Love that artwork. These editions are always too expensive for me though. Not a collector- just the games.

Glad the Switch is getting non mainstream games. Unlimited weeb power!

The European Special edition just came in the mail for me this morning. I was really taken aback by how large the whole package was. I was NOT expecting it to be that big, haha. I am also trying to decide which cover I like more, the North American, or European version. It is nice the NA version has the Characters, and such, but I also like the stark and simplistic style of the EU version. Awesome content in both, regardless!

So what’s the verdict? How’s the localization? Is there any censorship?

Carl just started so we should have our review soonish. So far it seems like a pretty solid localization, English voices are surprisingly good too.

I really want it, even though I still have no NSwitch, but Amazon won’t ship it to Mexico. Damn.

Does it have JP option for VAs incase I don’t like the dub?

My special edition will be staying sealed until a year from now when the cock sucking pieces of shit at Nintendo have finished slowly trickling out the rest of the content.

If I remember right, they said that would be a free download.

The boobed mousepad from the Agarest of War CE smells funny.

It’s pretty, but it’s just extra stuff that I’ll never get any use out of.

My copy of the EU Special Edition has being delayed a bit, but given that I don’t actually have Switch yet, who gives a damn. By the time I get a Switch near Christmas it should be here.

I prefer the look of the EU edition than the US one, and the EU version also gets a Jewel Case for the soundtrack instead of a paper sleeve and also has the game in a proper plastic case, along with the steelbook, where the US is steelbook only.

But the US edition gets a hardcover art book while the EU one is softcover, so I guess Americans can’t complain too much this time.

Great game so far. I’m sad I didn’t get this when I could.

You can download the JP voices before you even get the game.
