking in the best buy ads and saw that there was no ad about Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. I was wondering if anyone happens to know if there will be a midnight release for all of the stores, or just select stores. Thank you in advance.

Hello kbowman,
Welcome to the forum!
I looked into this and it does not look like we are doing a midnight release for Zelda. The game comes out on 11/20 so I recommend heading to the store when they open. I hope this helps!

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster for Vita - Art Cards

Sony announced that pre-orders for FFX/X-2 HD for the PS Vita will come with exclusive art cards. Can we confirm that Best Buy will also be participating in this, and if so can we have the product description updated?

Hello gothamhunter and others!
I apologize for not getting a quicker response to you all regarding the PS Vita version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster. I’m not sure whether or not pre-orders from Best Buy will include the art cards, but I have reached out to another team to get an answer for you all. Once I hear back, I will post back.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 for PS4

Hi, I have some questions.
Will Best Buy offer the Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster for the PS4? If so will there be an option to get the preorder bonuses with it?
Also, will Best Buy be selling the guidebooks for Bloodborne and Witcher 3 specifically?
There are no listings I could find online for any of these items but they are offered through other vendors. Thanks in advanced.

Hey AlphaNoodle,
I knew I was forgetting something in my last post...
Since we don't seem to have it available for pre-order yet, we'd be unable to say if a bonus would be offered for the game. What I can say is that there are a few different factors we must take into consideration when offering a bonus for specific purchases, and oftentimes that decision includes the providing vendor or manufacturer. It's certainly a possibility though!
Cheers,
