No, you're not. I think it would be kind of hilarious to have Martin just randomly start congratulating Cecil for things even when he isn't there.

Ares/Alice: Why are you congratulating Cecil?
Martin: I'm practicing so I won't embarrass him on his wedding day.

*Cecil's Wedding Day after Martin says the line*
Cecil: You know, after hearing you say that so many times, it feels a bit insincere.
Martin: :(

With how much text is reported to be in the game and how many errors there were at the start, there is probably at least one (probably more) out-of-place voice line in there that slipped through the cracks. Martin may congratulate Cecil at the wrong time and place yet! :P Plus, with the new system that doesn't seem to be in the Japanese version, there might be a way to break it somehow that the playtesters didn't catch. The world will know in due time.

I can not explain how excited I am for this game. Even if it isn't as good as RF4.

The world of RF4 and the characters gave me such a cozy, contented feeling every time I played...I hope I get that out of this game too.

Looks like some copies are appearing early. XD Apparently XSeed has also begun shipping. Secretly hoping I might see it over the weekend.

My copy won't even ship until release day or even a day or two after it. :/ Oh well, I'm actually pretty darned busy IRL and not sure I'll be able to play it right away anyway, though I still find myself mildly disgruntled about it. I think the earliest possible opportunity I'll have to play will be March 26th, if it arrives several days earlier than currently predicted. If not, then I won't be able to play until April 2, most likely. But beggars can't be choosers...I am receiving the game as a gift, after all! I'd rather wait longer on it than pay for it myself, lol.

Not that it matters since I'm getting it digitally, but I'm working over the weekend so it wouldn't matter if I got it early anyway XD That being said, my work schedule just happened to work out so that I get seven days off in a row just in time for the game to release! So that's nice.

Hope you guys get your copies early/on time!

I'm going to pick up my preorder at GameStop on Tuesday afternoon, but I'm not sure if I will start playing right away or not. Usually I start getting crazy excited by now, it's less than a week, (I was practically dying to play the last few days before Arceus was released, likely fueled by some people playing early) but weirdly that's not happening. I am looking forward to it as a new game I might potentially like, but not with the hype of my favorites evidently. Hopefully that will change once I have it in hand.

I'm a bit nervous if my copy comes early since it's supposed to rain all next week where I live. When I preordered One World, FoMT, and PoOT, they all arrived on my doorstep, but my doorstep always floods with water when it rains. I don't want the cardboard packaging to get wet because then it might cause water damage to the box inside, but I also doubt that the deluxe sized version I preordered is going to fit in my mailbox. Curse you, mother nature! :shock:

I've been replaying my save file of RF4s to prep myself for RF5...and because I was getting impatient from the wait. I'm tempted to start a new file to marry Margaret since she returns in RF5, but then I remember that this is a 50 hour game with purely random events, and I don't have that kind of free time irl.

Three days from release! My excitement keeps growing, honestly. I replayed RF4 over the past couple weeks, and I love that game with all my heart, but it did remind me what a much-needed step legitimate SSM marriage was for RF5. (I also don't mind that RF5 reportedly has less story content; I'd like to see all the game has to offer but don't have the free time to tackle a super challenging post-game arc like the one in RF4.) I probably won't be able to play on release day due to the way my campus handles packages, but I'll get to it on the 23rd.

It seems like as copies are being shipped out (with some arriving early) people are getting more excited on social media, which is nice to see. The framerate is still a matter of debate, but after watching some preview streams, it seems like dips are mostly restricted to entering and exiting buildings. There isn't too much up-to-date footage of later combat being published online right now, but from what I've seen on Reddit, people who have played seem to agree the combat runs smoothly enough. I also had a thought the other day that one of the beloved popular HM/SoS games (and my personal favorite) is Animal Parade, which always suffered from framerate drops. If the dips are mostly a non-issue in RF5 post-patch, I feel like Western players will learn very quickly to look past them.

I'm not expecting the game to be flawless, of course, but I do think it will be good, and I have a feeling I'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed RF4. We'll see in a few days!

Mine shipped but it’s not expected until the 22nd. The release day. While I hope it actually arrives sooner (which I doubt) I’m okay with that and I’m super hyped! I haven’t touched my rf4 copy much and while I’m tempted to play it while I wait, I also don’t want to get burnt out before I can play 5.

I'm the same way. I mean, I'm still not hyped, so not that part, but...whenever a new Bokumono game is coming up or any other game I'm really anticipating from a series I love, I never go back and replay old versions to tide myself over, because I find it takes the freshness out of the new game to play a similar game right before it. RF4 especially I would not be willing to play right before RF5, since RF5 is basically a clone of RF4, gameplay-wise. For me it would make RF5 feel stale.

Right now I'm most interested in finding out if I'll get excited when I HAVE the game. It's not like I didn't love RF4...I totally did. So hopefully this one will catch me once I start it. My circumstances atm are such that I actually don't know when I can start it, but I think the latest I could possibly have a first try at it would be April 3, unless there's an unusual shipping delay.

I'm getting it digital too. I'm pretty hyped rn. I probably won't be able to seriously play it until May though. :(

I'm getting the physical, but I was numb to it (usually numb to stuff during finals week because of all the stress) until it hit me that it's 3 days away and during my spring break so now with pretty much being done with this semester it's starting to hit me like a brick and I am so excited for it now :heart:

Who are you guys going to date? for me it's a toss up between luca, lyka (sp?), beatrice, and scarlett for who to date since s/s marriage has been implemented.

I am pre-ordering the physical copy and will be picking it up right after work! Yay for me.

I can't tell who I'll end up going for in the end, but my best guess is Martin. Second choice from first impressions would be Ryker, and my last (but still good) choice would be Reinhard. Murakumo is a currently distant possibility. Cecil and Lucas don't look like possibilities, to me, at this point where I haven't actually met them first hand and am going by looks and what tiny little clips I've seen and heard of them. Martin was my initial clear favourite and I think he still is, though I did like some lines I saw from Ryker and his design is good, so they're both very good contenders for a first go. Reinhard came across rather prim/snooty in one of his clips, which was a BIG turn-off for me, so that put me off him a bit, but it's hard to make a good judgement based on so little, so...those are all just initial impressions.
