Couldn't get the limited edition, but I have this game pre ordered. The hype is real.

I have an Radeon 7870 (which is the recommended gpu) and the demo ran at a constant 60fps at max settings. I'm hoping that holds out throughout the game and wasn't just the area in the demo being relatively easy to render.

This will be the game to tide me over until Zelda. I enjoyed Zestiria enough to beat it, and if Berseria is a better game I'm there day one. I have it pre-purchased on Steam already.
I'm guessing malaks are the equivalent of seraphim from ToZ but they're still visible to humans?

I had the reg edition with the same delivery estimate. I talked with cs, but they couldn't commit to a delivery time. So I just cancelled, and got it from Best Buy. I mean if you don't mind waiting, you could just keep it since you have the CE.
Correct.

Here is the thread with the official statement and chatter about it:

Could you delete the info on
in the OP? That's kind of a major plot spoiler.

done, I just deleted the whole section...
I wish sites would mark these things as "plot spoilers" instead of casually listing them with the rest of the characters...
I've been hitting F5 all day, but nothing....
I literally just finished Zestiria last night after 60 grueling hours.
That game just refused to end, with so much forced padding that it made the WW triforce hunt feel breezy. My interest and motivation nosedived hard in the back third as the story also went completely off the rails and became a confusing, illogical mess doing whatever it can to attempt an explanation to what is happening. My desire to engage with the muddled skill system and even character skits checked out long before the conclusion. All interest was lost as I just wanted to get my completion trophy and delete. Shame as I quite liked the game early on too, but Zestiria really did turn out to be my least favorite Tales game on the franchise(of those played). It's a mess and GAF was right.
That said, I am ready to jump into Berseria! Thought I would burnout playing both back to back, but I really am looking forward to a good Tales game especially now.

Berseria is a notably higher game in quality than Zesteria is. So it stands to reason it would get higher scores...

I'm upset the steam version of the game doesn't release until Thursday. I save 15 bucks waiting for Steam. :|

Reviews are starting to trickle out. Destructoid has a review in progress. Overall, seems good!

I guess we'll see.
That's.... pretty good actually if most reviewers will share the same opinion.
Visuals has always been bad after Vesperia, so it's not surprising.
Ign gave it 8.8, a really high score. I think the reviewer is the resident JRPG fan so that's cool.
Also, I'm strongly considering cancelling my CE at Amazon and just pre-ordering on PSN. If anyone is interested in the CE still, I can post here or PM when I cancel it so you can try to grab it.

Called it her favorite game in the series.
8.8 is crazy high for a Tales game, isn't it? I'm excited!
Oh for sure lol. I just think I'll probably put Yakuza on the back burner while I play ToB.
Pretty sure Yakuza's gonna take you a week at least.

I'll throw a review thread together in 30 mins if nobody else does first
The OP has a paragraph describing it. Sounds more like FFIX where each piece of equipment has skills attached you learn passively by equipping. Once you master learning each skill(likely via combat) you can swap the piece for something else and keep what you learned permanently. So yes, very different from Zestiria.
Basically echoing sentiments in Japan and in the import thread
Its also a view i personally share from experience

Is that pirate dlc free?
Bleh, would be better if you linked to the actual official statement instead the OP who keeps refusing to do so: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=226299847#post226299847
Of course not.
)How is hard mode compared to xillia difficulty? I found xillia normal mode enough challenging, not too frustrating but punishes enough if you are low on level and gear. Is berseria's hard mode equivalent to normal mode in xillia?

This and KH. Hurry up tomorrow.
To me Hard in Berseria would be around Normal in Xillia. The main thing in Berseria is that each character has special abilities that feel overturned in Normal Mode, and if you've already played Graces and/or Zestiria this game won't feel too unfamiliar, which can further reduce the challenge. It's fun if you just want to wreck stuff but I feel Hard mode asks for a little more finesse in normal encounters without necessarily requiring a super high understanding of the game or a lot of precision.

Saw cons from gamespot on visuals.
How does it look to everyone? From the screens I quickly saw looked fairly vibrant. Maybe not mind blowing but decent.
