Amazon.ca is completely sold out of them, so I apparently didn't order early enough. Was gonna go digital but decided to walk a few miles to the nearest EBgames and they had it!

Did you order from Amazon? And did it ship? Because I ordered a week ago and it said that it still needed time to secure a shipping date, but when I looked at it the game was completely sold out. Seems like at least here in Canada they massively underestimated demand :/

But EBgames had extra copies so I was able to just snag one there.

Nah, I ordered from a local store. They ship from Quebec and sometimes are stupidly late with orders with no explanation, but then sometimes they're a week early. It's really weird and i'm slightly bummed that I can't play it yet, but it'll come sometime next week.

I'm still drowning in Disgaea 5 and Fire Emblem Echoes so I'll at least not be bored!

The game is charming and fun to play. I keep shifting between tending to my oasis and doing the main story line while bringing in more residents. it's a ton of fun and there's always something to do.

Mine's at level 7. As for the story...
Spoiler:
I need 16 residents to hold a festival and I'm slowly working on it. I'm not a fan of these rumor residents; it's kind of tough to figure out and some requests are confusing too; where am I suppose to get drums?

Only rumors you need to worry about is the ones that say someone is at a certain place. The ones that want shops will come to the Oasis on their own. The drums shop I got around the 2nd dungeon, after the festival. She's very useful there too :)
Mine is at level 10. Got a bit stuck in the last dungeon, as in spent over an hour running in circles, but all going well. The game is super cute and even the fighting is great. I'm rather bad at action games but the demo won me over :P

I'm just gathering

stamps for the gourmet festival

I'm having a lot of fun, even the battle system which I wasn't too sure about is good fun.

By last dungeon, do you mean the last last dungeon or just the last dungeon you were in? If you're at the last last dungeon, the game's story is pretty short then.

Sorry, meant last dungeon I visited. I think I must be half way through the main story.

I'm not that far in right yet. I think my oasis is level 3? Almost level 4.
The intro gave me so many feelings honestly, I love the way it was done...
I love Esna, she's so sweet and precious. ;u;

Also by pure coincidence my seedling looked just like her brother! Purple skin and gold eyes.

I love this game so far. *u*

I'm jealous of you guys. I pre-ordered online so I won't get mine until Monday. Glad to see all the good reviews though. Loved the demo but (rarely) the demo can sometimes make the game seem much better than it is :shock:

Any begging tips for when I do get it or is it all pretty much self explanatory?

Aaaaand the game's selling badly. Reached 28th place on the charts in its debut in the UK. What a shame to see a charming new IP struggle like this, but I saw it coming with the overall lack of marketing.
