Board 8 > So apparently FFXIII-2's preorder bonus is.....an optional boss

(+) Yeah! (+)

That boss is......Omega.

And then since there's a monster collecting game, Omega can then join your party.

So.......does anyone else think in-game preorder bonuses are terrible?

At least the other pre-order bonuses suck so there's no difficult decision to make as for where to get the game from.

Terrible as in goddamn I really want this but I don't want to preorder.

So Omega is a human now?

Doesn't seem like that, considering he "joins your party" as part of the monster collecting game, apparently.

Best Buy is pretty much the only place to get this. At least the book will have some value to someone.

edwardsdv and swordz9 are basically the comedy heel tag team of this topic, why would people be taking them seriously?

Ahh.

Don't worry about DLC guys, it's a good thing.

Also I think we're overlooking the important part here. MONSTERS CAN JOIN YOUR PARTY.

How cool ist hat.

Does anyone know what Serah's alt looks like? I wouldn't mind getting that if she was in her 13 costume.

In 2020, KH3 will become an optional pre-order bonus for FF20.

Oh, sorry, only half of KH3. The other half will be a pre-order bonus for DQ15.

well then

I wonder how they'll do this in europe

--
DON~!

Most pre-order dlc ends up on the marketplace anyway. And I just checked Amazon, and the game is 10€ more expensive than I expect it to be where I usually buy my games. Basically, I don't care whether Amazon Europe has the same deal, I ain't preordering.

Yeh because TOS2 is totally the same game as FFXIII-2 and is the only RPG ever to have monster recruiting.

Oh wait except neither of those things are true and its worked great in the past.

I enjoy monster recruiting games, it's just that from what they've shown, it looks just as lame and tacked on as it was in ToS2.

It's different from building an entire game around monsters like Pokemon, SMT, Dragon Quest Monsters, etc.

You have no time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball.

Omega was a human turned fiend in FFX, so it wouldn't be entirely unprecedented.

Well we never saw his human form even there. All monster/machine all the time.

Actually... was the Omega in FF8 a rider on top of a beast or a centaur-like creature?

Welp, that settles that!

Although I could've sworn I saw an Omega Weapon figurine for sale and the beast and the rider was separate... oh well.
